Welcome!

Hello, interwebs! I'm excited to be started my own website like a "real" author. A little bit about me:

I'm a self-published short mystery writer who has a background in art history. My first short story was "Hanged to Death," and I currently have 3 other short mysteries, either short stories or novellas, in various stages of being written and edited.

What you can expect to find on this site:

• Updates about new and upcoming releases
• My current book list
• Contact information
• I like to have schedules for things. Right now I have Mondays for posts about writing, Wednesdays for posts about whatever topic I'm researching, Fridays for musings about entertainment, and Saturdays are devoted to pet pictures.

Thank you for your interest in me and my writing!
