I love history so I weave real people and events into the mystery. At the end of the mystery, I have placed an addendum giving more historical information. I think the 1930s were so fascinating. That's the decade where things were happening like women throwing off their apron strings and taking their place in the world. There was also great poverty, labor strikes, and political upheaval due to the Great Depression, as well as glamour, beautiful clothes, and snazzy cars. It was a decade of contradictions. So join Mona Moon for murder and mayhem reading fun as she solves a mystery out in the great West!

I'm from a tiny town in the Midwest. People in small towns are a bit quirky and I say that in the most loving way. They have inspired my view of the world. I wanted to create a town with unusual people who are, above all, loving and supportive of each other. I hope all of my books convey that spirit.
