The Unsuitable Suitor: Gracie’s delight at an impromptu visit from her niece sours when the young lawyer admits she’s being stalked. With a bit of sleuthing and a dash of skulduggery, Gracie brings things to a boil while catering her church’s Blessing of the Animals.
(Absolutely loved this book! Very smooth paced, with some twists, and some funny moments towards the end. As usual, love the Christian themes and devotion. Five stars. Nemesisclaws LibraryThing.com)

The Nervous Nephew cover
The Nervous Nephew: Clayton Williams arrives in town, claiming to be the sole relative of Anna Searfoss, an elderly children’s book author. A funny coincidence, given Hollywood’s sudden interest in Anna’s stories. Gracie’s suspicions of the young pretender heighten and she sets out to learn his true identity.
