New series launches in June!

The Lost Highway Thrillers are a collaboration with my husband, Scottish crime author Craig Robertson.

Maybe it was because we were one of those couples who did surprisingly well being locked down together during the pandemic. But last year, we broke our longstanding promise (it was actually in our wedding vows) that we would never (ever, not in a million years) write together. We actually like being married to each other, so this was quite a risk. And I won’t lie, it was a bad idea for a long time.

The thing is, the story was so good we had to keep going. And hey—we’ve just finished Book 2— and we’re still married!

The Grapevine follows a brash, take-no-prisoners mother on an epic journey into the wilds of California as she searches for her missing daughter.

A year ago, Lou Gomersall’s 19-year old daughter Abby went on a mysterious road trip and vanished without a trace. When the police fail to come up with answers, Lou takes the family RV on the road to investigate other possibly linked missing persons cases in a desperate mission to find Abby—

Or face her killer.

The book is out June 23, and for our launch we’re doing a Lou— we’re taking an RV out on the road and driving around California to locations from the book, doing some signings, shooting some videos, researching Book 3.
