Hi, it’s me – Marcy.
It’s been almost 9 months since my last blog post. Because that’s time enough to birth a baby, I thought instead I would birth a new cover for my debut novel, Pennies from Burger Heaven (300+ Amazon reviews).
I’m told this new design sets more of mood and tone about my award-winning story. I hope you agree.
Drumroll, please!

This is difficult to discuss. First, I want you to know I’ve finally figured out what was wrong with Bones and Lies Between Us (Copper #2), so the sequel to Pennies from Burger Heaven WILL be released later this fall. HALLELUJAH! Can you hear the angels singing?

Financially, it makes more sense to move elsewhere.
Our two kids were ages three and one-month old when we first moved into our home in 2000. I read Brown Bear, Brown Bear a bazillion times to my babies there. We had pumpkin-carving parties each October and ‘Pizza, Family Movie Night’ on Fridays (’til the kids became teenagers and preferred hanging out with their friends over us on the weekends).
My husband and I laughed and screamed and cried together in that house. We had a Gawd-awful 1950’s pink bathroom in the hallway I always intended to redo but now, I’ll never get the chance.

Recently, I woke up from a dream about a dead body. It took place early in the morning at the cemetery … a corpse had gone missing … someone was in trouble for the crime. Life turned ugly.
The end result of that dream is …
