FAQs Here!

I know you have questions, and I’m happy to help! Here are a few answers to make finding and enjoying your next read a little easier.

Why buy direct?

Buying from my store is a wonderful way to support me and the stories you love. You’re buying directly from the author, and helping me keep writing your next favorite read!

Your digital books are delivered through my trusted delivery partner, BookFunnel, with help available if you need a hand getting them onto your reading device, so everything is handled by people who know exactly how to assist you ( while I stick to writing mysteries and leave the technical mysteries to them. You're welcome!).

Thank you for choosing to shop here, for supporting me and my work and making my books a part of your life. It means so much to me!

How will I receive my digital books?

As stated above, digital book delivery is handled through BookFunnel. After your purchase, look for an email with your download link and instructions for accessing your book.

What if I can’t find my book delivery email?

Check your spam, junk, and promotions folders first, and make sure you’re checking the email address you used at checkout. If you still can’t find it, visit BookFunnel’s reader help page for assistance.

Can I get help downloading or reading my book?

Absolutely! BookFunnel provides reader support to help you download your book and get it onto your preferred reading device. Follow the help link in your delivery email to get started.

Why don't you offer refunds on ebooks?

Due to the digital and instantly consumable nature of ebooks, I am unable to process refunds or exchanges after purchase. If you experience any technical issues opening your file, please contact BookFunnel’s reader help page for assistance. THANK YOU for supporting an indie author!

Will you be adding physical books like paperbacks?

I will! But I'm focusing on getting my whole digital list up on the store at the moment. As soon as that is done, I'll be adding direct links to my print-on-demand sites for those who love to hold their read in their hands.

What about audiobooks?

I'm working on that, too, so stay tuned!

You have a LOT of books. Where should I start with your list?

If you love contemporary cozies, start with Bed and Breakfast and Murder, book one of the Fiona Fleming Cozy Mysteries. If paranormal cozies are you favorite, go hang out with Georgia Drake and her Hades Hound, Benjamin, in Dead Even, book one of the Whitewitch Island Paranormal Cozies.

Otherwise, check out each series description and dive into whoever appeals to you!

Should I start at book one of each series, or can I read ahead?

If you’re new to a series, I recommend starting with book one so you can meet the characters and follow their stories from the beginning. The voices tend to love not only giving a mystery to solve, but often add a long-tail investigation that spans multiple books, sometimes even the whole series.

Will more books be added to the store?

Yes! I’m adding my digital catalog one series at a time. If you don’t see a favorite yet, check back as the shelves fill up.
