Author has written 28 stories for Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and Veronica Mars.

Just a note to get my profile back in shape since it seems Critics United spam hijacked it. I do NOT and have NOT ever supported Critics United

As I had previously noted, I am listing the Francine/Beaman stories here in chronological order and I recommend reading them in that order or they will make little sense to you.

First Date Follies

Saturday Night Special

Sunday Drivers

Monday Morning Quarterback

Terrible Twosday

Black Friday

I want to add a special note of thanks to the talented Sarah Spencer for creating the artwork that appears as book covers on my SMK stories.
