Belonging to a book club and being part of the literary community in Blue Water County can be deadly.

Belonging to a book club and being part of the literary community in Blue Water County can be deadly. For the last eleven years, respected schoolteacher and mystery writer, Ivy Rose, who left behind her traumatic past, has enjoyed a quiet life in the pretty town of Port Ripley with its picturesque sunsets over the lake. But when the body of a fellow book club member washes ashore, the first in a series of suspicious deaths, the town becomes immersed in murder, forcing Ivy to come to terms with the dark secrets that haunt her.

About the Author

After retiring from teaching, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a published author. Having spent some time cold querying literary agents myself before getting published, I thought it would be fun to write a book about aspiring authors and the challenges we face. That's how Cold Query came to be. Inspired by one of the Great Lakes and a beautiful beach town, Cold Query is set in a charming little spot on the lakeshore. I've combined a place I enjoy visiting with my love of all things literary. Like my main character, who is also a teacher, I love book clubs, book festivals, and online writing groups. As a mystery/thriller author, it's only natural that I added murder to her idyllic writer's community.
