  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories. 
   
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
   
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.

  🥧 The county fair in the small town of Sugar Ridge is famous for its baking competition, and this year, the rivalry between veteran baker Granny Mae and newcomer Chloe is hotter than a preheated oven. But when the arrogant judge, known for his brutally honest critiques, collapses after tasting Granny Mae's signature peach pie, the festive atmosphere curdles. The cause of death is a rare, undetectable poison, and the prime suspect is Granny Mae herself. Convinced her grandmother is being framed, Chloe dons her detective's apron to find the real culprit. With help from her mischievous goat, Butterscotch, and a dishy food scientist who's sweet on her, Chloe uncovers a recipe for disaster. From sabotaged ingredients and stolen family recipes to a secret affair and a decades-old grudge over a stolen blue ribbon, the fairgrounds are filled with more secrets than a pie has crumbs. Can Chloe find the killer before the fair closes and the culprit skips town, or will she be the next one to get baked?
