COMING IN 2024: There will be another Nora Brady mystery, set on both the west and the east coasts. Also in the works is a stand-alone: TOOTS, a historical novel set at the turn of the century, which is also based on a true story. This involves the life of a woman who emigrated from Ireland, worked as a servant in New York and Chicago, married a homesteader from Nebraska, and still survived, having tragically lost everything, including her family, during the Dust Bowl depression.
