A Match Made in Autumn
Rhett harbors a secret crush on autumn-loving Amelia, but one embarrassing incident in high school is enough make the two of them actively avoid one another for the rest of their lives. That is until ten years later when a dying fall festival and decades-long cold case inexplicably bring them together.
Amelia takes over the annual North Louisiana fall festival and hopes to give it new life. With the help of her best friend and coworker, Beth, and her feisty Aunt Margie, she’s well on her way to making the event one like the city has never seen before. At least she was until a meddling old woman, rumored to be the town witch, tries to sabotage it.
Rhett is a local newspaper reporter. On the heels of a broken marriage, his work is suffering and he needs a good story to pull him out of his journalistic rut. The newspaper archives lead him to the cold case of a boy who went missing 20 years prior.
When the missing boy’s story leads Rhett to the site of the city’s fall festival, Amelia and Rhett are forced to confront their embarrassing past and work together. And fate (and one very mischievous one-eyed rescue dog) wants them to be together.
Full of romance, love, heartbreak, mystery and all kinds of autumnal and pumpkin spicy goodness, A Match Made in Autumn is perfect for fans of found family, self-discovery and serendipity.

The Gravekeeper (The Necromancer Legacies)
To be a necromancer is to dance with death and defy the laws of the living. To be an apprentice is to clean tombstones, patch up zombies, and endure the endless moaning of ghosts. Benjamin Stone is just months away from his rite- his moment to inherit the title of Gravekeeper and take his place among the Council of the Dead. There is only one problem: Ben cannot see ghosts. Without the spectral sight, he will lose everything. His title. His legacy. His future.
Now, Ben must decide whether to follow his grandfather’s guidance or forge his own path to gain the spectral sight before it is too late. He’ll do whatever it takes-rob graves, betray his bloodline, and even descend into the netherworld itself. Because some destinies aren’t given. They are taken.
The Gravekeeper is a young adult dark fantasy paranormal coming of age novel that will intwine you into the world of The Necromancer Legacies
