Cozy Mysteries
The Willow Creek Mysteries are cozy small-town mysteries with heart, humor, and faith woven through every page. In Willow Creek, friendships run deep, second chances are possible, and even the smallest clues can lead to something bigger than expected.
Book 1 - Books & Buried Secrets
When Ethel Sue agrees to help sort donated books for the rummage sale, she expects a little dust, some dog-eared paperbacks, and a good excuse to spend time with her best friends — Lora, Nelda, and Glory, aka the Bridge Ladies.
What she doesn’t expect?
An unmailed letter tucked inside a battered home repair manual.
A heartfelt apology. A stock certificate. A mystery decades in the making.
Book 2 - Digging Up Trouble
In Willow Creek, Mr. Snoozy has taken up a new hobby—digging up flowerbeds all over town. He’s making a mess, stirring up gossip, and smelling worse by the day. But the strangest part? He seems to be digging with purpose.
With Willow Creek’s beloved fall festival drawing visitors from all around, the last thing anyone wants is a town in disarray. When someone begins using the incidents to push for more city council control, Ethel Sue knows it’s time to get to the bottom of what’s really going on—before more than just flowerbeds are disturbed.
Book 3 - Ruckus at the Rodeo
Everyone comes to the rodeo hoping for the same thing…
a good run, a fair shot, and maybe a little luck on their side.
But this year, something feels off.
When Ethel Sue and the Bridge Ladies volunteer at Sterling Ridge Ranch for rodeo week, they’re ready for long lines, dusty boots, and plenty of sweet tea. What they don’t expect is a rider arriving just minutes before his event—without his horse.
The horse turns up safe…
but something about it isn’t right.
