Deadlier Than the Pen: A Diana Spaulding Mystery

In 1888, the murder of two female journalists in the New York City prompts newly widowed journalist Diana Spaulding to investigate the handsome horror author Damon Bathory in this historical mystery. Although her growing affection for Bathory makes her increasingly reluctant to pursue him, Spaulding is spurred on by her cigar-chomping boss Horatio Foxe in an adventure that pits her against a deranged artist, a matriarch with a bloodthirsty sense of humor, and a traveling acting troupe of egotistical men and jealous women. Written against the background of New York City during the height of yellow journalism, the novel brings to life not only the the fast-paced murder mystery that Spaulding investigates, but also the day-to-day realities and hardships of the gilded age.

Mystery

When the discovery of a white man's body at a sacred ancient Hawaiian burial site enrages members of a radical Hawaiian separatist group, Honolulu Police Officer K. O. Ogden is dragged into a web of greed, deception, and misplaced loyalty as she tries to find the killer in this thrilling murder mystery. Portraying a Hawaii rarely seen by tourists, this whimsical novel addresses the volatile and serious issue of Hawaiian sovereignty and introduces such "Hawaiian" characters as the savvy street hustlers of Honolulu, the rural stewards of Hawaiian Homelands, and the pidgin-speaking cops all over the islands. With a lushness that one can almost breathe, this suspenseful whodunit takes readers on a gripping, tropical adventure that is driven by a looming threat of loss as the very real rift between Hawaiian separatists and the U. S. government is explored.

Eighth and final book in the Blue Satan Mystery Series. Ten years have passed since the outlaw Gideon Fitzsimmons, Viscount St. Mars (aka Blue Satan) and his wife Hester sailed from England to France to live together without the threat of arrest. Despite the joys that have come with a growing family, they have also been subject to dangers. When news arrives that George I has died, they decide to risk all to return to England to establish St. Mars's innocence and to reclaim his birthright. No sooner do they land in Dover, however, than someone tries to kill him. The villain escapes, but in London other attempts occur. Does the threat come from St. Mars's cousin Harrowby as he tries to hang on to the title of Earl of Hawkhurst, from an enemy out of Hester's past, or from an unknown murderer who wants to destroy Gideon, and if so, why? His future, and that of his family, rests on the case he will bring in the House of Lords, but as the case wavers, the assassin strikes again. St. Mars works to discover the villain's identity, while Hester searches for a missing piece of evidence to prove her husband's innocence.
