  First they warned Jocelyn Johnson. Then they ticketed Jocelyn Johnson. Then someone murdered Jocelyn Johnson. 
   
   
   
  Cara Mia Delgatto was looking for a lost ball when she found Jocelyn "JJ" Johnson face down in a sand trap. 
   
   
   
  It wasn't a surprise. The neighbors hated JJ for the reckless way she drove her golf cart. Sure, she lived on the grounds of a swanky golf club, and yes, she had tons of money, but JJ ruined flowerbeds, terrorized grandkids, and made a nuisance of herself. Except . . . except . . . she's quiet now. Lying there in the dirt at Hole #6. Someone bashed in JJ's head. (Who would risk ruining an expensive Homna golf club like that?) 
   
   
   
  Cara doesn't want to get involved. But when Gerta Hunsickler is named the prime suspect, and Gerta's husband is so angry at his wife that he's starting divorce proceedings, Cara can't sit on her hands. She knows what it's like to be unfairly accused. So she promises to take a swing at it and see if she can hit a long drive down the fairway of justice! 
   
   
   
  If you love warm-hearted, clean books that feature female amateur sleuths, fur babies, family, and friends, you'll love this charming DIY/recycling/upcycling series set on the Southeast Coast of Florida.

  Not When I'm Gone

  The Maine of Not When I'm Gone is about mother nature, the sea, the woods, the tides, the seasons, sunrise and sunset. It is also about human nature, about locals on an island called Pulpit, locals from downstreet and wealthy summer people, the up-islanders, and about how these socially distinct populations disrupt the island calm when they mix.  Locale matters, so do characters, but central to Not When I'm Gone are events that happen on the Fourth of July weekend. Locals are drinking, partying, waiting for fireworks. The Coast Guard is like them, cruising the bay, but not patrolling much, most of the sailors below deck, with girlfriends, celebrating the holiday. It is the perfect moment for a multi-million drug drop to take place. A boat from Panama is hardly noticed when it slips into the bay.  Not When I'm Gone is told from alternating points of view: Famel, Sarah, Rick, Emily. The women try to help the men they love, the men try to help themselves. If all islands are included, with a longer and more difficult to patrol shoreline than the rest of the 49 other states combined, during Prohibition, the state of Maine was the focal point for rum running. Now drug runners have stepped in. The stakes are higher. And the fall from grace more dramatic.

  When you can fake anything, how do you know what’s real? 
   
  Harlow Close has made a career as an influencer uncovering the secrets of Winnipeg, dubbed ‘North America's strangest city’. The region is renowned for its sub-zero temperatures, dropping to minus 40 degrees – sometimes for months at a time. Yet, it’s not just the frigid winters and geographic seclusion that render Winnipeg peculiar. 
   
  When Harlow's father mysteriously disappears amidst a particularly brutal cold snap, suspicions of foul play arise. It’s not like Scott to miss phone calls –and he's been even more cautious since that time he was catfished by a romance scammer. Unhappy with the pace of the police investigation, Harlow launches her own search, enlisting her sister Blaise’s reluctant help. 
   
  As Harlow struggles to uncover what happened to her father, she’s forced to question everyone and everything around her – including herself.

  "The long years of near-utopia have come to an abrupt end. 
   
  Peace and order are now figments of the past. Corruption, deception, and insurgency hum within the once steadfast leadership of the Hives, nations without fixed location. 
   
  The heartbreaking truth is that for decades, even centuries, the leaders of the great Hives bought the world’s stability with a trickle of secret murders, mathematically planned. So that no faction could ever dominate. So that the balance held. 
   
  The Hives’ façade of solidity is the only hope they have for maintaining a semblance of order, for preventing the public from succumbing to the savagery and bloodlust of wars past. But as the great secret becomes more and more widely known, that façade is slipping away. 
   
  Just days earlier, the world was a pinnacle of human civilization. Now everyone?Hives and hiveless, Utopians and sensayers, emperors and the downtrodden, warriors and saints?scrambles to prepare for the seemingly inevitable war. 
   
  Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!
