The Rawhide Ranch Adventures are set on a real ranch in the foothills of Southern California. Book One, Saddle Up!, takes horse-loving Bridget on an unforgettable week at Rawhide Ranch, where she is confronted with a terrible secret. Other books in this series for middle-grade readers are in the planning stages.

The Maggie and Em Mysteries take readers back in time, where the eleven-year-old Brandenburg twins make their own “fun” on their aunt’s sprawling farm in rural Ohio. Oh, and they solve mysteries in their spare time. Middle grade fiction forages 8-12.

Eventually, there will be four books in this exciting mystery set during the Depression of the 1930s.

Enter – if you dare – the garden of mysteries. Open the creaky gate, tiptoe along a cobblestone path. Each stone leads the way into a unique story, a door into a different time and a mystery that must be solved.

Two other mysteries are planned for this “flowery” mystery series for middle-grade readers.
