Nana’s granddaughter, Mallory Vianu, is hosting a blogging conference at Caravan Manor when she hears back from a local historian who’s translated the fifty-five-year-old diary Mallory found in the manor’s attic; the translation uncovers information about a set of original tarot cards Mallory’s great-grandmother, a Roma witch-wife, used to divine the future. Unfortunately, unlike her powerful relative, Mallory doesn’t see what’s coming next. The historian dies, taking the whereabouts of the heirloom to her grave. To make things worse, one of the conference guests is murdered, and the detective’s eyes are on Mallory—whether she’s a suspect or girlfriend material remains to be seen. Suspicions really heat up when they discover the historian’s death was also no accident. Now, with two lethal murders connected to the manor, and to their diary in particular, the Vianu girls must put their paranormal skills to the test. While hosting breakout sessions and parties for writers, digital creatives, and influencers, they search for the greatest treasure and take clues from a ghost. But the closer they get to the truth, the closer they get to a killer, someone who looks a lot more like one of them than they realized.

The doctor convinces Juniper the only way he and his murdered bride Victoria—the ghost of the Gothic Inn—can move on is if Juniper solves the one-hundred-year mystery of their murder-suicide.

Nuttier Than Pecan Pie
2019
Bake or Die is the first book in a festive new cozy mystery series set in the unique world of Bohemian Lake. If you like outrageous weapon-toting, snowmobile-riding women; nutty, nosy neighbors; and quirky conspiracies involving pie, one-click this book for a slice of laughter.
Meet Eve an outspoken Southern woman with an outrageous style, her own private spy network and three priors-husbands, that is. Of course, it's all the same to Eve, who equates marriage with time served. She's a unique woman, well suited to her job at Bohemian Lake's Private Ink & Eye. She's as able to chase down a lead as to outrun a culprit, no matter how ridiculous her boots. Eve's antics, especially her penchant for breaking and entering, drives her friends nuts. Unfortunately, apart from Bohemian Lake, relationships are not Eve's strong suit, hence, the three ex-husbands. Which is why Eve jumps at the chance to help out a neighbor when a burglary disrupts the small-town sweetness of the March Break's maple-themed festival.
But things get hairy fast,and it's not just the Siberian Husky Eve stumbled across and adopted as her partner in crime-solving. No, sadly one of the festival's judges has gone missing, and if that's not bad enough, her only lead has gone colder than the festival's igloo bar.
Eve is Bohemian Lake's number one spy and she's ready to pore over clues and extract a killer even if the maple festival is proving to be sticky a situation.

Crème Eggs Corpses and the Farmhouse Fixer Upper
2019
After a shooting occurs at the Farmhouse Fixer Upper, Bohemian Lake's favorite house flippers follow the clues down the rabbit hole—an old asylum-turned-art-studio, and what they find is most haunting.
House Flippers Jack & Juniper have invited Junie's art enthusiast family to stay with them at their latest purchase—a romantic old farmhouse in a pastoral setting, where the Bohemian Lake Art Council & Festival Committee are holding the Alice in Easter Land Egg Hunt & Auction.
The only problem, Juniper has to collect the Auction's main bid—one of the Romanov's recovered Imperial Easter Eggs from a haunted asylum-turned-creative-space where a poltergeist has latched itself onto the rare piece of work. What's worse than that? Interacting with her dad's new girlfriend, the snooty art specialist who procured it.
With the holiday dinner fast approaching, bodies pile higher than goodies in an Easter basket and they all point to the possibility that there's a bad egg at the table. The world of art in Bohemian Lake paints a very abstract two-sided picture where no one and no thing is what they seem.
Crème Eggs, Corpses and the Farmhouse Fixer Upper is the eleventh book in the Bohemian Lake Series, and it's the fourth of the series dedicated to the haunted house flippers. While the series is best enjoyed in order, each book is a complete mystery on its own. For those of you who are new to my books, the Bohemian Lake series is a world comprised of multiple sets. Each set focuses on a different Bohemian resident(s), although all of the books intersect.

Scandal & Gretel
2019
There's a lot at Stake for a Witch in Medieval Germany, like being Tied to One.
Bohemian Lake's bookstore regularly spotlights a 19th-century author. This month it just happens to be a duo—the Brothers Grimm—and the adventure book club is off to explore the medieval magic of the Black Forest in South Western Germany. Part witch and part witch-hunter, Sera Popescu whose conflicting ancestry stems from Europe, is excited to see the half-timbered homes, hear the cuckoo clocks and travel over the narrow cobblestone streets. But the fairy tale scenario gets a little too real when one of the book club members opens up the cottage oven.
Could the charred remains belong to the Gingerbread Hag or is this just a prank for the tourists? As if things weren't grim enough, when they return to town, they discover two children are missing and their host has been arrested for murder. Holed up in a small German village full of riled up witch-haters, it's up to Sera to find the story's happy ending—or wind up over the pyre.
"Fairytale fans get ready to hear the cuckoo clocks, taste the gingerbread and experience murder most Grimm—first of the Bookish Adventures in the new Witch-Lit mystery set."
Scandal & Gretel is the twelfth book in the Bohemian Lake Series, and the first of the set dedicated to half-witch Sera Popescu and the Bohemian Lake's Adventure Book club. While the series is best enjoyed in order, each book is a complete mystery on its own. For those of you who are new to my books, the Bohemian Lake series is a world comprised of multiple sets. Each set focuses on a different Bohemian resident(s), although all of the books intersect.

Jack & Juniper are back, ripping up old carpets & exposing the secrets beneath in Black Cats, Corpses & the Pumpkin Pantry, Rachael Stapleton's fifth installment in the hilarious Bohemian Lake mystery series.
House flippers Jack & Juniper agree to fix up the Von Tassel mansion, an old Dutch farmhouse estate known as Sleepy Hollow, which happens to be hosting this year's Haunted Pumpkin Patch festivities. They're expecting old carpets, and warped posts, not a revolutionary war ghost.
But when some of Bohemian Lake's local teens come across a body in the pumpkin patch, they nearly lose their heads.
Juniper thinks the headless horseman is just a silly ghost story. Until the body turns out to belong to a missing local. After that, another death occurs with a scandalous connection to the Sleepy Hollow Estate. Now rumors of the Hessian soldier once again rise up from the grave and gallop across the lips of the Bohemian locals.
It's up to Juniper and her friends to chase down the town's notorious killer. Will they be treated to a Halloween beheading or is this all a trick?
