fixing to die

The latest novel in the Josie Marcus Mystery Shopper series is out! It's called Fixing to Die and I illustrated the cover. While fixing up their house, Josie and her husband get drawn into a murder who-dun-it. It's a cozy mystery that's been getting very high reviews. To order go to Amazon.

texting and icy pavement don't mix!

Here is this month's embarrassing moments illo I did for M Magazine. A girl was texting her best friend about a conversation she just had with her crush when she slipped on a patch of black ice. It turned out that her crush was right behind her and saw the whole thing, when he helped her up he picked up her phone and saw what she had typed!

friend of mine

This is the painting I did to replace my sold piece in the Small Treasures gallery show. It's called "Friend of Mine" and it was sold before it even made it to the wall! Thanks to Nancy (shown) for giving it a good home!

bookplates!

My painted plate will be up for auction this Saturday at the Paso Robles Library Foundation's BookPlates! event (it's the red one right above the logo on this flyer).

Here's a look at the painting I did for the "Small Treasures" show that opened this past Wednesday night in Paso Robles. It's called "Depths" and was sold on Thursday! This was a fun departure from my usual broken color painting style.
