RANCH DRESSING

Now available!

Get ready for a laugh-out-loud adventure with Samantha Kidd, the most stylish sleuth in Ribbon, Pennsylvania! In this cozy mystery, Samantha finds herself trading high heels for cowboy boots as she heads to a dude ranch, hoping for a little rest and relaxation. Little does she know a murder mystery is about to lasso her in…

 

When fashionista Samantha Kidd’s father-in-law arranges a week on the dude ranch he’s aiming to buy, Samantha preps for blue skies and clean living. But all too soon she learns life on the ranch is anything but calm. When the owner is found dead inside one of the stables, all signs point to murder.

As Samantha wrangles clue after clue, she smells something rotten—and it’s not manure. In her quest for the
truth, she encounters quirky cowhands, brazen barrel racers, and suspicious horseplay—not to mention a social paradigm straight from the eighteen hundreds. Can Samantha bring justice to the wild west of eastern New Jersey, or will a renegade ranch dweller get away with murder?

Ranch Dressing
is a hilarious western adventure that will have you laughing 'til the cows come home. Yeehaw!

NEXT BOOK! WARPED ON A MOON TREK:

TOMORROW IS YESTERDAY AND NEXT WEEK MAY NEVER COME...

 

Sylvia Stryker is the Moon Unit Corporation’s employee of the month. Impressive, since her side gig solving intergalactic mysteries takes up most of her time. But she is put to a new test after her mentor, Neptune, flies through a wormhole to meet with a reclusive scientist about the faulty chip powering their lunar module. The contact has been hiding from accusations of murder on another planet. Even more startling is the identity of the scientist: a family member Sylvia never thought she’d see again.

 

When Neptune’s space pod vanishes into a parallel timeline, Sylvia is quick to follow, but a face-to-face with her younger self threatens her reality. She is thrust into a time-bending journey where the unsolved murder becomes central to her mission. With a missing boss, a malfunctioning navigational system, and a family reunion hanging in the balance, Sylvia’s race against time just might save the world…or eradicate it from existence.

 

Can Sylvia repair the circuits of time or will she stay lost in space with a killer?
