Road to Tater Hill: Annie can always count on spending summers at her grandparents’. This summer should be even better because Mama is going to have a baby soon. Before Daddy leaves for his Air Force assignment, he gives Annie a journal for summer memories. But now Annie is grieving over the death of her newborn sister. How can she tell Daddy that ever since the baby died, Mama is slipping away? If Annie wrote those words, Mama might stay that way forever. The only comfort Annie finds is in holding a stone she calls her “rock baby.” Then Annie secretly befriends a mysterious woman who helps Annie accept her loss, while Annie hopes to draw her new friend back into the community. But all that is interrupted when a crisis reveals their unlikely alliance and leads to a surprising turn of events.

Quirky and Fun….Bet you can’t

guess whodunit!

Mystery at the Inn: It was just to be a winter vacation for the members of the Three Studs Construction Company. The construction business had been very good in the town of Somerset, Pennsylvania, and they were going to Cancun, Mexico, for a few weeks of sun and fun. Last year's vacation fiasco had the three of them almost thrown off the island of Aruba-but that was behind them, now. (How were they to know the man being chased on the beach yelling for help was the thief and the man they tackled was the policeman?) This year they would be more careful . Meanwhile, Andrew, an Archeologist studying the Mayan ruins just North of Cancun, had a serious problem. As fast as he discovered priceless artifacts during his digs, they were systematically ripped off by the local police. All his significant Mayan treasures had been confiscated by corrupt officials and sold to the leader of the Mexican underworld in Mexico City. Andrew was tired of his work being stolen from him. One day, after a major hurricane, Andrew came across a Mayan burial chamber. There, he discovered a rare gold medallion encrusted with precious gems. This time Andrew was going to find a way to hold onto his treasure. Later, while pondering his dilemma in a local Cancun bar, he met up with old acquaintenances from his home town of Somerset. Being old friends and full of Mexican beer, The Three Studs agree to help Andrew transport his medallion out of the country. The Mexican mobsters, however, follow The Three Studs back to their hometown where they will stop at nothing, including murder, to steal this rare, gem-studded treasure. What takes place when they get back to the Inn will keep readers turning the pages!
