Overview: Marje spent her formative years in Yonkers, New York. Lots of weekends, she stayed at her cousin’s house in Hastings. With minimal adult supervision, she and Lynda explored Hillside Woods, watched double features at the adorable movie house, or went sledding down the wrong hills, resulting in minor injuries. She developed her lifelong fear and loathing of leeches in Hastings’s creeks.
She moved to St. Louis for college and has been there fifty years now. But the Northeast and the little village of Hastings-on- Hudson has always held a special place in her heart.
Now, a retired nurse, and “Mimi” with time to reflect, and still happily married to the St. Louis boy who refused to move, she is writing these small books as an homage to her favorite corner of the universe.

An Elegant Death in Hastings (#1)
At fifty-three, Bonnie revels in her ‘second act.’ She quit her life in St. Louis, moved back to Hastings on Hudson, opened a café with her best friend Ruth, and became a reluctant multimillionaire. After twenty-five soul-sucking years as a social worker, Bonnie embraces family fun and joy. Ruth and her brilliant daughter are as much her family as the elderly aunts who delight in all mischief-related things.
Her friend Liliana tells Bonnie she has something important to discuss and then is found dead. Bonnie does not doubt that her friend’s new, verbally abusive jerk of a husband, Hank, is to blame.
The police don’t think so.
Bonnie refuses to color inside the lines anymore. Too many times in her old life, rule-following led to injustice.
This time, she’s all in, digging, conniving, and unearthing buried secrets. She’s putting people on edge, and edgy people are volatile. How far will she go to make Hank pay?
River’s Revenge in Hastings (#2)
Bonnie is settling into her Second Act. This new phase includes a budding romance with a handsome professor. Their first big date, an autumn boat ride on the Hudson River, ends with the discovery of a body floating in the water.
Can Bonnie stay out of it this time?
Her new waitress calls her in a panic because the dead guy is her ex, and the police have questions.
Bonnie, her best friend Ruth, and Bonnie’s eighty-five-year-old aunts each use their particular skill set to dive into a side of Hastings they haven’t seen before.
Along the way, they find puppies and lose a boat.
Uncovering the truth will cost them. Is the price too high?
