In a few sentences, what is a typical day in your life like?
I get up and take a run with my dog Echo. I then shower and dress and join my large three generation family for breakfast. If school is in session I go to work at the local high school where I teach physical education and coach soccer, skiing, and softball. If school is not in session I help out at the resort. I spend as much time as I can with my boyfriend Kyle and I make sure to spend quality time with my sisters. And then of course there is the sleuthing that seems to occupy a lot more of my life than I would prefer.

You can read about Tj in Beaches in Paradise, the ninth book in the “Tj Jensen” mystery series. The first book in the series is Pumpkins in Paradise.
Tj Jensen’s life is thrown into turmoil when a good friend turns up missing after a serious auto accident. Not only is the driver of the vehicle, Gina Roberts, nowhere to be found, but she’s the prime suspect in the murder of her passenger, Striker Bristow.
He didn’t die from injuries relating to the accident. He was shot in the back.
With Roy out of town and Kate running the show, Tj finds herself again excluded from the official investigation. She knows it would be wise not to anger the new deputy, who seems to be looking for a reason to have her arrested, but Tj knows that time is of the essence and the stakes are high.
She enlists the help of her friends to accomplish the impossible and find the woman who seems to have simply disappeared.
