Questions, gently answered.

Yes. A Murder on the Jacaranda Coast is a free prequel novella; the easiest way to get it is to join the postcard list, where it lands straight in your inbox.

A Murder on the Jacaranda Coast, the prequel, is out now — read it free from the postcard list, or buy it at Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo and more. The novels are still being written, and the list hears the moment each one lands.

The novels will be in Kindle Unlimited when they launch. The free prequel, A Murder on the Jacaranda Coast, isn’t — it’s available wide, at Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo and more, and it’s free straight from the postcard list.

The free prequel is ready right now — A Murder on the Jacaranda Coast lands in your inbox the moment you join the postcard list. Book one, A Murder in the Marigold Cloister, is coming soon; the rest of the series follows later, one city at a time. No firm dates yet, but the list always hears first.

Yes. Ten books are planned, following June across a decade and around the world. The postcard list hears about each new destination first.

Start with the free prequel, A Murder on the Jacaranda Coast. After that each book stands on its own, though June and her world grow richer if you read them in order. It arrives free when you join the postcard list.

No. They’re cozy mysteries: gentle, atmospheric, more puzzle-and-place than blood. A body turns up, but the pleasure is in the garden, the town and the slow-burn romance. If that’s your kind of evening, the postcards are too.

A slow-burn one, yes — sweet and closed-door. There are love stories threaded all the way through the series, warm and tender, but nothing spicy: no explicit scenes on the page, and no cliffhangers that hold your heart hostage, promise. You’ll watch it unfold first from the postcard list.

The cities are real and lived-in — I write about places I’ve actually stood in. The houses, families and crimes are invented. Now and then, the postcards wander back to one of them.

The free prequel the day you join, and after that a digital postcard from my desk now and then — cover reveals, launch news and first dibs on early-reader copies. No fixed schedule, nothing pushy. Come and join us.
