Deadly Southern Charm; a Lethal Ladies Mystery Anthology

Genilee’s and Sharon’s short story, “Who Killed Billy Joe” is featured along with thirteen other compelling mysteries selected by the Sister in Crime’s Central Virginia chapter for this book, which highlights female protagonists in southern settings. The authors are both seasoned published book authors and newer writers selected because their mysteries appeal and are well crafted with just the right amount of southern charm.

Relative Connections

Nine stories that explore the connections we make to other humans or animals who touch our lives. From the runaway bride who is rescued by a truck driver to the soldier whose life is saved by a dog or the bachelor who finds a baby in the water, these stories illustrate that we can never tell when we’ll find another being who becomes a relative.

Holiday Connections

Twelve stories based on celebrations we commemorate every year and how those celebrations bring together family, friends, lovers and sometimes strangers. From the little girl who believes she’ll die on Easter to the mail order bride who becomes a U.S. citizen in time for the Fourth of July to the pastor that brings together an entire community to save his church, these stores are designed to inspire and help us recognize the role holidays play in our lives.
