She is the author of the Cupcake Bakery Mysteries, including "Going, Going, Ganache, Red Velvet Revenge, Death by the Dozen, Buttercream Bump Off "and "Sprinkle With Murder," the Hat Shop Mysteries, including "Cloche and Dagger "and "Death of A Mad Hatter," and the Library Lover's Mysteries, including "Read It and Weep, Book, Line, and Sinker, Due or Die, "and "Books Can Be Deceiving.
