Writes:
Hi everyone! I normally write romance but have just started a NEW medieval murder mystery series called Harlowe & Fitch Historical Mysteries. My latest release is MURDER ON ROTTEN ROW, Book 2. Lady Vivienne Harlowe is determined to find justice for those who have lost a loved one since her parents’ murders seven years ago have yet to be solved. Now, with her bloodhound, Grunt, she helps her friend since childhood, Sheriff Zachariah Fitch to solve murders and hunt down killers so those families of the deceased can find peace of mind.
When Vivienne’s dog discovers a corpse behind the tavern in the bad part of town, the hunt is on to find the killer before he or she strikes again. But it’s not easy with a rat catcher called the Pied Piper terrorizing people and even frightening the children. While this is not a romance, you’ll still find sexual attraction between Vivienne and Zachariah, even though the focus of the stories all revolve around the current murders.
About:
I am a bestselling, award winning author of over 100 books and counting. I have written mainly medieval romance, but also have fantasy and paranormal romance, as well as western and even small town contemporary. I live in the suburbs of Chicago but am a country girl at heart. In the summers I sit in my outdoor office, or should I say writing hammock, in my secret garden to get inspired by nature to create my next novel. You will often find my characters or settings inspired by people I know or places in my own life.
My ideal reader match likes:
- strong heroines with minds of their own who sometimes can even wield a sword
- alpha males who are usually rough around the edges and have a somewhat tortured past
- to laugh – I can’t help but add humor to all my books since life is too short not to laugh
- big plots, lots of suspense and action (you’ll never be bored with my stories)
- family sagas with stories written about all the family members
- to see characters from other series show up in other books as well
What to expect if we're compatible:
- Edge of your seat stories that will make you want to keep reading instead of doing housework
- Lots of fun, as well as suspense and guessing who-done-it
- Animals and children always show up in my books
- Be prepared to laugh aloud as well as cry at times, but it will be a happy cry, I promise
- You will want to read the mystery series in order, so no surprises are ruined, but it is not required since each book stands on its own
- You will most likely want to go back and read the romance series about the past characters that make appearances in these books
- You’ll surely want to tell all your friends about the Harlowe & Fitch Historical Mystery Series since there are historical mysteries out there but not a lot that take place during medieval times
Harlowe & Fitch Historical Mystery #2

Murder, Rats, and danger run rampant on Rotten Row with a rat-catcher called the Pied Piper terrorizing the town!
A woman is found dead in an alley of the bad part of town called Rotten Row. She's thought to have been bludgeoned to death, but as Lady Vivienne Harlowe and Sheriff Zachariah Fitch investigate the crime, it is soon realized that she was poisoned.
Lurking in the shadows of this filthy, disgusting part of town is the murderer, watching their every move. Because of a severe rat infestation on Rotten Row, a rat-catcher has been hired and the townsfolk refer to him as none other than the Pied Piper. With a young lad to assist him, the Pied Piper, a black cat with multi-colored eyes, and two rat-hunting ferrets have managed to terrorize just about everyone, especially the children.
With Lady Vivienne's bloodhound, Grunt, trying to sniff out the murderer's trail, the search is on to find the killer before he strikes again. But with no definite suspects, motives, or clues, the sleuths find it challenging to move forward with the investigation. Then the unthinkable happens one night on Rotten Row, and Vivienne and Zachariah need to take the investigation to a new height when the children of the town end up in grave danger. Every minute that passes by without answers could be the difference between life and death.
A thrilling romp through medieval times, the Harlowe & Fitch Historical Murder Mysteries can be enjoyed by fans of murder mysteries through the ages, such as the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries and Miss Scarlett and the Duke.
