Lost in Lewis & Clark by Patty Joy
It's the 150th anniversary of Missouri State Parks, and Kelly Green is reporting in for her second year as a camp host.


As night falls on a long Saturday of hikes and fun in the sun, two boys are declared missing. Lost among the skunks, bears (no tigers), oh, my, Kelly Green must work hard to tabulate sightings and figure out where their directions went wrong.

Can she and the rangers remedy the predicament before they receive a catastrophic prescription?

Azure and the Case of the Chili Caper by Verena DeLuca
I, Azure Rune, a chili aficionado, will win the chili cookoff this weekend.
My human protector might doubt me, due to the “disgusting anchovies” I add each year.

But she is mistaken. My new secret ingredient is just the game changer I need—if I can find it.
Why is it, every time I have something special someone feels the need to move it?!

Join me in my search for the perfect chili, and enjoy the recipe for yourself!
I promise, you’ll agree. A fantastic way to end a chilly day.

Sweet Treats and a Stiff by Rune Stroud
Simon heads to the Halloween Festival with Autumn, and smells a favorite treat. Deep fried twinkies. When he escapes his witch to get one, however, he gets more than he bargained for when he finds a dead body. Will he do the right thing and tell his witch’s cousin, the deputy? Or will the draw of that fluffy fried treat be too much to fight?

Gems and Omens by Elle Wren Burke
Sitting at coffee shops with your long-lost aunt is supposed to be nice and calm, right? For psychic sleuth Alara Beatty, it turns out to be anything but when her aunt has a shocking vision of the Gem Show across the street. Gem and mineral enthusiasts don’t exactly scream violent and dangerous, but one of them is about to become a murderer. Can Alara and her aunt find the killer before the sun sets on the day and the victim’s life?
