A murdered singer, the women who must identify the killer, and the rock n' roll cruise ship where the deadly showdown takes place.
Arrested for domestic violence and kicked out of his indie rock group, Dante surprises his bandmates when he unexpectedly shows up for practice. But when Dante is murdered, no one is more surprised than the band's tour wives—Maggie, Nicole, and Lala—who KNOW the "killer"—Dante's timid girlfriend, Karina—definitely didn't do it.
Are their suspicions right? Dangerous clues and narrow escapes say they are, and when the band accepts a gig aboard Rage on the Waves, a weeklong rock n' roll cruise, Maggie, Nicole, and Lala must pull together to uncover the suspect's true identity.
If the wives don't find the killer in time—and the reason Karina is willing to go to prison for them—the murderer will strike again, this time silencing the music for good.

My dissertation! A heavy subject but an important one.
I analyzed Facebook comments for the presence of rape myths, or false ideas about sexual assault. In over 18,000 comments, 2,023 contained rape myths, showing a rate of 11.05%.
Told in an edgy voice, the fictional novel Clay-Stained Memories explores trauma and its life-long consequences. Difficult issues such as sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and addiction are discussed frankly and with realism, allowing readers to walk in a victim’s shoes.
