Release Day for TILDA

Tilda is book 31 in the multi-author Prairie Roses Collection series.

Following her parents’ death, Tilda Torsdotter turns to her cousin, Rakel, for help and joins her family’s preparations to head to California. Tilda’s job will be to assist pregnant Rakel with her two children under age five and receive the protection of Rakel’s husband, Albert. Then Rakel sickens and dies, and Albert looks to Tilda to fulfill her cousin’s duties--all of them.

Flynn Mannix has his eye set on reaching the gold fields of California. An easy-going guy, he’s always made his way doing one task or another but now he wants to make something of himself. Hiring on as a driver on a wagon train seems like the easiest way to reach the west coast. Until he witnesses an inappropriate encounter and steps in.

Suddenly, he’s committed to a marriage of convenience with Tilda and responsible for her safety until they reach California. At the end of the trail, will the couple go their separate ways, or will they realize the experience has made their marriage real?

Release Day for St. Patrick's Shenanigans

Today my first cozy mystery, St. Patrick’s Shenanigans , released. This contemporary title is part of the Holiday Pet Sleuths multi-author series where either a cat or a dog help the protagonists solve a mystery. I’d set my last historical in Butte, Montana, and learned so many interesting facts about the town and its inhabitants that I knew this story needed to happen there. The added bonus is that the cover features my beloved dog, Keiko, who acts a lot like the one in the story.

The first task for new Butte Chamber of Commerce manager, Mitzi Lambrecht, is to organize the board of directors’ entry for the St. Patrick’s Day float. She’s advocating for a frontier theme honoring early settler like her ancestors. But she’s opposing by a handsome but infuriating jokester.

Declan Rourke is proud of his Irish roots and wants their contribution included in the float’s design. Softening the uptight manager presents a challenge the ladies’ man can’t resist.

But when elements of their float disappear, Declan and Mitzi must work together to figure out who is sabotaging their efforts. Can they work together as a team, or will Mitzi fail at her first big assignment?

The Holiday Pet Sleuth series also features a cat-related story.
Paddy's Mission by Marlene Bierworth
Unbeknownst to Fionn Graham, her financial troubles have come to her granddaughter Hannah’s attention. Will solutions come from the first-prize money for the bike contest, the kind neighbor, Mr. O’Malley, or will it be a lost treasure that sets her free?

The family heirloom is on the verge of being rediscovered by the least likely duo. Hannah, and her kitten, Paddy are on a mission to find the gem-studded cat collar before the troublesome leprechauns can steal it on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day.

Tales of the O’Toole Irish ancestry, St. Patrick’s legacy, and all the folklore attached to the holiday aid in the search of the gem-studded cat collar.

Join Grannie Graham, Mother Catsie, Hannah, Paddy, and their sidekick, Mr. O’Malley, as they experience not only the fun, nonsensical aspects of the holiday but learn that the love St. Patrick preached so many years ago is still alive and well in their midst.
