Here's a glimpse of her fiction, which you can explore in more detail at jwrobitaille.com

TRUST ME: Voices From the South is a collection of eight stories that put you inside the heads of men and women, black and white, young and old. Although these voices invite you to trust them, you do so at your own risk.

ROMANCING THE CRIME, the first book in the Cory Marin detective series, follows Sgt. Marin as she tries to prove that what looks like a random robbery gone wrong is premeditated murder while being shadowed by and gradually falling for a best selling novelist.

MARSHLAND, Cory Marin, book 2, follows Sgt. Marin and Detective Washington as they investigate the overdose death of a college student. The more questions they ask, the more they discover that everyone is lying or has something to hide. Their investigation leads them to the Gulf coast, a land of small towns, fishermen, and smugglers.

SECOND SELF, Cory Marin, book 3, follows Cory and her partner as they investigate the ritualistic murder of a college student, an investigation that leads them to the underbelly of fraternities and to the virtual world of Second Life.

CORY MARIN BOX SET (Kindle) combines the first three books at a discount price.

PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A WIFE AND MOTHER follows Rita Pearson as she juggles job, husband, two small children, and an alcoholic father while trying to maintain her identity and paint.

The DREAMTIME follows Jay Hollins as he finishes his MA in creative writing and attempts to come to terms with a tragedy that spelled the death of his dreams. Like the Australian aborigines, in telling his story, Jay dances the past to life and comes to better understand himself, thereby making a future possible.

DOOMS OF LOVE follows Emily Earl as she returns home to care for her ailing father, only to confront the conflicting demands of love, both past and present.
