Death in the Cards

If you’ve been wondering what’s happening in Willows Bend, here’s the scoop:

Heather Stanton and her Aunt Julia are making a home for themselves in the small town of Willows Bend as Julia works to complete her community service hours. But dark secrets from her past are about to catch up to her.

Julia’s unscrupulous ex-partner and former suitor, arrives unannounced with plans to reignite their romance, but Julia and Heather question his true intentions when his associate is found dead at the bottom of their stairs, and they’re thrown into another murder investigation. 

Aunt Julia turns to Cartomancy—a form of Tarot that uses playing cards—for guidance. Does Julia’s old deck, passed down from her grandmother, possess the ability to reveal clues to the killer, and guide her destiny towards riches, or is it the cause of all her troubles?

The Crone’s Curse

The Willows Bend Cozy Mystery Series -Book 2 

Heather Stanton’s aunt’s past is slowly catching up to her. Julia had always run away from situations she chose not to deal with, but running these days is impossible since she’s stuck in a small town doing community service.

Ever since Heather ran into her aunt in this speck on the map called Willows Bend, dead bodies have been turning up in the oddest places.

Julia believes the murders, are because she’s plagued with an evil curse, cast upon her by an old crone for a perceived injustice in her past. So she seeks out Madam Z, a dubious occultist, to assist in getting rid of it.

Can Heather convince her aunt there’s no such thing as a curse before Julia becomes so entrenched in her beliefs she’s arrested for a murder she didn’t commit, or finds herself the killer’s next victim?

Besides Heather’s kooky aunt, add an adorable trouble-making black cat, a missing red stiletto sandal the police are after, and an ex P.I. turned bookstore owner who has captured Heather’s heart, for a fun cozy mystery that’s sure to make you smile.

You Bet Your Life

The Willows Bend Cozy Mystery Series, Book 1

       “Sometimes you have to take a chance.”                             

As a marketing executive, Heather Stanton is used to spinning anything negative that comes her way into gold, but now both her personal and professional lives have hit a glitch, so she cuts her losses and boards the first train out of town, leaving it all behind.

Heather never expects to run into her independent, free-wheeling Aunt Julia in a speck on the map called Willows Bend. Nor does she expect the turn her life takes when her aunt is suspected of murder.

Putting her own problems aside, Heather teams up with a handsome ex-private investigator to clear her aunt’s name. But will Julia’s innocence be questioned when the odds turn against her in a race to catch the killer?

The Charlotte Ross Mysteries

Murder… Treasure… Romance

The Tarkington Treasure

A Charlotte Ross Mystery, Book 4

  “In the world of logic, it’s always our assumptions that lead us astray.” 

A spooky old house, rumors of a hidden Civil War treasure, a neighbor’s murder, and an ex-fiancé falling unconscious at her feet—Charlotte Ross has her hands full when she’s invited to stay at her friend, Jane Marshall’s home while her apartment is being renovated.

Jane and her new fiancé have sold everything to move to the large estate she’d just inherited near the small town in Illinois, where she grew up. She’s always loved the house, but the cost of living in, and fixing up, a deteriorating old mansion is more than both their incomes combined. If she can’t come up with the money for the next property tax payment, she’ll be forced to give it up.

Charlotte is intent on winning back her ex, but her efforts are stymied when he’s suspected of murder.

The two couples soon discover the rambling old house holds more than one secret when they join forces to find the real killer—and the elusive, Tarkington treasure.

A Charlotte Ross Mystery, Book 1

Mystery…Romance…Humor

Charlotte Ross sees her world about to crumble when the man she’s in love with–her mysterious boss, John Trent, announces his engagement to someone else.

Charlotte’s best friend, dubious globe-trotter and mystery author, Jane Marshall, arrives back in town only to stumble across the gruesome corpse of the town’s millionaire industrialist. When Jane becomes determined to find the killer, Charlotte joins forces with her friend to ease her heartbreak. In the process, the two self-appointed sleuths turn their small town upside down.

Charlotte is endearingly impractical as her impulsive choices lead her into and out of peril, with only the wry and often-misguided advice of the capricious Jane to guide her. Eldridge Corners is rich with quirky, small town personalities who both aid and thwart the young women’s quest as they discover that people are not always who they seem, and a single error in judgment can prove fatal.
