Diamonds cut glass. Some shred lives. This fast-paced mystery begins at the Wine Valley Harvest Festival, where an old-timer teaches children to sift dirt to find gems. But no one expects a real find—benitoite—the California blue diamond. The next morning, a geologist inspects the mine. She finds a dead body. Det. Max King and Dr. Joy Burton investigate. To sparkle, gems scatter and fracture light; to obtain them, people kill. To make matters worse, a film crew meddles in the investigation. The director is obsessed with capturing every facet of the unfolding story. Meantime, Max and Joy pursue their mysterious past before being adopted by two different fathers. Just when they consider burying their past, their secret is unearthed. Can they bury the past once and for all and lay down the shovel? Step into the vineyards and revel in the wicked world of Wine Valley. Read Rosé and Rocks today.

Hi, readers! I love to create stories with pithy dialogue, gritty action, mind-blowing plots and unique characters: flawed, passionate, and sometimes disturbed. I'm a USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling author. I completed the Humanities Honors Program at U.C. Irvine and earned my MFA in Creative Writing and MA in English from Chapman University. I've spent 15+ years teaching multiple subjects to middle school students. I love to teach as much as I love to write. My students inspire me! Wine Valley Mystery series is for adults—Noir Crime/Traditional Detective. The boxed set hit #1 Best Seller on Amazon upon release. The prequels of light and cheery Detective Max King, dark and disturbed Dr. Joy Burton, and tough-guy, Officer Reed Steele are FREE. https://dl.bookfunnel.com/91qn64o3vc My debut novel, Unveiling, a stand-alone, takes place in the colorful deserts of Saudi Arabia as well as America. It won Honorable Mention from the Writer's Digest SP book awards. Evil Speaks, first book in the Warriors and Watchers Saga Series, a middle grade fantasy, was Finalist (4th place) in the Reader's Favorite 5-star awards (that's out of all of the 5-star books in that category for the year).
