Murder by Yew is my first published full-length novel and is situated in Rhode Island because that’s
where it needed to take place. When I began to research natural poisons, I started to realize how many
highly toxic plants and bushes surrounded the homes where I grew up. Couple my new-found knowledge with
a mother who loves concocting herb spreads to serve to friends and relatives and I just couldn’t resist.

My
short story “Mistwillow Crime Wave” was a winner in the 2007 Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers contest for the anthology
Tales from Mistwillow. The story is based on a phenomenon that plagues police departments everywhere,
large or small—that of people confessing to crimes they didn’t commit. One of the more astounding
examples of this is the man who confessed to being Jack the Ripper. The police wasted no time in finding
the man was only two years old at the time of those infamous deeds. Less fortunate was the sailor who was
hanged for starting a disastrous fire in Chicago, although it was determined that he had been at sea during the time in question.
