Introduction
Sharon Triplett’s life-change was to retreat to the majestic mountains, settle into her inherited family home with her two kids, plucky pet parakeet, Seymour, and try to recover from the tragic death of her husband, a hotshot, undercover, city detective.
It was an elegant plan. It should have worked.
But then, astoundingly, Seymour, began eerily communicating to her in her dead husband’s voice and Sharon’s life was flipped upside down. Amazingly, Sharon’s been taking it in stride. Keeping it all hush-hush. Impressive, considering she also has to balance running her unique new tearoom/counseling office.
Book 1 – Missing, Presumed Unwed
I didn’t expect to get wrapped up in a mystery through my husband…He’s dead.
I didn’t ask for a missing couple to complicate my first days in Mountain Springs, but there they were…or, rather, weren’t.
I KNEW my detective husband was gone … but then here he was…colorfully solving mysteries with me … he’s green and yellow.
Am I insane or is my bird talking to me?
Get acquainted with Sharon, Seymour and all the townspeople in “Missing, Presumed Unwed.”
Book 2 – Curses, Fowled Again!
Bizarre things are happening around the quaint town of Mountain Springs, from an epidemic of insomnia that’s overtaken its citizens, to the increasingly violent assaults coming from the most unexpected places, to creepy disturbances in my home.
Seymour and I work to unlock the mystery of what dark forces are terrorizing our community. Could it be an illness? A gas leak? Or, as one local legend claims, could it be an evil curse from over a century before?
Join Sharon and Seymour as they use their combined sleuthing skills to crack the case in “Curses, Fowled Again!”
Book 3 – Beasties and Butterscotch Pie
What smells like coconuts, looks like a bear and wears pink? We’re sharin’ a shapeshifting tale direct from Mountain Springs—to you!
It seems there’s a mysterious creature hiding in the woods near Mountain Springs, and everyone is talking about it!
That and my butterscotch pie—heaven on a plate, they say!
If you’re in on the Sasquatch watch, the creature in the woods near cozy Mountain Springs may still have you just as puzzled as its residents.
Join us as we follow the breadcrumbs—figurative and literal��to get to the bottom of some weird, wild stuff in our cryptozoological quest to find out who or what is behind the recent rash of thievery—of frozen meat—and lotions! (Wait, what?)—
