Hello and welcome to my website. I’m Michele Drier, and I hope you wander around in here, see something that intrigues you and maybe drop a comment on my blog.

I tend to write about strong women who find themselves in rather precarious situations they couldn’t have predicted. What happens when everything you thought you knew about yourself, and the world, becomes…a little dated, a little irrelevant, a little baffling?

We all think we know how we would react in a crisis, but do we?

The women I write about discover what they are made of, try to patch the parts that need fixing and ultimately embrace the kinds of changes they initially resisted.

But it does not happen overnight! You know the old saying: What you resist, persists!

When Roz Duke receives an invitation to speak on stained glass at a medieval crafts conference in Paris, she’s torn about accepting. Then her friend Liam spots the invitation and conjures up a summer touring France, a lure Roz can’t resist.

Before the conference officially kicks off, though, the body of a man, impaled on a large shard of ruby red stained glass, stops her. Once again, she’s the finder of dead bodies. Who is the dead man? And why her? One of the first police officers on the site is a beautiful French Surete inspector, Celie Lejeune, who instantly homes in on Liam.


Set against the vineyards and wineries of Burgundy, Roz, Liam and her rescue greyhound Tut, learn about making stained glass, wine and medieval crafts, but another body turns up and a couple of French cathedrals burn down. Arson?


Roz and Liam’s idyllic French summer takes on a distinct menacing tone, dogged by an inscrutable French policewoman. Does she have designs on Liam? Or is it Roz in her sights?
