Life is messy and I try to reflect that in my stories while still leaving readers with a feeling of hope. I want them to see themselves and the people they know in my characters.

You could say writing is in my genes. My paternal grandmother was a formidable diarist; my father was a journalist and poet; my sister and cousin are both published authors; even my son has shown a talent for putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) to tell awesome stories. So, it came as no surprise to anyone when I returned to my love of fiction after more than 20 years in the world of corporate communications–although some might argue there was plenty of opportunity for fiction-writing there, too.

A fan of many genres, I find it hard to stay within the publishing industry’s prescribed boxes. Whether it’s historical mystery or women’s fiction, my greatest joy is telling memorable stories with compelling characters.

Desperate to prove herself, just how far will she go to get the story?

1948: Kingston, Canada—When the man who replaced her on the Kingston Tribune’s city beat, asks for help with a story about corruption at City Hall, reporter Charley Hall grudgingly agrees. At the very least, she hopes it will prove to her editor she’s a serious reporter.

But when a city official turns up dead at the site of a controversial land deal and her co-worker’s infant son is kidnapped, a devastated Charley fears her reporting may have been the catalyst.

All bets are off as everyone falls under suspicion, and Charley faces her darkest days since the war when her husband went MIA.

Buy Odds on Murder to see if it’s the jackpot or snake eyes for Charley!

It looked like another fluff piece… until a private showing becomes a very personal murder.

1949: Kingston, Canada—Reporter Charley Hall longs to keep her independence. Juggling expectations to remarry and have children with her demotion to the women’s page, the thirty-year-old widow struggles to nab stories that interest her. But the home art exhibition she’s covering turns explosive when two different gangs of thieves pilfer the paintings, leaving one of them dead at the scene.

Joining forces with sometimes-rival PI Mark Spadina, the former city-beat journalist finds a motive for stealing an unknown artist’s work elusive. But when the painter’s dark secret comes to light, Charley discovers there’s much more at stake than armed robbery.

Can this relentless newshound crack the case in time for the evening edition?

Suddenly, all orders are belayed as Matt mounts a one-man rescue, risking both of their careers and the only home he has ever known.","bookInternalIdentifier":"1601544014","bookReviews":[],"useCustomRetailers":false,"buyButtons":[{"id":"865368","type":"AMAZON","label":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/1601544014","customUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/1601544014","isInactive":null}],"releaseDate":"2009-02-12","createdAt":"2025-05-27T12:55:02.988Z","updatedAt":"2025-05-30T16:31:44.116Z","publishedAt":"2025-05-30T16:31:44.342Z","bookSlug":"soldier-for-love-brenda-gayle","isPreOrder":false},{"id":"vcc44y65s8gjgaru8ym37t1z","isInactive":true,"bookEan":"1738743411","bookImages":[{"id":"35878","src":"https://d1an6hb2j63rg7.cloudfront.net/306c6366_0b5a_422c_aa64_61117b1d14a9_a807fb0a3f.jpeg"}],"bookTitle":"A Diagnosis of Murder: Large Print (A Charley Hall Mystery LARGE PRINT)","bookDescription":"$2d","bookInternalIdentifier":"1738743411","bookReviews":[],"useCustomRetailers":false,"buyButtons":[{"id":"865383","type":"AMAZON","label":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/1738743411","isInactive":null},{"id":"865384","type":"TERTULIA","label":"Tertulia","url":"https://tertulia.com/book/9781738743414","isInactive":null},{"id":"865385","type":"BARNES_AND_NOBLE","label":"Barnes and Noble","url":"https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/9781738743414","isInactive":null},{"id":"865386","type":"BOOKSHOP","label":"Bookshop","url":"https://bookshop.org/book/9781738743414","isInactive":null}],"availability":"In Stock","releaseDate":"2022-10-19","createdAt":"2025-05-27T12:55:02.118Z","updatedAt":"2025-05-30T16:31:46.017Z","publishedAt":"2025-05-30T16:31:46.059Z","bookSlug":"a-diagnosis-of-murder-large-print-a-charley-hall-mystery-large-print-brenda-gayle","isPreOrder":false},{"id":"dxk5jcuim048lku6k1p0hvvz","isInactive":true,"bookEan":"1777582490","bookImages":[{"id":"35881","src":"https://d1an6hb2j63rg7.cloudfront.net/bceda151_26a4_4b2f_a4a2_b951ef189eca_c9d0869397.jpeg"}],"bookTitle":"A Shot of Murder: Large Print (A Charley Hall Mystery LARGE PRINT)","bookDescription":"$2e","bookInternalIdentifier":"1777582490","bookReviews":[],"useCustomRetailers":false,"buyButtons":[{"id":"865391","type":"AMAZON","label":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/1777582490","isInactive":null},{"id":"865392","type":"TERTULIA","label":"Tertulia","url":"https://tertulia.com/book/9781777582494","isInactive":null},{"id":"865393","type":"BARNES_AND_NOBLE","label":"Barnes and Noble","url":"https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/9781777582494","isInactive":null},{"id":"865394","type":"BOOKSHOP","label":"Bookshop","url":"https://bookshop.org/book/9781777582494","isInactive":null}],"availability":"In Stock","releaseDate":"2022-10-19","createdAt":"2025-05-27T12:55:02.277Z","updatedAt":"2025-05-30T16:31:48.851Z","publishedAt":"2025-05-30T16:31:49.025Z","bookSlug":"a-shot-of-murder-large-print-a-charley-hall-mystery-large-print-brenda-gayle","isPreOrder":false},{"id":"p9nfrtk2wsj9o2aaik6r10jg","isInactive":true,"bookEan":"1999018532","bookImages":[{"id":"35883","src":"https://d1an6hb2j63rg7.cloudfront.net/709203e2_13ee_40b7_8187_870715acabac_4cdc7d5ab3.jpeg"}],"bookTitle":"The Forsaken Heart (Heart's Desire Romantic Suspense)","bookDescription":"Born in friendship, forged by passion, tested in danger, but can their love survive a heart forsaken?When Anna Graham marries Callum Hart, she’ll get both the man she loves and her uncles’ agreement to take over the family ranch.
