First of all, I’m so excited to tell you that my 1st novel, Murder On The Boulevard is available via Ebook on Amazon.com! If you want to purchase it, please click HERE. You can also click the link on my sidebar. The paperback version will be available in about a week on the same site, but for now, you can upload to any type of reader. The cover art was done by fashion illustrator Inslee Haynes and is so gorgeous! I am so proud of the final result and hope you love it.
I’ve been working on the novel for the past two years and would have never even known where to start if it wasn’t for my friend Nicolette Fischer of Simple Colette and her advice to try NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). It’s been a long, fun, extremely challenging process. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my appreciation for all things vintage, which relates to today’s post…but I’ll get to that in a minute.
Thank you all for your ongoing support with my novel. I can’t believe how many great people I’ve met through blogging and am constantly reminded of the generosity and kindness of others through it. Hope you love Murder On The Boulevard!

I too adore 50’s style, something so chic and mysterious about the dresses from that era.
