NEXT OF KIN, the third mystery featuring Texas PI Annie McIntyre, is out now. Hope y’all enjoy it. Wearing my mom’s vintage Luckenbach tee to mark the occasion (these pages are also full of classic country music references🤠)

“Allen conjures a suitably noirish mood from the opening pages, and renders even her secondary characters in three dimensions. With regional intrigue and plenty of satisfying sleuthing, this series merits a long run.” — @PublishersWkly on NEXT OF KIN
