Welcome friends, I am glad you are here!

Something has been found in the dune grass...

In A Special Kind of Heartache, the second installment of The Island Mysteries, the quiet rhythms of Mongin Island are once again interrupted by something far more troubling than tide shifts and ferry schedules.

​

As summer fades in the Lowcountry and the island settles into slower days, tensions begin to rise. Familiar faces grow guarded. And when events take a dark turn, it becomes clear that someone on Mongin Island has been keeping secrets.

​

Rooted in the charm of the South Carolina coast, and inspired by real Lowcountry locations like Daufuskie Island and Hilton Head, this cozy mystery blends small-town community, emotional depth, and immersive setting with a compelling amateur sleuth at its center.

​

Ideal for readers who enjoy:

• Coastal mystery novels

• Southern cozy mystery series

• Character-driven suspense without graphic content

• Book club–friendly mystery fiction
   

Continue the series and return to the island where every dock, café, and marsh path holds a story.
