Here I sit at a police station being accused of murder!
Will wonders never cease? How could I have decapitated Gerry Delaney when he was a big, barrel-chested man and I’m a slim woman, barely registering five-feet six? That’s something the cop interrogating me can’t or won’t answer. Besides, why would I kill Gerry? I was trying to get him to buy tequila mixers for his dive bar. He hadn’t made up his mind yet and killing him wasn’t going to help.
I’m Hetty Carson, private investigator. Business was slow, so I started selling tequila mixers on the side in downtown L.A. Who knew it could lead to murder? I mean, Gerry’s murder was a tragedy, for sure, but I figured it didn’t have anything to do with me. Until someone figured it did, and now I have to investigate why if I want to stay alive.
This is the first book in The Hetty Carson Mystery Series. Hetty Carson was once one of the upperly mobile of the Los Angeles jet-set. Then her husband walked off with millions of embezzled funds and all of Hetty’s credibility. What began as a search for the ex has turned into a new career: detective.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I wanted to have a female private detective based in Los Angeles, but not in the trendiest part of L.A. and I chose the Garment District. It’s gritty and it suits the element of noir that I wanted in the novel. I wanted to make the detective a less-than-perfect character.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I wanted to write about a female private eye who is a bit gutsier than I am. But I didn't want to make her the hard-drinking stereotypical PI. And although she struggles to pay her rent now, she once had the finer things in life.
