Suite Charity
Timothy Trousdale came to New York to become a rich and famous bestselling author. Instead, he keeps tripping over murdered bodies in the sharp, funny mystery, Suite Charity.
Fresh out of community college and perpetually broke, Timothy is convinced success is just one lucky break away. What he finds instead is a punishing parade of humiliating temp jobs—until a miracle occurs. SwellHire Top Temps lands him a paid internship at the Adele Cummings Foundation, a glittering charity where millions flow freely, and egos flow faster.
Then one of the Foundation’s rising stars—a cabaret singer—ends the night’s performance dead. The police are satisfied with a tidy explanation. Timothy—who has read far too many mystery novels—is not. As he begins asking inconvenient questions, he discovers the Foundation runs less on generosity than on carefully managed appearances. And when anonymous threats begin lighting up his phone, Timothy realizes that curiosity may be the one luxury he can’t afford.
Unfortunately, it’s also the one thing he can’t seem to turn off.

Breakfast at Timothy's
Landing a dream job is great—until the manager turns up murdered.
Fresh-out-of-college aspiring novelist Timothy Trousdale can’t believe his luck when he lands a live-in assistant job with his idol, legendary showbiz diva Mercedes Ford. He’s watched all of her movies, paid a fortune for her Broadway shows, and now he’s living in her swanky Tribeca penthouse—rubbing elbows with A-listers and dreaming of literary fame.
That dream shatters when Mercedes’s universally loathed manager, Jared Evans, is found murdered. Even worse, Timothy quickly becomes a suspect.
If he doesn’t uncover the real killer, Timothy can kiss his writing career goodbye—and say hello to a prison sentence that would destroy his future and his budding romantic relationship. Desperate to clear his name, Timothy plunges into a world of sharp egos, backstage rivalries, and glittering deception, questioning a sourpuss housekeeper, a vindictive former employee, a delusional Brit, and Mercedes’s unfaithful toy-boy husband.

​
Richard Tyler Jordan and his Irish husband live in England in a 500-year-old cottage—along with a resident ghost that’s more “meh” than “boo.”
He is currently creating the next installment in the Timothy Trousdale Mystery series, drawing on his insider perspective on high art, high egos, and the not-so-glittery behind-the-scenes worlds of publishing, film, and theater.​
