Listen to a sample

Lily Piper is a young yoga instructor recovering from an accident that has left her in a deep depression.
She’s slowly working her way back to good health and has even signed up for a challenging open water swim, but something’s still missing — there’s no spark, no excitement, and she’s a little lonely.
One day, one of Lily’s clients tells her and a group of fellow students about an autopsy that was accidentally performed on the wrong body at the hospital where she works. She was hoping to send the body to the funeral home as quickly as possible, but when the medical examiner’s report is complete, it states that death was due to homicide!
Intrigued, Lily and her peers can’t help but investigate. The murkiness of the woman’s death sparks the very type of passion and interest that Lily has been yearning to feel – and a second murder leaves her chasing answers even more fervently. (2023)

A Slaughter of Iguanas

Engaging, fun murder mystery that still packs a punch as it delves into the core of friendship, competition, fear, and assumptions—and the basic human instincts that can lead almost anyone to commit a monstrous act

Swim, bike…murder! A body turns up during a triathlon, but this death was no accident.
It’s a hot, humid DC summer and yoga instructor Lily Piper should be sitting pretty after a year of good fortune. Instead, she is plagued by anxiety. She wants to keep moving forward and take the next big step but doesn’t know how. A chance meeting with a team of athletes in town for a big competition seems promising, especially when one of them asks her out. Then her new boyfriend is found to be the murder victim, and Lily is determined to help the police bring the killer to justice. She believes a clue to the motive behind the crime might be locked in her own memory, but finding it won’t be easy. Her anxiety has made her spacy and distracted, so she turns to meditation and her yoga practice to awaken her third eye and help nudge her recollection. Pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place, but it may not be enough before Lily finds herself in danger of becoming the next victim. (SOON!)
