I'm so excited to share my new thriller novel with you. It is set in the North Carolina mountains and follows the point of views of four characters as they unravel the mystery surrounding a missing hiker in the deadly terrain. This is a completely new set of characters from my previous murder mystery series. But like my previous fiction, the main character is a crime journalist who can't walk away from the tug of case once it gets in her head. My plan is that "Whispers on the Mountain" will be the first in a new ficton series. This is my thirteenth book. To learn more about the book and how to order it see the link below!

If you’re a parent, you know the drill—shuttling your kids to and from activities after school and on weekends. Whether they’re involved in sports or creative pursuits like dance or theater, you’re their guide, their constant companion, their rock, and their safety net. We do it all out of love, but sometimes the demands can be even bigger than we imagined. Take young performers, for instance. Parenting a budding professional musician elevates these demands to a whole new level. Today, we’re chatting with a mother-daughter duo who transformed an 11-year-old girl’s passion for writing music in her bedroom into a thriving career in Nashville. Linda Hatala isn’t your average “momager” to her singer daughter, Brooke Hatala. Tune in to learn what it takes to support a rising star while letting her shine bright.

As women, we’re always looking for ways to update our style, to add more creativity and more fun to our looks and our lives. Our style is more than just the picture we show the outside world; it’s a reflection of who we are and who we are becoming. This is especially critical for women in midlife when we are seeking ways to redefine ourselves. Something as simple as embracing small style changes can help us on this journey to becoming our authentic selves. A big part of this style transformation is how we use accessories—specifically jewelry-to make a statement about who we are. In this episode, we speak to a rising star in the jewelry making world, Kenda Kistenmacher, owner and creator of Kenda Kist Jewelry, who gives us tips on how accessories can make your look pop. But Kenda isn’t just an artist, she is also someone who believes deeply in mentoring young women in her industry and aligning her values with her work.
