I met Leslie several years ago. Through social media, we have supported one another’s writing and celebrated our latest books. I’m so happy to announce that not only does she have a new book, but a new series: Tick Tock Dead is the first mystery in her Jenna Hart series.

When asked, “What Makes Me Happy?” quite a few things came to mind, but the one item that kept popping up was travel. Airplanes don’t excite me; they are more a dread than a joy any longer. Sometimes, though, they are a necessity and a convenience.

So we fly.

But we have also found a new mantra, The Journey Is The Destination because our perspective changed from just getting there to how we get there. We hope to buy a class B van and travel as much as we can. If we can’t get the van, we’ll head out by car and see this amazing country and listen to amazing music and be together and share the journey. That sounds like pure bliss.

Music has always been a part of my life. Playing an instrument or singing at the top of my voice in the car and just letting music flow through me. I love classical, rock, show/movie tunes, but most of all, now I love cinematic music. My absolute favorite is Enchantress by Thomas Bergersen. I call this type of music epic as it just ignites me. Makes me feel strong and able to tackle anything.

What are my profound beliefs? Wow, that is some question! 1) That we all have the same blood flowing through us. 2) That man’s inhumanity to man is a dark hole that will never go away, yet I yearn deeply for that hole to close. 3) That we should never stop questioning.

Tick Tock Dead blurb:
It’s Christmas and nestled in a valley between two towering Colorado mountain ranges, the old mining town turned uber-chic ski resort of Angelcroft is in a battle for its soul.
And now the battle has turned deadly.
Lifelong resident Jenna Hart is definitely not sleuth material. In fact, she’s a custom jeweler who loves working with diamonds and brilliant gems, and this is her busiest season ever. But now her one goal is to find out who murdered her friend.
Enlisting the help of those who know the town’s secrets — even as they seem to hide their own — Jenna digs deep only to find the dire warnings from handsome newcomer, police Detective Derek Tripp, that she could be risking her own life are prophetic.
Nevertheless, nothing and nobody will stop Jenna from finding the truth.
Tick Tock Dead is the first book in the Jenna Hart Mystery series. If you enjoy small-town mysteries populated with fascinating characters whose lives are far more complicated than what they seem on the surface, join Jenna for an adventure in the charming mountain town of Angelcroft.
