Seffi Wardwell Mysteries
Retired science teacher Seffi Wardwell is making herself a
new home on the Maine coast. She has a flower garden to keep up to the stiff
local standards, a tough job ahead breaking down the locals’ suspicion of
outsiders and making friends—and a distressing tendency to find herself in the
middle of murder investigations.
Book 1: A Coastal Corpse
A corpse among the dahlias is no way to start your day.
When a local pariah is killed in a scenic Maine village, no
one seems to care except outsider Seffi Wardwell. Seffi brings her good heart
and decades of experience teaching science to the problem in a race against
indifference on one side and murder on the other.

The choices Helicity makes before,...

It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds (and come on, we're all insecure in some way)! Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and connect with your fellow writers - aim for a dozen new people each time - and return comments. This group is all about connecting! Be sure to link to the ...
