When Elsie shows up claiming to be the girlfriend of Greg, a half-brother Detective Jake Sanders and his sister, Samantha Majors, never knew they had, she creates quite a stir. Especially since he’s missing. She seems determined to ingratiate herself into the family, and in the process, causes problems in Private Investigator Mackenzie Love’s relationships with her fiancé and her best friend.
A bee sting and a stolen manuscript offer Mac a welcome chance to avoid her relationship issues. An eccentric author hires Mac to find the manuscript, but after people begin to die, it looks like her case and the search for the missing brother might be connected. And not in a good way.
Will Mac and Jake find the killer, and still remain a couple?
The publishing business continues to get more complex! Which means the writing business does as well. I’m working on a sixth Mac and Sam mystery that I hope to get published in 2027, and will be starting on a novella that we are expecting to come out in 2028. And it’s only January of 2026!
Let’s talk a little about the Mac and Sam book I’m writing. A friend and fellow writer gave me the idea of bringing characters from my first series, Trouble in Pleasant Valley, together with Mackenzie Love and Samantha Majors. And so, The Case of the Lost, But Found was conceived. Watch for Private Investigators Rafe and Claire O’Connell from Ohio to join forces with Mac and Sam in Missouri at solving two cases that cross paths.
The novella is still in the planning stages, but I can tell you it will include chocolate and murder. Two of my favorite things!
Stay Tuned!
