   I absolutely loved reading the Zoe Bentley series. The way her mind works and how well the details wove a story that had me rushing to read each chapter. From Martin’s hilarious attitude, Zoe’s clinical yet vulnerable persona to Tatum’s quiet yet strong support they were so real. I sincerely hope there are more books written in this series.

   You are a truly gifted writer. I found you on Audible and read your Zoe Bentley Series. Loved listening to them and looking forward to reading your Glenmore Park Mystery Series and the rest of your books. Thank you so much for bringing fun back to my life. 9 years ago I had a another hip replacement but didn’t wake up. A fat emboli bypassed being filtered by my heart and lungs. It went straight to my brain and caused a lot of damage. I woke up 5 days later as a 2 year old. No doctor knows anyone who has survived a fat emboli to the brain. They said my MRI looked like a paint gun had shot millions of little pieces of fat into my brain. After many years of every therapy possible I am able to listen and understand an audiobook. Since I can’t drive and loud sounds overwhelm me I never go out anywhere anymore. Long story short, authors like you are what keep people in my position from going nuts. Thank you so much for writing wonderful books. I really appreciate your hard work. Many thanks, Nancy McDermott
