Meet my favorite author and wonderful friend Jinx Schwartz. This lady knows how to be a Moon Goddess!

I have been reading her books for years and she has been a loyal fitness class student of mine for even longer. These mysteries are fun, light hearted, and so entertaining. There is a character in Just Add Salt who Jinx patterned after yours truly; a drill sergeant personal trainer named Pamela! I am very flattered and know Jinx will let me come along for her first appearance on Oprah!

Just Add Water!

Hetta Coffey is a globe-trotting civil engineer with attitude who is working on coming of age—a little late. Pushing forty and still single, Hetta is the epitome of the “b” word: bold, bossy, brassy, breezy, and brash.

After leaving a life-long swath of failed multi-national affairs in her jet stream, it’s no wonder Hetta prefers living with her dog, RJ. But old habits die hard, and trolling for triceps is Hetta’s hobby.

Plying the San Francisco Bay waterfront in search of Saturday brunch, Hetta’s attention is snagged by a parade of passing yachts—especially their predominantly male skippers—and experiences a champagne-induced epiphany: if she had a boat, she could get a man.

In hopes a floating Valhalla will overcome an all-time low-water mark in her life, Hetta buys her dream boat in spite of a spectacular ignorance of all things nautical. But a shadowy stalker, an inconvenient body, and Hetta’s own self-destructive foibles imperil not only her new life, but a newly-found romance.

Hetta Coffey brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “sink or swim.”

Just Add  Water has won

the 2007 EPPIE AWARD as Best Mystery!

Just Add Salt!

(Sequel to Just Add Water)

Hetta Coffey, a globe-trotting engineer with attitude, a penchant for trouble, and a yacht, is back, and this time she's steering us into hot Mexican waters.

Miffed that vacation plans with her chronically absent boyfriend, Jenks Jenkins, have gone awry, she accepts a job in Baja. So what if she and her friend, Jan, are spectacularly unqualified to take her yacht on a thousand mile cruise in the eastern Pacific Ocean during hurricane season? Hiring a handsome, if somewhat fishy, captain for the trip might keep them off the rocks, but probably won't do the same for her future with Jenks. Meanwhile, a little eye candy on board can't be all bad.

Hetta's unmanageable independence impels her to tackle the very profitable, if environmentally and politically incorrect project south of the border. True to form, her irreverent nature and disregard for danger soon swamps her in a sea of inconvenient bodies, illegal aliens, a pesky whale, and a menacing Mexican machinator.

And her without her usual arsenal of firepower.

Set sail for Baja Mexico's Magdalena Bay as Hetta Coffey leads us once more into a morass of intrigue that will keep you laughing, breathless, and wanting more. To quote Lord Byron, Hetta would much rather "sink beneath the shock than moulder piecemeal on the rock."
