From the Author

Writing Spiral, a new psychological suspense thriller took me back to the 1940s. I loved researching Shelby County politics, race relations, communities and gender expectations in preparation of writing the character's stories. Although Spiral is one of my first crime novels, I definitely plan to write more mystery and suspense thrillers. I love the way that mysteries keeps me guessing what's coming even as I develop the stories.

Spiral is set in Memphis, Tennessee during World War II. Spiral empowers children. In fact, it's a child who serves as a key to the mysteries that have been haunting Memphis for years. Events that take place in Spiral stick, in part, to real life history, making the story a part of great suspenseful historical fiction.

If you love pivotal historic events like WWII, you'll appreciate Spiral. A Tilson son serves in the war. As a jazz, gospel and blues music lover, you may feel at home during certain scenes in the novel. Also, the murder mystery is so compelling that, like other readers, you may want to keep the light on while you read parts of the book. Hang on as there are many twists and turns and deep mysteries in this mystery and suspense fiction. Enjoy the story that is Spiral!
