BOOK 1: Cremas, Christmas Cookies, and Crooks is the 6th book in the Cape Bay Café Mysteries.

When Fran moves back to her idyllic beach town to take over the family café, she also develops a knack for solving bizarre murders. In Cremas, Christmas Cookies, and Crooks, it's almost Christmastime in Cape Bay, and another murder has everyone in town talking. A despised new drama teacher at the local high school is killed in the school's parking lot. The police arrest a beloved teacher, Mrs. Crowsdale, but everyone else thinks she is too nice to murder anyone. However, Mike, the town's lead detective, says they have solid evidence that proves she did it.

Sammy, an employee at the cafe, is particularly devastated. Mrs. Crowsdale was her favorite teacher and still her hero. Sammy begs Fran to find the real culprit. Fran isn't so sure. Mike would be angry with her for butting in on another case. And what if more danger befalls her? After all, there are some pretty dangerous people in town…

BOOK 2: Fur-miliar Felines is the 7th book in the Wonder Cats Mysteries.

Cath Greenstone, her cousin Bea, and her hippie aunt Astrid live in Wonder Falls, a small town near the mystical Niagara Falls. They run the Brew-Ha-Ha café, and naturally, they're witches hiding in plain sight along with their three magical cats, Treacle, Peanut Butter, and Marshmallow.

Cath's power is the ability to communicate with animals. She often converses with their cats, also magically inclined, and they help uncover more than one secret lurking in wonderful Wonder Falls.

In Fur-miliar Felines, it's Christmastime, but something strange and sinister is in the air. Treacle, Cath's courageous black cat, can't see what it is, but he feels a dangerous presence out there in the snow-blanketed streets.

Aunt Astrid also feels dark ripples in the dimensions. The Greenstone witches suspect this creature is somehow tied to the disappearance of two high school students. Soon, one of them turns up dead, half-eaten.

The holiday spirit is in full effect in Wonder Falls, but so is a puzzling and gruesome murder mystery.

He wants to turn part of the store into a cafe and sell books about vampires and silly romances. Maggie is horrified.
