Info on Nora From The Hollow, My New Book

     I am SO excited to show you all the cover of Nora From The Hollow!! This book will be available Saturday, September 22nd, the first day of fall!

If you’re like me, and love fall, this book will satisfy all of your fall time cravings. There’s murder, mystery, spooky scenes, and twists and turns you’ll never expect! Heck, I didn’t even expect half of them!😂 As always, my books are comprised of elements that all ages can enjoy. So, get ready to snuggle up by the fire, sip on some hot chocolate, and follow Nora’s story as she finds out who murdered her husband, Lucius.

Here’s the brief book description:

In the fall of 1895, in the small town of Hollow Springs, there have been a string of murders. Most of these killings have happened during a fog, causing the townspeople to create superstitions around this naturally occurring event. This time, it was Nora Lusk’s husband, Lucius. Lucius wasn’t perfect. He was actually far from perfect. This leads Nora to make a list of three people who were capable of killing her husband. Lucius was known for putting counterfeit money into the church’s offering plate. Therefore, the angry Preacher Cliff is the first suspect. The second, Alice Mabe, was Lucius’ lover. She seemed like the type who would kill someone for the simple reason that if she couldn’t have them, no one could. Lastly, Silas Blanche, saw the way Lucius treated Nora and looked forward to the day when he could treat Nora better. Yet, he couldn’t do it with Lucius in the way. Ironically, when the town points their fingers at Nora, she and her beloved friends must work quickly to investigate the twists and tangles of the deep family rivalries, and the small town secrets of Hollow Springs, to clear her name! Just when you think you know what happened and why, another curve ball is thrown into the mix!

Some great characters you’ll love:

Nora Lusk: She’s the anti-social crazy lady with a short fuse that the town fears. Yet, she has a soft side for her friends.

Dirk Ward: He’s one of the sheriff’s deputies who finds himself tasked with solving the murder of Lucius Lusk, Nora’s husband.

Amy and Amelia Ward: Sisters to Dirk and best friends/neighbors of Nora, serve as accomplices in the complicated investigation.

One interesting thing to note, my great grandmother’s maiden name was Nora Lusk. When searching for creepy dark names for my characters, I knew I had to use her name as the main character! Although I never got to meet her, I’m sure she would be thrilled!
