Pepperville Stories

Back in 2006, I unleashed my debut novella into the wild—it was part of my master’s thesis, but that baby had legs! Once it hit the shelves, I realized that Pepperville wasn’t just a one-hit wonder. Oh no, this town had a saga to spill!

Dive into the neon-soaked ’80s with The Something, groove through the disco inferno of the ’70s with Franniebell, and catch the millennial fever of the ’90s and 2000s with Keilah. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes Secrets and Sunflowers, our latest saga set in modern-day Sandy Salts, Iowa. This baby’s got roots deep in perennially problematic Pepperville soil, sprinkled with a dash of contemporary spice!

Charming Mysteries

Welcome to Charming, Oregon, where the beaches are beautiful, the doctors are plentiful, and the murder rate is just high enough to keep things interesting! Gemini Reed thought she’d be in town for a quick medical pit stop for her husband, but little did she know, she was about to dive headfirst into the local tradition of mystery-solving.

Enter Feather Jones: part-time hair stylist, full-time paranormal detective. With a flair for the dramatic and a nose for trouble, Feather is just the sidekick Gemini never knew she needed. Together, they form the dynamic duo destined to become Charming’s very own Sherlock and Watson.

Strap in for a wild ride as these two tackle the town’s mysteries with a mix of supernatural savvy and hairspray—it’s the crime-solving partnership Charming has been waiting for!

Piney Falls Mysteries

Piney Falls is one of Oregon’s premier vacation spots, where the only thing thicker than the fog is the mystery! This coastal gem was once a bustling logging town, but now? It’s home to tales of the Fallen Branch Cult and whispers of secrets so deep, even the trees don’t dare speak.

Visitors flock here for a bit of R&R, but beware—some guests extend their stay indefinitely, entangled in Piney Falls’ enigmatic charm (or maybe just buried under its lush, mossy grounds by locals with an impressive talent for secrecy).

Enter Lanie Anders, who rolls into town expecting a quick visit. But oh, how the fates laugh! Lanie soon finds herself ankle-deep (make that knee-deep!) in a mystery that spans two centuries, linking the town’s eerie past with its quirky present. With her accidental detective hat on, Lanie doesn’t just solve puzzles; she knits herself a new family—part blood, part chosen, all bizarrely connected through Piney Falls’ tangled history.

Pour yourself a coffee, grab your flashlight, and join Lanie as she uncovers the layers of Piney Falls, one hauntingly hilarious revelation at a time!
