It’s almost the one-year anniversary of my first published book. I’m so thankful and amazed at this great feat. I’m diligently writing my second novel.

The Seaside Painting Caper is a “breezy debut novel” as noted in the Kirkus Reviews. My character, Trina, takes a much-needed break from her museum job and travels to Catamara, a beach resort town, to work in the family’s Hidden Treasure Gift Shop.

Trina is intrigued with a missing 100 year old painting–a dark angel painting–and twin to its magnificent white angel painting hanging in Catamara’s oldest church. Her sleuthing efforts are joined by Daniel, who helps her search through the twisting rooms and stairways of the church.

She soon finds herself embroiled in an art forgery scheme and enlists her friends to help draw out the culprits.

You’ll enjoy my sunny beach story amid summer’s white sand, blue skies, surfing waves and tide-pool adventures as Trina reacquaints herself with God’s abiding love and direction in her life.

Read for pleasure.
