ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 17, 2025

Another vision. Another crime. And the millions behind it.

Reluctant and (unfortunately) well-known psychic Maisey Friedman is in dire need of a break—a little rest and relaxation. Going on a girls’ trips for the weekend will help her decompress and forget all the turmoil she’s been embroiled in. After all, fancy dresses, Derby hats, and mint juleps with her friends can cure the blues.

But when she mistakenly places the wrong flowy hat on her head, Maisey regrets all of her weekend frivolity. Seeing a middle school teacher being thrown from a bridge to her death catapults Maisey and her husband, Aaron, into yet another murder investigation. This time, the key players just might be a little too powerful for Maisey and Aaron. A well-connected and corrupt murderer is one enemy the Friedmans don’t want to tangle with. Can they find justice for the innocent teacher before time runs out?

Searching for the person who took the life of Hazel Puckett, Maisey and Aaron discover the killer may be closer than they could have ever imagined,and our heroine is in the line of fire.

The world building continues to focus on Maisey’s ability to ‘see’ the last moments of death when wearing an item of clothing from the recently deceased but having struggled with each murder, Maisey swore off buying second hand clothing, only to discover she grabbed the wrong hat at a derby luncheon.

There are no $ex scenes-everything is implied.

YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON is another story of murder and mystery, secrets and lies, greed and obsession, family and love. The novella length, fast paced premise is dramatic and gritty; the romance is subtle; the characters are dynamic. The story line fast forwards approximately one year.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 6, 2025

A dangerous killer, a psychic, and the coat that has all the answers …

Maisey and Aaron Friedman (Justice for Maisey) are enjoying married life and their new blended family. But everything changes after the social worker’s simple trip to a consignment shop where she finally purchases a coat she’s had her eye on.

Despite Aaron deeming the coat “ugly,” Maisey still loves the garment, and she’s sure he’ll love it too when she models it for him. But when she wakes up on the floor with her deputy sheriff husband standing over her, concern in his eyes, Maisey knows something is terribly wrong. The coat’s sad origin reveals an unsolved slaying, and without the victim to help them, the Friedmans begin their attempts to solve the case using the secrets the coat reveals in Maisey’s psychic visions as their only clues.

But as they delve deeper into the mysteries of the coat, the murderer refuses to allow them to uncover the truth. Suddenly, Maisey’s security is in question, leaving Aaron and his crew of hometown heroes to strategize ways of keeping her safe while unearthing the identity of the culprit. The coat comes with answers, but will those answers be the catalyst that puts them all in danger?
