The last survivors. The last chance. The last leap through time.... 
"Engrossing doomsday thriller spliced with heart, humor, and second chances." 
~Publishers Weekly  
In a crumbling biodome surrounded by rising seas and swarms of microdrones, humanity's last survivors cling to hope. For Isabel, a dying scientist, and Diego, the man she loves, time is running out. But when Isabel stumbles upon a long-lost time bridge, the possibility of changing the past emerges, and the stakes rise dramatically—leading to impossible choices and heart-wrenching sacrifices. 
In a world on the brink, time is the ultimate weapon.

Spring has sprung in Clover Grove and Ivy is expecting baby goats... and old ghosts. 
When rescuers drop off a trio of pregnant goats at Runaway Farm they also deliver the promise of renewal and fun. Instead, the arrival of a ghost from Ivy’s past coincides with another murder in quaint Clover Grove. Learning about goat midwifery becomes the least of her problems. 
An ornery pickpocket goat makes a good addition to the crime-solving “farm family.” Will that be enough to outplay a heartless killer before the onslaught of kids arrives? Or will someone else die as the menagerie grows? 
The next book in the Bought-the-Farm Mystery Series is a perfect page-turner for lovers of animals, cozy mysteries and funny, spunky aspiring sleuths.
