In the quiet Southern town of Magnolia Bluff, stories are treasured…but some secrets were never meant to be read.

When bestselling author Azalea Sinclair returns home for a celebratory book signing at The Borrowed Book, the town’s beloved independent bookstore, it should be a night of nostalgia, laughter, and familiar faces. Instead, the storm of a lifetime rolls in, the power goes out, and a group of friends, neighbors, and longtime supporters find themselves trapped inside the shop together.

But not everyone will make it out alive.

As candlelight flickers and tensions rise, Magnolia Bluff’s most formidable women—the sharp-witted, fiercely loyal members of the Last Supper Club—begin piecing together what the storm has revealed. With phones dead, doors locked, and the truth hiding in plain sight, the line between comfort and danger grows dangerously thin.

Every guest has a past. Every kindness has a shadow. And every detail matters.

Blending classic whodunit storytelling with the warmth, humor, and emotional depth Magnolia Bluff readers have already come to love, "Murder At The Borrowed Book"is a meticulously crafted cozy mystery that asks a chilling question:

What happens when the mystery isn’t fiction?

Perfect for fans of:

Cozy mysteries with strong female characters

Small-town Southern fiction

Bookstore mysteries

Locked-room whodunits

Emotional, character-driven suspense

If you love mysteries filled with heart, sharp dialogue, unforgettable characters, and a solution that feels both surprising and inevitable, then you're going to love coming back to Magnolia Bluff.

The truth is waiting on the shelves.

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.

And if you're already a fan of any of the other titles from Ricky Fitzpatrick that make up the Magnolia Bluff Murder Mystery series, then The Candy Cane Killing is a must-have addition to your growing collection of small-town, rural, Southern yarns.

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?

Life Not Ours is a haunting fusion of science, philosophy, and cosmic dread from author Ricky Fitzpatrick. A gripping near-future thriller that explores what happens when the universe stops being silent.

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.

In the South, football’s a religion…but murder is one game you can never win.

The ladies of the Last Supper Club have faced their fair share of small-town scandals and secrets. But when a surprise invitation lands them field-level seats at the UGA vs. Tennessee game, they pack their casseroles, scarves, and sensible shoes, ready for a weekend of Southern pageantry and gridiron glory.

What they don’t expect is a dead millionaire slumped over his bourbon before the third quarter ends.

Tom Calder, a smug and powerful football booster with more enemies than friends, drops dead in the middle of the biggest game of the year. And the only thing more shocking than his death…is how many people are glad he’s gone.

From the sidelines of Sanford Stadium to the streets of Athens, Georgia, Ruby, Dot, Dora, Lurlene, and Edna Mae dive headfirst into a mystery thick with secrets, money, and scandal, all hidden behind red-and-black banners and booster club smiles.

But bless their hearts if they’re gonna let a little thing like jurisdiction get in their way.

Funny, fast-paced, and full of heart, The Red Zone Reckoning is a cozy Southern mystery where football meets faith, friendship, and foul play. And the women of Magnolia Bluff prove, once again, that there’s no mystery too big for a little nosiness...and a lot of Jesus.
