"A magical bakery. A dead author. A secret someone killed to protect.
Welcome to Celestial Falls, where the pastries are warm, the gossip is sweeter, and the magic is just beneath the surface.
Lo Heal-Park thought she was finally settling into her new life at Heavenly Desserts—baking, blending in, and keeping her unusual gifts to herself. But when bestselling author Patrice Holloway is found dead in a bookstore reading chair—peaceful, composed, and very much murdered—Lo's quiet life crumbles faster than a bad batch of scones.
Because Lo doesn't just bake. She reads what the dough tells her. And what it's telling her now? This wasn't just murder. This was silencing.
As the town points fingers at the loudest suspect, Lo starts uncovering something far more dangerous: a hidden manuscript that was never meant to be finished, a powerful secret buried inside Patrice's final book, and a truth someone will do anything to keep from being exposed
With her fairy god-cat offering unhelpful commentary, a too-perceptive wizard always one step ahead, and her own powers growing stronger by the day, Lo will have to trust what she feels—even when she can't prove it.
Because in Celestial Falls . . . Some stories aren't written. They're protected. And this one? Someone already tried to erase it."
"In the heart of Kentucky's Daniel Boone National Forest, murder has checked into Happy Trails Campground.
When a high-profile RV dealership manager is crushed beneath a fifth-wheel trailer, it looks like a tragic hitching accident.
Until the coroner rules it homicide. And Mae West's husband becomes the prime suspect.
As owner of Happy Trails Campground in Normal, Kentucky, Mae is used to managing campfires, communal suppers, and the occasional tourist meltdown—not clearing her husband's name in a murder investigation.
With help from the sharp-eyed Laundry Club Ladies, a campground full of watchful guests, and more than a little Southern stubbornness, Mae follows a trail that will lead her straight to the killer.
In a town where reputation is everything and word travels faster than wildfire, Mae must uncover who was really behind the wheel before Hank's future goes up in smoke.
Because at Happy Trails, loyalty runs deep. And no one messes with family."
"All roads lead home in the dramatic conclusion to one family's journey of love, sacrifice, and survival.
Since the moment he saw her, Coop Spencer has been single-minded in his quest to protect Belle. She's running from something—someone—and he's never met anyone so scared. When the wagon master forces an ultimatum: a marriage or Belle is expelled from the wagon train, Coop makes the only choice he can. He'll do everything in his power to prove he's the kind of man she can trust. But overcoming the mistakes of his past may prove too much . . .
Belle knows that the danger she escaped is still out there, still hunting her. Experience has taught her that she can't rely on anyone, not even the man who promised their marriage was in name only.
As they traverse the Oregon Trail together, Belle is taken in by Coop's big family, and the more time she spends with her temporary husband and his siblings, the more she starts to long for something she'd forgotten ages ago: home.
When danger closes in, one of them must sacrifice everything for love . . ."
"A little sweet tea and a whole lot of spells won't always put out the fire . . .
Ruby Mae Jewell has enough on her plate with planning a wedding. If only some lingering doubts about her future with Luke didn't stand in her way. Of course, the last thing she needs is a stranger on her doorstep dredging up family secrets . . . or bringing Ruby's long-lost mother with her.
Dealing with the unexpected visitors might push her to the breaking point. But when something sinister targets the local brides, Ruby's wedding planner takes the heat. With her own happily-ever-after threatening to come apart at the seams, Ruby must lean on her friends and family to figure out what's behind the bridal breakdowns before she becomes the next one to snap."
"Keeping secrets is nearly impossible on an Oregon-bound wagon train. But Alice Spencer has kept a whopper from her protective brothers for months: she once fancied herself in love with her wealthy boss's grandson. Her brothers don't know she's the reason Rob Braddock came on this westward journey. Only that he's part of the reason they had to leave their home and friends behind. Her brothers will never forgive Rob—and neither can she.
The company is still weeks away from the Willamette Valley when Rob injures himself saving the youngest Spencer brother's life. Alice has no choice but to pay back the life-debt. She strikes a deal to help the injured Rob finish his journey to Oregon, at which point, they'll go their separate ways. All she has to do is keep from falling in love with him. Again."
"Now in development as a Hallmark channel original series, this bestselling series is perfect for fans of feel-good mysteries with a Southern twist. So pull up a camp chair, pour yourself a mason jar of sweet tea, and get ready to solve a mystery—because in Normal, the only thing you can expect . . . is the unexpected.
Welcome to NORMAL . . . where nothing is normal!
It's a not-so-merry Christmas in Normal, Kentucky! When bossy Gingerbread Gala chairwoman Harper Stewart is found strangled with holiday garland, campground owner Mae West and the Laundry Club Ladies swap cocoa for clues. From feuding bakers to a fake fundraiser—and even Mae's mother-in-law landing on the suspect list—Happy Trails Campground becomes ground zero for one festive whodunit.
Packed with small-town charm, Southern sass, and Christmas chaos, Gingerbread, Garlands, & Gunshots is the perfect cozy mystery for sleuths who like their holidays sweet . . . with a dash of murder."
"In this cozy novella, Quinn Daly and Eric Olafson, the co-proprietors of The Shakespeare Shop, are still processing the fact that they met and befriended Shakespeare's ghost the previous spring. Now it is fall, and they are planning fun activities for the shop, including a Halloween party in which everyone will dress as a Shakespearean character. But when they learn that an anonymous local is planning to auction off a remnant of a manuscript allegedly written in Shakespeare's own hand, they are skeptical and disbelieving. When that same local collector is murdered, Quinn and her partner become embroiled in a frightening web of lies that could lead to more violence. They seek the aid of Quinn's boyfriend, Detective Wade Byrne, and the ultimate authority on Shakespeare: the Bard himself, who returns to help them solve a murder mystery."
"This short novella introduces two proprietors of an All-Things-Shakespeare shop. Their devotion to the Bard, along with their frequent invocation of his words, brings them to the attention of his ghostly spirit, still roaming the Earth and seeking those who would be uplifted by Art. Shakespeare has an urgent mission after he makes contact: he has determined that a murder has been committed in his name, and he vows to apprehend the blackguard responsible for the deadly deed before the killer can strike again. This book will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, suspense, romance, humor, cozy settings, and, of course, iambic pentameter."
"Welcome to Normal, Kentucky—where Mae West faces a ghostly guest list and one chilling murder she can't ignore . . .
Mae West is no stranger to mystery. As owner of Happy Trails Campground and partner to park ranger Hank Sharp, she's kept Normal, Kentucky running as smoothly as a campfire marshmallow roast. But when paranormal TV star Ken Treadwell is found stabbed during the town's 'Haunts and Hikes' festival, with no murder weapon in sight, things take a deadly detour.
With her mama's event on the line and campground gossip reaching a full boil, Mae must untangle a haunted whodunnit with help from her fiercely loyal Laundry Club Ladies. The suspects? Ken's polished entourage, a few bitter locals, and even Mae's right-hand woman, the fiery Dottie Swaggert.
As secrets surface and the ghost-hunting crowd grows restless, Mae races to catch a killer before the next story ends in more than just screams."
