WELCOME
Hello, and thanks for stopping by! I’m a retired journalist who spent more than 30 years inside a bustling television newsroom — a career that culminated in my role as News Director. Those decades of deadlines, breaking stories, and real-world mysteries shaped not only who I am, but also the stories I now love to write. The Visions of Murder Series: I’m the author of three murder mysteries that follow a determined, ethics-driven journalist in her thirties whose dedication to the truth is matched only by the darkness that shadows her. Haunted by sudden, unpredictable visions of violent crimes, she’s pulled into danger again and again — compelled to confront what she sees, even when it puts her life on the line.
Book One: Breaking: Visions of Murder: The story begins with the unsettling arrival of her visions — and the deadly path they lead her down.
Book Two: Live Shot: Visions of Murder: In this release, the stakes escalate as her visions evolve to a predictive level thrusting her deeper into a world where violence is guaranteed, unless she can find a way to stop it.
Book Three: Wrecked: Visions of Murder: In this newest release, Bekka's visions point to a deadly encounter that hits too close to home. Plus, she uncovers a secret journal that reveals a mystery her mother has hidden for decades.
