News and Reviews...
“In Vintage Trailers and Blackmailers, the calm of Jules Keene’s Blue Ridge Mountain camper resort is disturbed when a man's lifeless body is found in the woods. What follows is a cozy mystery full of blackmail, secrets, mysterious strangers—and handsome security guy, Jake Evans. Jules and her loyal pup Bijou are in for a suspense-filled adventure. I love the warm and friendly characters and the twists and turns in this new down-home, mutt-loving series.” - Susan Van Kirk, Author of The Endurance Mysteries and A Death at Tippitt Pond
“Jules Keene is focused on her vintage trailer camping resort, but when a dead guest is discovered in the woods and her aunt is questioned, Jules decides to help catch the killer. She must stop the culprit, keep her guests satisfied, grow her business, run for president of the town’s business council, and stay alive when the bad guys come after her. This book is a joy to read.” - Jackie Layton, Author of the Low Country Dog Walker Mysteries
“I love the premise of this well-written and light-hearted whodunit where we meet Jules Keene, who owns a camping resort where murder does not mix with vintage trailers…From the introduction of the characters to the small-town atmosphere to the vintage trailer camp to the victim to the events leading up to his death and the killer’s identity and apprehension, the author did a great job in presenting this well-crafted mystery that kept me immersed in all aspects…I look forward to more adventures with Jules and her friend in this delightfully entertaining series.” - Dru Ann Love,Dru’s Book Musings
