A longtime fan of witty sleuths, clever puzzles, and small-town charm, Lyla writes with a mix of heart, humor, and murder-perfect for fans of character-driven cozies with a dash of romance and a sprinkle of sawdust. Her books are filled with colorful townsfolk, local legends, and enough red herrings to keep readers guessing until the very end. When she's not writing, Lyla enjoys road trips through the Blue Ridge Mountains, drinking endless cups of coffee or tea, and daydreaming about quirky inns she'd one day like to renovate-minus the dead bodies, of course.
