These trips promised an unstrained period of time with coffee, background music, a soothing flavor... more...

Candy corn, popcorn balls, and caramel apples along with pointy witch hats, sinewy spider webs, and fluttering ghosts all embody my favorite time of year.

The Bungalow Mystery, The Mystery at Lilac Inn, the Haunted Bridge, it didn't matter which ones I had read, I just had to fi... more...

The neighborhood book store is as American as hot dogs and apple pie. How many of us remember the day when you could stroll through down town and pass family owned shops.

The small stores always had a way of feeling familiar and inviting. In this store was a place to find your dreams and adventures, they were just a few pages away. In this day and age the... more...
