Audio: The Mystery of the Bones

The Mystery of the Bones (Snow & Winter: Book Four) is now available in audio! Narrated by Wyatt Baker, this at long last brings the entire series to completion in ebook, paperback, and audiobook. You can pick up a copy at either Audible or Amazon (with iTunes to go live shortly.)

Blurb: It’s been a full year since the mystery that brought together antique shop owner and part-time amateur sleuth Sebastian Snow with homicide detective Calvin Winter. Patience, sanity, and their very lives have been put to the test, but love has persevered. Although Sebastian is now New York City’s best-known busybody, he’s finished with crime solving and wants nothing more than to plan a romantic budget wedding.

Then Snow’s Antique Emporium receives a decapitated human head in the mail and the holidays are gory once again. Sebastian patently disregards the mystery of a lifetime because he is done with death and danger — but the killer escalates. Before Sebastian knows it, his closest friends and family are dragged into a series of horrific murders with antiquated clues hinting to the infamous Victorian American Bones Wars.

The clock is ticking to recover a long-lost artifact linked to paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope and to capture a murderer. But it’s not Sebastian who may become the next target — it’s Calvin.

A Friend in the Dark release day


It's release day for my first co-written project and Book 1 in an all-new mystery series: A Friend in the Dark (An Auden & O'Callaghan Mystery.) My co-writer is none other than good friend and wildly talented mystery author, Gregory Ashe. I'm so thankful for the opportunity we had to write this book, as it was a vehicle for me to explore the angst and grit that's in my author voice, but hasn't had the proper home in any of the current series I write under my own name.

How we wrote this book was also a lesson in discipline. Everyday, we hopped online and wrote in the same Google Doc—literally line by line we combined our voices and styles into something that I feel is wholly unique from just Ashe or just Poe. It was a lot of fun and wild and jump-started my stalled out creativity at the beginning of 2020.

I really hope you enjoy the danger, adventure, and complicated romance of Rufus and Sam!

Blurb: Rufus O’Callaghan has eked out a living on the streets of New York City by helping the police put away criminals as a confidential informant. But when Rufus shows up for an arranged meeting and finds his handler dead, his already-uncertain life is thrown into a tailspin. Now someone is trying to kill Rufus too, and he’s determined to find out why.

After leaving the Army under less than desirable circumstances, Sam Auden has drifted from town to town, hitching rides and catching Greyhounds, until he learns that a former Army buddy, now a police detective in New York City, has died by suicide. Sam knows that’s not right, and he immediately sets out to get answers.

As Rufus and Sam work together to learn the truth of their friend’s death, they find themselves entangled in a web of lies, cover-ups, and accelerating danger. And when they witness a suspect killed in cold blood, they realize they’re running out of time.

Available with all vendors—ebook and paperback!
