I realize it's been quite some time since my last newsletter. Those of you who read my previous letter are aware that my husband of 34 years passed away. The journey through grief was challenging, and I deeply desired to share my experience, especially the painful moments when Andy repeatedly pleaded with me to end his suffering. I yearned to assist him, but I simply couldn't.
One dreadful morning, a year or so after his death, and another nightmare hearing his pleas that I kill him, I pondered, "What if I had?" It was then that the idea for River of Mercy was born. Many of you are also aware that in the 3.5 years since his passing, I've made considerable progress in my healing journey. I've been fortunate enough to find love once more and married John Carter, a remarkable man and doctor, on November 4 of last year. We were enamored back in 1985 and, whether by fate or divine intervention, we managed to reconnect. I yearned to weave our love story into my new book, so I decided to portray John as the attorney representing Santina in her murder trial.
I'm thrilled to announce that River of Mercy will be released on June 18. I hope you'll read it and witness firsthand how life and art are often intertwined.

Detective Winston Radhauser is called in the middle of the night to Ashland Hospital. Ten days ago, Justin Patterson, a local pediatrician, suffered a devastating brain bleed that left him paralyzed and begging for release.
When Patterson is found dead in his hospital bed, the staff assumes it was a natural death. But the victim’s son, Robbie, accuses his stepmother, Santina, of murder. Everything inside Radhauser believes she’s innocent, but when DNA supports Robbie’s claim, Radhauser is forced to arrest the woman he found lying in her husband’s hospital bed, curled around his dead body.
Phillip Mitchell, world-renowned criminal defense attorney, hears of Santina’s arrest and rushes from Tucson to Oregon. He’s driven by a love that never waned, and a belief there was no way Santina could murder anyone.
National news has the country divided. Was it a mercy killing? Or was it murder? How do we put down our suffering animals with more dignity than our fellow humans? Or is God the only one who decides when life ends?
Against a ticking clock and an unyielding DA, Radhauser and Mitchell race to expose hidden truths that could save Santina from a lethal injection.
