Lily Cranston couldn’t be happier with the way her life has turned out thus far. Managing the Calico Rock Mine and Ghost Town in her hometown of Grady, California is a dream come true. Employed by the city she and her sisters grew up in gives her a sense of belonging and stability. Like a well-oiled machine, the work of her faithful and dedicated staff allows her to spend more time with her hunky boyfriend, CSI Cody West. Life is finally looking up…until the night she finds the body of an apparent hitman on the side of the road! As if that weren’t bad enough, in his pocket is her sister’s name and address.

Has someone really put a hit out on sweet, lovable Ava? To keep her sister safe, Lily must once again use her sleuthing skills to unlock the mystery. Her search for answers takes her on a journey filled with family secrets, ghost seekers, organized crime, and more suspects than she can count. As the possibilities mount without any clear answers, time may be running out for more than just one of the Cranston sisters.

Hello! I have so much to tell you. If you haven’t heard, book one of the Ghost Town Mystery series is free on Kindle and B&N for a limited time. So, if you haven’t gotten a copy of Murder at the Mine go get one now! 

Book three, Showdown at the Saloon will be available Tuesday, January 16th. Book four, Cornered at the Corral will be out in May. Take a look at the cover. It’s one of my favorites from the series.

I appreciate all the support and encouragement I’ve received while working on these books. It’s been so much fun creating the Cranston sisters and the community. Sounds like a great place to live.

By the way, how’s the weather where you live? The high today here in the Ozarks is 7 with snow in the forecast. Sounds like good reading or writing weather to me! Wherever you are, stay warm!

It’s Here!

Homicide at High Noon

Book two in The Ghost Town Mysteries came out last week and is ready to read. I appreciate all the support and great reviews. The Cranston sisters have been so much fun to create and write about. If there were such a place as Grady, California I would love to live there. The next book in the series, Showdown at the Saloon, is finished and will be coming out in 2024. There will be a cover reveal in my next newsletter.

Blurb:

Lily Cranston is soaring high as the manager of the Calico Rock Mine and Ghost Town in Grady, California. Cash is finally flowing in and improvements to the theme park, like the new zipline, are drawing crowds. Even Lily’s previously stalled love life seems to be heading on the right track with CSI Cody West. But all that comes to a halt when the park’s board of directors suddenly comes to Lily with accusations of embezzlement! Someone’s had their fingers in the till and all eyes are on her. To make matters worse, before Lily even has a chance to prove her innocence, murder strikes her small town!

Melvin J. Rinehart is the arrogant, browbeating bank auditor who’s determined to prove Lily has been stealing from the ghost town. But when Lily arrives at his office to set him straight, she finds someone’s beat her to it—killing the man before Lily has a chance to plead her case! Now not only is Lily in danger of facing embezzlement charges, but she’s also a prime murder suspect. Even her family and new boyfriend in law enforcement may not be enough to keep Lily out of jail. She’s worked too hard to lose it all, so Lily puts her skills to the test to find the real guilty party, uncovering shocking truths and unscrupulous practices along the way. Will she be able to find the missing money and the killer before it’s too late? Or will her time run out as the killer sets their sights on her…
