Welcome to my website. My latest book is If Hooks Could Kill, and Behind the Seams is out for the first time in paperback. I think the Berkley art department has done another outstanding job with the covers.

Just a note about the future. In addition to the crochet mysteries, I'm going to be writing another series about Casey Feldstein, a dessert chef, who puts on yarn retreats at a slightly sinister hotel and conference center on the Monterey peninsula in Northern California. The first book is called Yarn to Go and comes out in July 2013. There will be lots of yarn, fun and food, with a pattern and recipe included.

Molly Pink &
The Tarzana Hookers

Molly Pink has so much going on this holiday season, it's hard to find time to crochet as much as a snowflake. The bookstore where she works is adding a yarn department and planning a huge launch party where the mysterious author of a popular series will reveal his or her true identity. But when Molly's neighbor turns up missing, she can't resist adding sleuthing to her to-do list and gets hooked on unraveling another mystery.
