Murder in Michigan

2022

Sometimes a woman on the move… Stumbles into murder. Tulia Blake loves to travel, so when her relationship goes down the tubes and she wins the lottery all in the same day, she is determined to start living her dream. Her first order of business is buying an RV with all the bells and whistles, and after hugging her mother goodbye, Tulia hooks her car to the back of the RV, packs up her African Grey parrot, Cicero, and hits the road. Born and raised in Michigan, she decides to drive through the Upper Peninsula on her way to Wisconsin. Everything goes according to plan until she reaches Marquette. When she stops at a diner for pastries, someone steals her RV—along with her wallet, phone, and essentially everything that she owns. While searching for clues, Tulia and one of the waitresses who works at the diner find the body of a well-known and largely disliked local in the dumpster. No one is sure whether the two crimes are related, but it’s the only lead Tulia has to go on. She and the waitress work together to track down the killer in hopes that they can recover Tulia’s RV. Can Tulia catch a killer and save her brand new RV? Or will her new fortune put her in the path of a killer? Find out in this exciting Travel Cozy Mystery!

Warned in Wisconsin

2022

Confidence is a good thing… But complacency can be murder. Lottery winner and amateur sleuth, Tulia Blake crosses the state line into Wisconsin in her RV and hears a fairly alarming warning on a local radio station about a suspected serial killer. While the news raises her eyebrows and curiosity a bit, she figures that chances are pretty low that she’ll encounter a killer during her brief visit to the land of cheese. Her optimism wasn’t fully grounded in reality, as it turns out, and Tulia manages to catch the killer’s attention at her first stop in Wisconsin. From that point forward, the hair on the back of her neck rises far too frequently, as Tulia becomes increasingly convinced that she’s being followed. But is it a killer following her? Or is it someone with an entirely different agenda? Pack your bags and hop in the RV with Tulia as she continues along on her sleuthing adventures!

Sometimes, if you want something done right… You’ve gotta do it yourself.

Her world is rocked when she returns to the RV park and witnesses what she suspects is a murder/kidnapping. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have any evidence regarding the crime, aside from what she saw. When she reveals that the RV she saw driving away with the kidnapped victim inside happened to be the exact same model as hers - and even had the same first three license plate numbers - the police dismiss her concerns. Determined to get to the bottom of what happened, and hopefully save a life, Tulia tracks the RV across the state herself, in a breathtaking attempt to solve the crime before it’s too late.
