Love legal suspense? I think you’re going to LOVE What We Hide, the first novel in the Tupelo Grove series set in the Gulf Shores area near my Pelican Harbor series. It’s hitting stores July 2, 2024.
Rick Acker is a good friend and a Supervising Deputy Attorney in the CA Department of Justice and he’s an awesome writer. We have been having so much fun co-writing, and we can’t wait to share this first novel with you! Our styles are so similar I don’t think you’ll be able to tell which of us wrote which scenes! Here’s a little about the novel:
Family secrets. Historical wrongs. And the truths that refuse to stay buried.
Savannah Webster is trying to find her way forward. She and her husband, Hez, have been separated since tragedy tore them apart and he began numbing his grief and guilt with alcohol. She returned to Tupelo Grove University, which her family helped found over a century ago, to teach history.
When Hez turns up in her classroom asking for a second chance, she rejects the idea immediately. But twenty-four hours later she’s under suspicion for murder, and since Hez is the best attorney she knows, she reluctantly asks him for help. They suspect the murder is tied to someone selling off the university’s pre-Columbian artifacts, but the secrets go much deeper than they realize.
The only hope they’ve got is each other, and they’re going to have to put their past behind them if they’re going to stay alive long enough to uncover all that’s hidden.
I really enjoyed What WeHide. What is the next one and what wll it be ? Joyce Leonard I have all your books.

So glad to hear that there will be a sequel to “What We Hide”. It was such an amazing book … and then the end. WOW! That really threw me for a loop. Love your books.

You have always been one of my favorite writers, and this new book is no exception!! I just saw there will be two new books, but I have to wait. Now I remember why I never read your new books until they all come out!🤣 Thank you for being such a fantastic writer!
I’m so glad you loved it! there are a lot of secrets yet to come out. 🙂
I love your books. This was an incredible read. I am a part of a bookclub at my local church Oakcliff Bible Fellowship Church in Dallas Texas. I would love to write about my own life.I grew up in an abused environment. I wish I knew where to start. Thank you for being such an awesome writer! May the Lord continue to bless you and your family. Sincerely, Gwenette Jefferson
