🎙️A Weekly Cozy Mystery Serial (Only for Subscribers!)

What do you get when you mix Gilmore Girls charm, Murder She Wrote sleuthing, and a pink-striped Airstream trailer full of secrets?

You get Murder, Mystery, & Mom—my brand-new, subscriber-only weekly cozy mystery serial, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you!

📚 How It Works

Think of this project like a cozy mystery TV show in your inbox.

Each Wednesday, you’ll get a brand-new episode (aka chapter) of our first season (aka book), delivered straight to your inbox.
It’s completely free for subscribers.
You can catch up anytime here on the blog (episodes stay live until the end of the season).
Once the season wraps, I’ll edit and publish the full-length novel for all the usual book retailers.

This is your chance to read the story as it unfolds—chapter by chapter, week by week—and be part of the adventure from the very beginning.

🕵️‍♀️ Season One: The Whispering Pines Murder

The debut season kicks off with a cold case, a quirky small town, and one very suspicious RV park in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

Mother-daughter podcasting duo Mattie McDonald and Patsy Steffanelli roll into Timber Ridge RV Park in their vintage pink-striped Airstream, The Clue Cruiser, ready to uncover the truth about a 15-year-old cold case.

There’s just one problem: the charming RV park manager might also be up to no good… and he just asked Mattie out on a date.

👩‍👧 Meet the Sleuths

✨ Mattie McDonald – Elegant, brilliant, and totally unbothered by danger. Mattie is a retired CIA analyst who’s traded in her tactical briefcase for a podcast microphone. And she’s very good at reading people.

✨ Patsy Steffanelli – Our narrator and Mattie’s daughter. She’s funny, flustered, and a whole lot more nervous about chasing down killers in small-town diners. But she’s got a big heart, a sharp mind, and a growing talent for amateur sleuthing.

✨ Goldilocks – A wildly expressive goldendoodle with a nose for trouble (and ham sandwiches).

🛻 The Clue Cruiser – A cozy Airstream turned podcast studio and traveling crime-solving HQ.

💖 The Vintage Pink Ford Bronco – Because if you’re going to chase down leads, you might as well do it in style.

💌 Why a Serial?

This project is more than just a book—it’s an experience. I wanted to create something fun, engaging, and community-driven. A reason to look forward to Wednesdays. A little cozy escape to brighten your week.

Plus, serial storytelling gives us time to breathe, to speculate, and to savor each twist. You’ll laugh, gasp, and maybe even shout at your inbox. And I’ll be right here cheering you on the whole way.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s solve a murder—together.
