Murder never felt so merry…

Magnolia Bluff’s Christmas parade is supposed to end with cocoa and carols...not a corpse in angel wings. But when the town’s most notorious busybody is found murdered and staged like a nativity prop, Ruby Lynn Hightower and her fiery Southern daughter Talulah are pulled into a small town mystery wrapped tighter than your Aunt Bessie's Christmas presents, and heavier than a Baptist fruitcake.

With suspects ranging from a furious choir director, and a disgruntled baker, to a vanishing Santa Claus, the Bluff’s holiday spirit gets tested by secrets, grudges, and one very deadly candy cane.

Cozy Southern charm, small-town gossip, and holiday intrigue collide in The Candy Cane Killing, a can’t-miss Christmas mystery perfect for fans of quirky characters, festive settings, and a dash of danger with their fruitcake.

Mars was never dead. It was only waiting.

When Dr. Elise Kael left planetary research, she swore she’d never chase ghosts again. The dream of discovering alien life had cost her everything...her reputation, her funding, her faith in science itself. But now, buried in the shimmering lattice of a Martian gemstone called Ares Glass, she’s found something she can’t explain.

It moves when it shouldn’t. It reacts when observed. And the people who possess it…are dying.

As panic spreads and RedLine Materials scrambles to protect its trillion-dollar industry, Elise teams up with a rogue network of scientists and hackers to uncover what’s really hidden beneath the red surface. Their investigation unravels a chain of secrets that reach from the first failed Mars colonies to the highest levels of corporate and government control.

What they find will challenge every definition of life, intelligence, and survival that humanity has ever held...and force Elise to confront a terrifying question:

What if the thing we’ve been searching for all along…has finally found us?

In Deadwood, Georgia, something is alive…and it shouldn’t be.

When a storm topples a two-hundred-year-old black walnut, known by locals as the Deathwood Tree, third-generation woodworker Billy Harlan sees only good lumber and a way to keep his family’s struggling business alive. But when he begins to mill and shape the ancient wood, something stirs beneath the grain.

Whispers. Shadows. Faces that shift where no faces should be.

And as orders for Billy’s Deathwood furniture begin pouring in, the wood’s eerie beauty draws attention from far beyond Deadwood’s borders…and begins to consume more than just his time. What starts as craft becomes obsession. What was once creation becomes something far darker.

His wife Emma Jean and their daughters watch as the man they love slowly disappears behind the undeniable pull of the wood, drawn deeper into the strange heartbeat of the tree that should have never been saved.

Because in Deadwood, Georgia, the past doesn’t rest quietly. And some things were never meant to be touched.

“It’s just wood.”

A chilling Southern Gothic novella of faith, obsession, and the things we create that might one day become sinister masters over us.

Fans of Stephen King, H.P Lovecraft, and T. Kingfisher’s Southern horror will feel right at home, and deeply unsettled…in Deadwood.

Second Helpings is the long-awaited follow-up Southern Mystery novel, to Ricky Fitzpatrick's debut title, The Last Supper Club, and is the second book in the Magnolia Bluff Murder Mystery series.

When Talulah Mae Hightower returns to her hometown of Magnolia Bluff, Georgia, it isn’t for family, tradition, or the fried chicken. It’s because her marriage has collapsed in scandal, and she needs somewhere solid to land. But what was meant to be a short stay with her strong-willed mother, Ruby Nell, quickly turns into something far more complicated.

Within days of Talulah’s unannounced arrival, Clara Belle Boone, a beloved older woman in town, turns up dead under suspicious circumstances. Add to it, the fact that Clara has a life of her own secrets that no one would’ve suspected, and that spells out a recipe hotter than your mama’s Cowboy Candy. Soon, whispers begin to circulate that something darker is unfolding behind the sweet tea and small talk…and that would be correct.

With the help of a old-soul sheriff, a slick-talking (soon to be) ex-husband with baggage and secrets, a mysterious stranger who’s being a little too un-friendly, and a cast of very Southern ladies who could cut you to the quick, then be the first to hand you a band-aid for it…Ruby and Talulah begin untangling a humid, Georgia web that stretches all the way to a forgotten Southern crime syndicate and a past some would kill to keep buried.

Along the way, Talulah struggles to reconnect with her lost romance, who happens to be the town sheriff and her high school sweetheart, whose own past is tangled up in the case they’re trying to solve. Meanwhile, Tyler Granger, Talulah’s disgraced ex, returns to stir up trouble and tug at Talulah’s fragile heart, dragging danger closer to home with every smug smile.

Family ties run deep, and you’ll soon discover that Magnolia Bluff has a funny way of revealing its truths…sometimes in prayer circles, sometimes in pie crusts, and sometimes at gunpoint.

In the end, Second Helpings isn't just a story about solving a murder. It's about finding your way back home, even when home has changed…or maybe when you have.

We ship all orders the following weekday, except on Holidays and previously announced wait times.
