Author Linda Lovely
Welcome!
I hope you have half as much fun reading my mysteries and suspense novels as I have researching and writing them. Amazing how much better I sleep after finding a cool way to disappear villains who should never get away.
I try to deliver thrills while ensuring justice is served & laughter's plentiful. My smart heroines & heroes are imperfect, but well-intentioned--just like the folks who inspire me.
I love reading, a passion I hope you share.

What is happening beyond the Stillwater Cove gates?
After the posh Lowcountry HOA’s new board fires Ted Welch’s HOA management company, it doubles the security force. Now guards strictly control who enters the community and electronically track even invited guests.
Kylee Kane gives these changes little thought until Maury, a friend and Stillwater resident, dies in a perplexing golfcart crash. Maury’s widow swears his death is no accident—it’s murder. Kylee vows to uncover the truth. When Maury’s personal effects are returned, they include the feather of an endangered South American parrot. The mystery deepens.
The killer makes his own vow—Kylee won’t be alive for her planned Christmas Eve wedding.
