It might have been stormy in North Georgia this weekend- but after the rain comes sunshine! ☀️

We had had a great time at the last shows of A Special Kind of Heartache, following the storms on Saturday night.

Good laughs, good wine, and a good time was had by all!

If you visited us at @kayavineyards these last two weekends, thank you for sharing in the island magic!

There are a lot of new faces around here recently (yay for new friends!) so I thought I would share some fun facts about me:

-I lived “up north” in New England and New Jersey for much of my life before moving to the South! I still miss those delicious bagels!

-My books are based on the real-life Daufuskie Island- my happy place.

-My favorite flowers are Black Eyed Susans!

-I’ve always been a reader, and my favorite authors are Maeve Binchy and Elizabeth George.

-Life is busy, but when I can get a quiet moment I prefer a physical book to my Kindle!

Thank you for being on this journey with me. Wishing you LOTS of island magic! ✨

I loved writing A Special Kind of Heartache! I hope this gives you a taste of what is in store when you read it- Book #2 in The Island Mysteries series.

This book is special to me not only because of its setting, but also because it shows the power of a strong community!

Buy today online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers - OR get it from a small bookstore near you! (Pro tip: if your local bookstore doesn’t carry The Island Mysteries they can order through Ingram!)

The plot of A Special Kind of Heartache brings PLENTY of mystery, amateur sleuthing, and island magic to life!

“In the second installment of The Island Mysteries, Carr Jepson, Mongin Island’s amateur sleuth, and her friends are beginning to prepare for cooler days and fewer tourists.

But things change quickly with the arrival of a girls’ trip vacationing at the cozy Rosemont Inn, an artist who uses the island’s beautiful water views as inspiration for his latest project, and a career coach who seems to be interested in more than professional development. Could the vibrant residents who call this place home and the nearby bustling quaint harborside stores shed light on what was found in the nearby dune grass?

Carr will soon understand that truly being part of the Mongin Island community means she will have to rely on other people and put her helpful investigation skills to the test.”

“In the second installment of The Island Mysteries, Carr Jepson, Mongin Island’s amateur sleuth, and her friends are beginning to prepare for cooler days and fewer tourists.

But things change quickly with the arrival of a girls’ trip vacationing at the cozy Rosemont Inn, an artist who uses the island’s beautiful water views as inspiration for his latest project, and a career coach who seems to be interested in more than professional development. Could the vibrant residents who call this place home and the nearby bustling quaint harborside stores shed light on what was found in the nearby dune grass?

Carr will soon understand that truly being part of the Mongin Island community means she will have to rely on other people and put her helpful investigation skills to the test.”

Thank you to Kristen for another 5 ⭐️ review on Amazon!

Have you grabbed your copy of A Special Kind of Heartache yet?

It’s a cozy mystery, set on a South Carolina Lowcountry island, full of new and familiar characters, a changing season for the community (chili cook-off anyone?), and…of course…a mysterious disappearance that requires PLENTY of sleuthing!

If you read and loved A Special Kind of Heartache, please leave a review on Amazon!

It means the world to authors when we hear how our words have touched the hearts of others! ❤️

It was a day filled with celebration, warming up by the fire, time spent with wonderful people, and adventures around this special island.

I already can’t wait for next year!

Some favorites of mine for January! Yummy tea, indoor walks on the walking pad (too cold outside!), organizing and setting intentions for the year ahead…is it just me, or is January one of the most exciting months?

For this month’s reading I’m getting into some interesting memoirs- starting with one on Bunny Mellon. What a fascinating life!

Do we share any favorites in common?

And if you are looking for a new book in the new year consider The Island Mysteries! Two cozy mystery books set on the beautiful lowcountry island that is based on my real-life favorite (all year long!). Island community with a dash of sleuthing…check them out today at the link in my bio!
