What do you get when you mix a retired speech pathologist with a suspense writer? DEADLY COMMUNICATIONS, of course! The series features Maven Morris, a speech pathologist (another word for speech therapist) who has a knack for getting into trouble—deadly trouble. The second in the series, DEADLY INTENT, has just released. YAY!
After almost getting killed in Deadly Communications you would have thought Maven would have learned her lesson! But no—not her! This time trouble comes in the form of a small boy abandoned in a park—who can’t or won’t talk.
When her best friend begs her to help, Maven can’t say no. She ends up as the little boy’s foster mother… and that’s when all the trouble starts. Without giving away the plot, let me say Maven has a few surprises and shocks coming her way in Deadly Intent. I often get asked if my stories are based on real life. And they aren’t but… sometimes real life seeps into the stories anyway. Deadly Intent is a perfect example.
As the story resolves, you’ll find an eerie similarity to a real-life event that happened in Ohio that made headlines around the world. What event you might be wondering?Can’t tell you—it will ruin the story.
But let me tell you, I already had most of the story written before the headlines. And that’s all I’m going to say about it. It’s one of those times when real life is stranger than fiction!

About Deadly Intent
Everyone belongs somewhere. The key to happiness is recognizing that place when you get there.
Maven Morris can’t seem to find that place. A childless widow, she has no immediate family. Forced into a medical leave, she has no career. At loose ends, she hasn’t a clue what’s next for her.
Her neighbor, Paul Jordan knows what he wants—to move their friendship to a new level. Maven may not know what’s next, but she does know she has no interest in romance with anyone— not even her handsome neighbor.
When a young boy is abandoned in the city park, he touches her heart. In spite of his obvious special needs, she agrees to provide a temporary foster home for him. She has no idea the impact he will have on her life—or the danger he brings to her doorstep.
