Nothing ever happens in Meadowlark Creek. Until the morning after the First of June Festival, when the town’s most despised man turns up dead on a park bench. The sheriff is ready to call it an accident. June Higgins knows better. With a lifetime of listening and understanding behind her, the retired librarian decides the sheriff needs help… whether he wants it or not. In a town where gossip spreads faster than truth, June must uncover which secret would reveal the answers. With the help of her granddaughter Sara Lee, a scruffy rescue dog, and an orange library cat with an uncanny habit of knocking the right books off the shelf, June begins asking the questions no one else thinks to ask. But the more she digs, the more she realizes this town's darkest truths aren't buried deep. They've been hiding in plain sight all along. A warm, witty cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, clever sleuthing, gentle humor, and just enough danger to keep you guessing—June’s First Murder is perfect for readers who love classic cozies with smart twists and heartfelt depth. If you love Maryann Jordan’s romantic suspense, you’ll fall in love with my new cozy mysteries!

As an Award Winning and International Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo Best Selling Author, I have always been an avid reader. I joke that I "cut my romance teeth" on the old historical romance books. I’ve written as a hobby for over 30 years. In 2014, I finally gave in to the characters in my head pleading for their story to be told. Thus, Emma's Home was created. My first novel, Emma's Home became an Amazon Best Seller in 3 categories within the first month of publishing. Its success was followed by the rest of the Fairfield Series and then led into the Love's Series. From there I have continued with the romantic suspense Alvarez Security Series and now the Saints Protection & Investigation Series. My books are filled with sweet romance and hot sex; mystery, suspense, real life characters and situations. My heroes are alphas, take charge men who love the strong, independent women they fall in love with. I worked as a counselor in a high school and have been involved in education for the past 30 years. I recently retired and now can spend more time devoted to my writing. I have been married to a wonderfully patient man for 35 years and have 2 adult, very supportive daughters. When writing, my dog or one of my cats will usually be found in my lap!
