Pacific Coast Secrets

Basalt sea stacks rising from a misty Pacific at golden hour

Follow along as I drive the Oregon Coast — Seattle to Jacksonville and home through Canby — chasing the fog, the sea stacks, and the small-town secrets that are becoming my next mystery thriller. New dispatches and videos from the road, and a guestbook where you can leave your mark.

About the Author

Who's Writing

I write atmospheric mysteries set where the land keeps its secrets. This summer I'm taking the long coastal road south, letting the cliffs, harbors, and old Gold Rush towns shape a new thriller — and sharing the journey with the readers who make the work worthwhile.
