I’m happy to share with you the cover reveal for the first book in the NEW “Texts From Beyond” mystery series, coming January 2022.

Book Synopsis
Sydney Farina is having a bad enough week when her boss forces her to go into work on her day off. When she arrives to find police cars surrounding the bakery and her boss’s corpse on the floor, her week gets a whole lot worse.

She’s shocked to learn it was murder—though maybe not too shocked. Her short-tempered boss, Glenda Whitaker, made more enemies than she did sprinkled cupcakes.

Then the texts start coming.

They’re from Glenda’s number, demanding Sydney find out who murdered her. Sydney thinks the messages are a bad joke at first, but when they reveal things only Glenda would know, she’s forced to accept the truth:

She’s getting texts from a dead woman.

Glenda’s ghost wants justice, but Sydney doesn’t know the first thing about solving murders. As she investigates her own coworkers, can she find out who killed Glenda? Or will she join her grouchy boss on the other side of the grave?
