By the Fright of the Silvery Moon
Summary
Is it moonlight, or is it murder? Ned McNeil is haunted by a nightmare that wakes her in the middle of the night, leaving her gasping for breath. A dog - or is it a wolf? - howling in her yard under the brilliant autumn moon sends chills down her spine. Is the moonlight and the fact that she is alone in Granger Mansion causing her imagination to work overtime? Hidden by a dense fog, an unknown driver pursues Ned to the edge of a cliff, an innocent-appearing luncheon ends in violence, a neighbor drops dead for no apparent reason, and a hidden shooter waylays her in a deserted cemetery. Surely, these are not coincidences. Every old house has a history, and Ned thought she knew everything about Granger Mansion - but the house holds some deep secrets of its own. Those secrets very nearly cost Ned McNeil her life. By the Fright of the Silvery Moon is a pause-resister; a cozy mystery with an extra shiver that just may keep you up at night, even when the moon isn't full!

The Cemetery Club
Summary
Goshen Cemetery lay quiet and peaceful under a benevolent spring sky. Darcy Campbell and her mother, Flora Tucker, had no inkling that in a few moments, the scene would change and they would face a horror on the ground and a threat from above beyond their imaginations. Becoming entangled in a centuries-old legend, being targeted by a group of ruthless men, and discovering a long-lost love were not in Darcy's plans when she returned to her birth place, Levi, Oklahoma. She merely wanted to soak up the peace of her mother's home and try to heal the wounds left from her husband's death. Fate, however, had other plans for Darcy and Flora.
