A Very Woodsy Murder (2024)
(Golden Motel Mystery, book 1)
Ellen Byron
"A laugh out loud, make you snort, tale chock full of oddball characters in the delightfully rustic setting of an old motel. Come for the laughs, stay for the puzzler of a mystery that will keep you up entirely too late, trying to solve it."

Until Next Summer (2024)
Ali Brady
"Until Next Summer is an absolute must read! This novel beautifully captures everything that's magical and marvelous about long summer days, away camp, best friends, first kisses, finding your people and the place of your heart. When everything the Chickawah campers love is placed in jeopardy, our protagonists try everything they can think of to save the day. Rarely have I been so completely invested in the outcome of a story. In a word, it's Chicka-wonderful! Hey, if you know, you know and if you don't know you need to read Until Next Summer!"

Do Me a Favor (2024)
Cathy Yardley
"A beautifully crafted tale about love, laughter, and starting over, Yardley's Do Me a Favor is the romcom we all need. Perfect for fans of feel-good stories and second chances, this book proves it's never too late to find love in the most unexpected places - and if you're really lucky, it comes with a dog named Noodle."
