Female Private Investigator Series in the Works

I am writing the first book in a series about a female private investigator which I know my readers will enjoy. She's self-reliant, smart, a little bit vulnerable, and once she's on a case, unable to stop until she gets it solved.  

It is very enjoyable to be able to create a whole set of characters who will be around for many books to come. You can get to know them, as I am doing writing about them. The series  is being written under the name CK Houghton, a name I use for my work in fiction. I am looking forward to having the first book published next year. Check back for more information on my latest venture!

Enjoy reading this sweet short story, Remember, Hetty?  because we all need someone to remember the past with us.

No Woman Diets Alone - There's Always a Man Behind Her Eating a Doughnut is number 4 in the top 10 hot new releases sold in the Kindle Store! Many, many thanks to all!

The Writers Review says: "A savvy, sexy, sophisticated fun read! Houghton is fantastic at writing relationship humor. She has written a book that takes a sassy, deliciously funny look at marriage and relationships. Very appealing to readers and highly recommended."
