Painted Love

Love is in the air in the quiet Los Angeles County city of Vista Beach, home of computer programmer and decorative-painting enthusiast, Aurora (Rory) Anderson.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, residents are training for the annual Love Run and expressing their undying affection for each other by attaching love locks to the pier railings. But a string of bank robberies is ruining the romantic vibe.

While Rory helps friends prepare for a Valentine’s Day wedding, a body is found and the groom is implicated in the murder. Convinced of his innocence, Rory puts her heart into the investigation. Can she identify the killer before someone else encounters their own brush with death?

Me, age 2

Thanks for stopping by. I’m a writer and avid reader. Books have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I read pretty much everything: fiction, non-fiction, mysteries, science fiction, historical fiction, biographies. I’ve even been known to voluntarily pick up a textbook or two. But mysteries are my passion. Here you can find out about me or my books and short stories.
