I’m currently working on a cozy mystery series with a touch of the same spiritual essence as my previous novels, but lighter in flavor, language and depth of research.

But on a perfect Sunday afternoon, Gigi discovers steamy text messages on her fiancé's phone. She flees their home in a rage—completely naked—to the summer town of Baytonhill. There, she hatches a plan on how to win her old life back. However, the late Aunt Cora has other plans. She might be dead, but she’s still talking. And she knows how to make Gigi listen. So when the sweet little lady who lives next door is murdered, Gigi enlists her deceased housemate to help her find the killer.
