Detective Kate Morgan wishes all holidays were filled with celebration and joy, but her latest crime scene tells a different story. The leftover festive spirits of Christmas and the new year are overshadowed by the grim reality of another murder. No amount of ribbon wrapped around the body or notations on a greeting card to Believe can change that.
As she delves into the first murder of this year, Kate unexpectedly uncovers a second case—another victim and another instance of holiday cheer turned sour. Are these cases linked, or is Vancouver experiencing an unusually grim extended holiday season?
Simon stands by Kate, offering his unwavering support in her investigations, just as she stands by him and his architectural rehab projects and his peculiar psychic visions. However, when these visions and unsettling rumors begin to threaten his real estate business, Simon realizes more is at play ...
But what exactly is happening, and is Kate involved in all this?
Hey there. I’m a Canadian USA Today best-selling author, and I love writing for everyone—whether you’re young, old, or somewhere in between. My books? Well, they’re a mixed bag. Some are steamy, some are sweet, and a few might have you sleeping with the lights on. Others are perfect for snuggling up with.
I’ve never been one to color inside the lines or stick to a single path. I embrace the wild stories that pop into my head, even if they break the rules and dance across genres. A few years ago, I switched to dictating my stories because my fingers were starting to feel the impact of my steady 10,000 words a day. Dictating is linear, so it silences my internal editor. You can’t stop to ensure something is perfect or to see what needs changing—you must continue onward. This approach has allowed me to let my muse take the lead and to feel the story pour from my heart. My mind steps in during the editing process, but, until then, it’s all about letting the characters direct the story. That’s why my stories have that existential feel of a Dale Mayer book.
And you know what? That’s totally okay with me.
One thing’s for sure: every book I write promises to be a great read, every single time.
