Announcing that Seas the Day, book one in my A Seafood Caper Mystery series, will soon be reissued as an author edition under my imprint. Watch for the pending release in my newsletter!

I’m pleased to announce that the first A Magic Candle Mystery, SNUFFED OUT, written as Valona Jones, had a successful launch in January 2023. Crooked Lane contracted book two of the series, IN THE WICK OF TIME, and that book will release October 2023.

There’s a new kid in town: VALONA JONES. She’s sassy and to the point. Valona Jones tells it like it is. She writes paranormal cozies, particularly The Book and Candle Shop Mysteries for Crooked Lane Publishing. Book 1 of the series, SNUFFED OUT, is tentatively scheduled for a January 2023 release. Book 2 is in the works, and there’s every hope Book 3 will be along soon thereafter. More news as it breaks… Stay tuned to be part of this exciting new adventure!

The Great Escapes Virtual Book Tour for SPAWNING SUSPICION is scheduled and ready for launch!
