Put Steele and Stone together and you get explosive chemistry… the pages fairly sizzle…. Another Side of Midnight grabs you right from the very beginning and keeps you until the end.”

Dear Reader,
A funny thing happened while driving home from lunch with girlfriends one day. A kick-ass heroine and a complex premise attacked me and didn’t let go of my imagination until the story had unfolded onto the manuscript pages…. Now here it is three years later and I could not be prouder to introduce you to the hero and heroine of my first mystery novel.
Steele Mezzanotte has a new P.I. agency, a showgirl’s body and a sharp-edged attitude. Born and raised in Vegas, street smarts and a smart mouth have always kept her in control of any situation. That is, until Cameron Stone walks into her life. Drop-dead gorgeous, with a lot of Scots charm, the enigmatic “problem solver” has a habit of disappearing, but he’ll always return to Sin City. And to Steele. Because the only thing that comes between a rock and a hard case is love…the greatest mystery of all.
Let me know if you enjoy the story as much as I loved writing it. I love to hear from my readers!

As a writer I know how important words are. And yet I can’t seem to find the right ones to express the breadth and depth of my gratitude to those friends who have kept the faith when my own wavered. This story is dedicated to Mom and Lisa, who believed from the beginning and to Rachel and John who loved it to the end. Thank you from my heart. I’m also very grateful to Marsha Zinberg, Birgit Davis-Todd, and Kathryn Lye for standing by this project from the first premise and pitch. Thank you, ladies!
