Summary
Abigail Sutton's beloved husband walks out one night, doesn't return, and two years later is found dead, a victim of a long ago crime. It's made her sympathetic to the missing and their families. Starting her new life, Abigail moves to small town and buys a fixer-upper house left empty when old Edna Summers died. Once it was also home to Edna's younger sister, Emily, and her two children, Jenny and Christopher, who, people believe, drove away one night, thirty years ago, and just never came back. But in renovating the house Abigail finds scraps of paper hidden behind baseboards and tucked beneath the porch that hint the three could have been victims of foul play. Then she finds their graves hidden in the woods behind the house and with the help of eccentric townspeople and ex-homicide detective, Frank Lester, she discovers the three were murdered. Then she and Frank try to uncover who killed them and why...but in the process awaken the ire of the murderer.

Dinosaur Lake III
Summary
Chief Park Ranger Henry Shore has dealt with and fought real live dinosaurs at his beloved Crater Lake National Park for over six years. With the help of his rangers, a few brave FBI friends, and army soldiers, he'd been victorious over a prehistoric lake creature and years later some particularly fiendish, and clever, specimens of the flying variety. He and his newspaper publisher wife, Ann, thought their park was finally rid of the monsters and they could reclaim their tranquil life in a place they cherished. Not so. For suddenly across the park new and even more malevolent mutant species of dinosaur begin to appear and create havoc, attacking the park's visitors and threatening its peace. And this time, the primeval scourge isn't confined to just their park. The creatures have moved into the nearby towns, across the western United States, and up into Canada. They are so much more aggressive, smarter, and hungrier than any that have come before and the infestation is spreading further and faster than Henry and Ann can even imagine. This time there's no easy way to defeat the dinosaurs. There's too many of them and they're too devious. This time it's full out war and the victor will someday claim Earth.

Dinosaur Lake V: Survivors
Summary
The fifth Dinosaur Lake book
The predator dinosaurs, amphibious, land-crawlers, air flyers, small and large, were dead - dead in all the forests, mountains, deserts, towns, and cities of America and across the planet. They were still hunted, sought, and exterminated when found, and these rogue beasts were becoming rarer every day. The humans' dinosaur killing serum and extermination practices had worked far better than anyone had prayed, and they had eventually freed the planet of its primordial scourge.
The Earth belonged to the humans once more, and all its lands were safe - or so the world, Henry Shore, former Chief Park Ranger at Crater Lake National Park, and his wife, Ann, had believed...until one day, years later, two new dinosaurs, craftier than any the Earth had ever seen, appeared. One of them was benevolent, a friend to mankind, and the other was not. It was blood-thirsty, eerily intelligent, and unbelievably vengeful. This dinosaur wouldn’t be so easy to kill.
Dinosaur Lake V: Survivors is the fifth book in the Dinosaur Lake series by Kathryn Meyer Griffith.

Egyptian Heart
Summary
Maggie Owen is a beautiful, spirited Egyptologist...but lonely. While staying in Egypt on a grant from the college, she searches for an undiscovered necropolis she’s certain lies below the sands beyond the pyramids of Giza. Even this discovery doesn’t give her the happiness she had hoped it would. There has always been and is something missing. Love. Then, her workmen uncover Ramose Nakh-Min’s ancient tomb, and an amulet from his sarcophagus hurls her back to BC 1340 where she falls hopelessly in love with the man she was destined to be with, noble Ramose, who faithfully serves the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaton and his beautiful queen Nefertiti. She’s fallen into perilous times with civil war threatening Egypt. She’s been mistaken for one of Ramose’s runaway slaves and with her blond hair, jinn-green eyes, and fair skin, she doesn’t fit in. Some say she’s magical and evil. Ramose’s favorite, devious Makere, attempts to have her killed. The people, angry at the pharaoh Akhenaton for setting his queen Nefertiti aside and forcing them to worship his god, Aton (instead of their many Egyptian gods), are rising up against him. Maggie’s caught in the middle of it in a dangerous land and time she doesn’t belong in. In the end, desperately in love with Ramose, will she find a way to stay alive and with him in ancient Egypt - and make a difference in his world and history? Because, Maggie has finally found love.

The Last Vampire: Book One
Summary
Emma Bloodworth once had a normal life - a loving husband and two children, a cat, a good job in the city - and she was happy. Then, for her, everything changed...as the world ended.
The earthquakes, the global floods, and the devastating fires arrived first. The human race, displaced and panicked, fled, migrating to any place there was food and shelter. Then the worldwide plague arrived with its waves of death. And as mankind suffered and died out, vampires, their numbers dwindling from the same sickness, struggled and fought fiercely among themselves to survive in a world where there weren’t enough humans left to feed upon.
As the months went by, the vampires become fewer, more desperate, and ruthless. Emma, as the world disintegrated around her, found herself alone...the old life she’d known gone, her family and friends all dead, and fighting off an unnatural hunger as she became one of the undead.
Defying her unwanted destiny, she was determined to resist the increasing bloodlust, the need to kill and feed on human blood, and of losing her humanity for as long as she could bear it. But she was so hungry, and in the night, the wolves called. And then she met Matthew and was no longer alone.... But could the love she felt for him protect him from her hunger? Could her love protect him from the other vampires?

Witches with Bonus Witches II
Summary
Two Witch books in one:
Witches:
There are witches in the world…some are good and some of them are downright evil.
Amanda Givens is careful how she uses her benevolent powers. She doesn't want the people of Canaan, Connecticut to know they have a witch among them…even a good white witch.
For years, she's lived quietly in a remote cabin with Amadeus, her quirky feline familiar. At first with her husband, Jake, the love of her life, until a car accident; but now alone after his death.
But when she's wrongly blamed for a rash of ritualistic murders committed by a satanic cult, she knows she can no longer hide. She's the one the cult is after, and she is the only one who can stop them and prove her innocence. Yet as punishment for fighting and destroying the cult, she's drawn back in time by the ghost of the dark witch, Rachel Coxe, who was drowned for practicing black magic in the 17th century. Now, as Amanda tries to rehabilitate Rachel's reputation in an effort to save lives, as well as her own, and falls in love all over again with Joshua, her reincarnated dead husband from the future, she has to rely on a sister's love and magical knowledge, and a powerful sect of witches named the Guardians, to help her get home safely.
Witches II: Apocalypse:
The long-awaited sequel to my 1993 best-selling novel Witches is finally here!
Yes, witches exist…the good and the bad ones…and one day the two ancient adversaries of good and evil will join the fight for control of the world.
Amanda has been told her 10 year old witch-child, Lizzy, is fated to someday become one of the planet’s most powerful witches...
If she lives...
If the world survives....
Because the world is being threatened by an anti-Christ called Reuben who is prophesied to bring the end of the world by destroying everyone and everything good - including the white witches and warlocks of the world - unless he can be stopped.

When the Fireflies Returned
Summary
Where the sixth Spookie Town murder mystery was more Abby’s and Frank’s stories, their mysteries to deal with, solve, and remain alive through, this seventh book is old Myrtle’s story. Two mysteries, one from her far distant past of over 70 years ago and one for the future and a dire prediction from her grandniece Glinda, a psychic, that will affect not only Spookie and its inhabitants, but the whole world. Mysterious bones are unearthed in the ground behind Luke’s Hardware Store, and Frank and the sheriff are determined to find out whose bones they are, and how the victim died - even though whatever happened occurred over 70 years ago. This seventh novel also revisits some of Spookie’s best-loved characters and catches the listeners up on what they’ve been up to recently. Then again, the town and its people are still as eccentric and quirky as ever, and the fog is always witness to their shenanigans.

Through decades it torments, decimates, the unfortunate people whose lives it comes into until a loving married couple, Emily and Sam Walters, have enough love and faith - and the help of a mysterious priest who's much more than he appears to be - to fight against and destroy it forever - and to send it back to hell where it belongs.

Dinosaur Wars
Summary
For seven long years, chief park ranger Henry Shore has been dealing with and fighting anachronistic dinosaurs in his beloved Crater Lake National Park and in the surrounding town of Klamath Falls. It began with one lone leviathan, the one he tongue-in-cheek called Godzilla. Henry and his band of heroes defeated it but others followed: the flying varieties he named gargoyles, the mutant t-rexes and roaming velociraptors that were so much smarter than their ancient ancestors. He, his rangers and the National Guard soldiers, fought all of them, but still the dinosaurs, cunningly destructive and bloodthirsty, kept coming. No one knew where they came from or what the future would now hold for a besieged humanity, they only knew the monsters were spreading like a voracious wildfire and had to be stopped before they ravaged the world. Eventually, he and his wife, Ann, their family and friends, retreated into a fortified ranger headquarters where they continued to battle the proliferating dinosaurs. Will Henry's son-in-law, Doctor Justin Maltin, a brilliant paleontologist, find a way to exterminate the creatures and save them...save the world? And, more importantly, would he be able to do it in time? Dinosaur Wars is the fourth and final book of the Dinosaur Lake series.

All Those Who Came Before: The Sixth Spookie Town Murder Mystery
Summary
This sixth Spookie Town Murder Mystery belongs primarily to Abigail and Frank Lester, my two main characters in the six book series. It’s their turn. First off, it at long last solves the enigma of Abigail’s first husband Joel Sutton’s disappearance, and death, a decade before...the tragic event that sent Abigail to Spookie in the first place to begin a new life. The new life that would grow so big as to include a new love, a new family, quirky, but well-meaning friends, and the strange murder mysteries her new friends would drag her into over the years. As an unsolicited, and unwanted, envelope arrives from Abigail’s now dead detective she’d hired a decade before to find her missing first husband, its contents sends Frank searching for the truth. The envelope’s files are full of disturbing facts concerning the unsolved crime and it piques Frank’s interest. Soon, against Abby’s wishes, he’s on the cold trail of what actually happened to Joel Sutton - had he been a victim of just an accident, as some have always believed, or did someone murder him? In his search for the truth, Frank ends up in lethal danger when the investigation comes to a violent conclusion. This story is also about an infamous haunted house at 707 Suncrest, in the woods; about the cold blooded murders of a whole family that occurred there forty years before. Is the house on Suncrest truly haunted by the ghosts of the dead family? Is it dangerous? When Abby decides to paint a series of canvases of the spooky old house, she’ll find out. Then along with those two new mysteries to unravel, of course, all of Spookie’s quirky town characters have returned to irritate, amuse and sleuth with Abby and Frank. Will they get out of these new mysteries alive, too? Perhaps.
