  "I don’t think anyone can forget their own war—the loss, the pain—however hard they try.” 
  Lin Thoren, a minor Norse goddess, is both beautiful and terrifying. While her powers have diminished over time, she can still move faster than light, shapeshift for short periods of time, and throw a grown man across the room. All of these skills make her a particularly adept Private Investigator. 
  Mary Lambert has just earned her Master’s degree in creative writing and aspires to be an author. Lin hires her to be a live-in ghostwriter and record her memoirs, which cover many eras, cultures, historical events, and criminal cases. As Lin recounts a tale about trafficked women hidden in a D.C. suburb, Mary begins to realize just how powerful her host is. Soon, Mary finds herself becoming an integral member of the Thoren household—in more ways than one.

  In England's stately manor houses, murder is not generally a topic for polite conversation. Mallowan Hall, home to Agatha Christie and her husband, Max, is the exception. And housekeeper Phyllida Bright delights in discussing gory plot details with her friend and employer . . . 
   
   
    
  The neighboring village of Listleigh has also become a hub of grisly goings-on, thanks to a Murder Fête organized to benefit a local orphanage. Members of The Detection Club—a group of celebrated authors such as G. K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Agatha herself—will congregate for charitable events, including a writing contest for aspiring authors. The winner gets an international publishing contract, and entrants have gathered for a cocktail party—managed by the inimitable Phyllida—when murder strikes too close even for her comfort. 
   
   
    
  It seems the victim imbibed a poisoned cocktail intended for Alastair Whittlesby, president of the local writers' club. The insufferable Whittlesby is thought to be a shoo-in for the prize, and ambition is certainly a worthy motive. But narrowing down these suspects could leave even Phyllida's favorite fictional detective, M. Poirot, twirling his mustache in frustration.

  For Charlotte, posing as the town psychic has never been easier. Thanks to helping the cops solve the mystery of the Castle Cove Bandit, “Ruby” has become a beloved fixture in the sleepy Oregon beach town. Her sister, Paige, is flourishing now that she’s not being yanked from one con job to the next. And both sisters are discovering what it means to be part of a community, rather than preying on one. 
  But wherever Charlotte and Paige go, crime is sure to follow. Someone has been breaking into homes and vandalizing their contents, including Ruby’s Readings and Cosmic Shop. Charlotte doesn’t want to get involved and risk their newfound stability, especially since it’s only two more months until the real Ruby returns. But when a phone call from their estranged parents breaks up their happy routine, the sisters realize they have even less time in Castle Cove than they thought. 
  Charlotte’s already had to distance herself from Deputy Jared once—a criminal in a cop’s bed never ends well. But this officer of the law isn’t giving up the chase. The closer he gets, the sooner the jig is up, and if Charlotte doesn’t give him the slip now, she may lose Paige forever. 
  Too Much Crime on My Hands is book two in the Castle Cove Mystery Series--NOT A STAND ALONE NOVEL--YOU MUST READ BOOK ONE FIRST--Fake it to the Limit!

  "Follow suit—or vanish." 
  In the underbelly of the Vietnam War, where shadows moved silently and secrets were currency, Specialist Peabody was thrust into a role he never sought. What began as a mundane Army supply job soon unraveled into a web of illicit power, where heroin was the product and lives were the price. With Captain Pickard off to the front lines, Peabody was left holding the reins to a stealthy empire under the cryptic command of Solitaire—a clandestine organization where a single playing card determined allegiance and offered a path no less perilous than it was profitable. 
  Peabody's token? The Two of Diamonds. 
  A badge of power; a test of loyalty. 
  As the echoes of war begin to fade, a ruthless new game emerges. Caught between familial duty and the lure of forbidden wealth, Peabody is tasked with recruiting others into this tangled hierarchy. Every selection, every promise—each one is a step deeper into a legacy of deception. Can he balance the scales between his love for his family and the dark demands of Solitaire? 
  Episode 19 of the Solitaire Series confronts you with a world where trust is a commodity, loyalty is bought, and ultimate freedom is just an illusion. In a realm where nothing is as it seems, each play is a gamble of life and death.
