The Secret Staircase
3rd book in The Victorian Village Mysteries
Welcome back to Asheboro, Maryland, where real estate can be a matter of life and death...
Coming back to her hometown was never on the agenda for hotelier Kate Hamilton. But when she's offered a chance to lead the charge of transforming the landscape into a Victorian village and tourist attraction, Kate can't quite refuse. The only problem? Nobody in Asheboro has the passion, or the funds, to get plans off the ground. . .until Kate teams up with handsome historian Joshua Wainwright, who has ambitious ideas of his own involving an old mansion and a treasure-trove of documents that could attract investors and help seal the deal.
I always wanted to write, but it took me until 2001 to even try to write a book, until 2006 to find an agent, and until 2008 before I could hold a published book of my own in my hands. Now I write multiple mystery series: the Orchard Mysteries for Berkley, the County Cork Mysteries, set in Ireland, for Crooked Lane Books, the Relatively Dead Mysteries for Beyond the Page Publishing, and the Victorian Village series, from St. Martin’s Press.
I also write short stories, which have appeared in multiple anthologies.
