FINALLY … the fourth book in the Trisha Carson mystery series will be available for purchase on March 7, 2025, at all the old familiar places. You can read it in paperback and eBook or listen to the audio book.


If you know me, you’re aware that I like to place my mysteries in or around water. This time is no different. Here’s a teaser to get you interested:


“A gruesome boating accident in the cold waters of San Francisco Bay kills a prominent financier training for an open water swim. Amateur sleuth Trisha Carson hunts down the killer and locates more than one person seeking deadly revenge.”


The evocative book cover was designed by Rich Burns, who has designed all the covers of the Trisha Carson series, with the help of Bullet Liongson.  Rich is a Tamalpais Aquatic Masters swim team pal.  We often exchanged ideas about design direction before or after swim workouts.



I have an unusual person to acknowledge for the idea behind Better Off Dead. It’s William Shakespeare. I tutor first-generation high school students in English and History. One day, an unmotivated student had to read Hamlet for his English class. I did my best to convince him that Shakespeare’s stories stood the test of time and could be easily updated to 2025. As we worked on modernizing the famous tragedy written about 1599, my head exploded. This was a perfect plot for Better Off Dead. Hamlet becomes Harrison in my version. The adaptation is a little loose, but it works.  So, thanks, sweet William.


I don’t have a pre-order date yet, but when I do, I’ll post it.  I’ll also tell you what it’s like to select a narrator who has to create voices for more than twenty characters.
