The Amy Lynch Investigations
Research for a book I’m working on began in earnest today with a visit to a cattle auction here in Trenton Tennessee. A very mooooving experience!

Took some time off writing today to have tea with the queen. A pleasant way to spend the afternoon.


Tom and I bought a car yesterday in Jackson Tennessee. We needed an automatic since I cannot handle a standard. Greg Wood from WNWS talk radio, a local station, was broadcasting from the dealership when we were there. The salesman told him I was an author. He decided an interview was in order. We had a delightful chat about my mystery series, the Amy Lynch Investigations, and my upcoming new release, Deadly Diamonds. Such fun!


Here is the cover for my upcoming book. The manuscript went to the publisher yesterday. Look for Deadly Diamonds this summer.


It took a lot more than a Band-Aid or two, but my fractured skull and injured brain are nearly healed! I am happy to say I am now able to begin writing again. Look for Deadly Diamonds sometime late Spring 2021l

Today the doctor told me the residual effects from my concussion – lack of balance, issues concentrating, etc. – may be with me for months. Football players seem to heal a lot more quickly. I’m wondering if I should have become a football player rather than an author!

Home from the hospital! Fractured skull is healing. Brain bleeds have stopped. Brain swelling going down. Residual effects of concussion – nausea, headaches, balance issues – are likely to hang around for a while. The crazy thing about my accident is that in the book I am currently working on to come out next spring, Amy Lynch has an accident that results in a concussion. I now know that I got it all wrong! Hell of a way to do research. Oh well, back to the drawing board.


Episode #5 of The Amy Lynch Investigations Podcast has been uploaded.
Podcast Description:
I’ve learned two things in my life: 1) Few things in this world are as ordinary as they may seem and 2) even insurance can be interesting. This knowledge is what led me to create Amy Lynch. Amy is the brain-child of my late husband and myself. Savvy and sassy, and more than a little bit bold, Amy works as an investigator for New England Casualty & Indemnity. The job takes her to a variety of places – some exotic; some romantic; some seemingly banal, yet full of surprises – all places where I’ve had a few adventures of my own. These podcasts discuss the origins of Amy’s adventures, how they grew out of people and events in my own life, and how much fun I’ve had putting it all together.
The title is:Â Deep Secrets
Show Notes:
In Deep Secrets, I’ll tell you how to cope when your old flame is in a coma, and what you might do if you can’t make a living selling roses by the side of the road.

Show Notes:
In Direct Elimination, I’ll demonstrate how my favorite sport – fencing – can occasionally be deadly, and why you should never bury your troubles, or mistakes, too close to home.
