When Jessica Lyons is offered the role of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice, it feels like fate has handed her the chance to find her own Mr. Darcy. All Jess really wants is to meet an old-fashioned guy who's thoughtful, honest and polite-a real gentleman, just like those romantic heroes in Jane Austen's novels. If he happens to be wearing a tailcoat and figure-hugging breeches she'd consider that a bonus. But in a world where everyone is pretending to be someone else, the line between reality and fiction is never as clear as you expect. Note: This story is a *Work in Progress*. The chapters I'll be posting are edited drafts, and I don't have a set posting schedule at present. Once the story is complete I will be able to update on a more regular basis.

This is one book club meeting that doesn't go by the book. When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover discovers Naomi Pelter's dead body during a book club meeting, the other members seem shocked. But Myrtle can read between the lines. Naomi had riled everyone up by flirting with other people's husbands, arguing with neighbors, and generally making a nuisance of herself. Murdering troublemakers is the oldest trick in the book. The book club members seem too sweet to be killers, but Myrtle knows better than to judge books by their covers. Myrtle's investigation into the murder will take a more novel approach than her police chief son's by-the-book methods. Can Myrtle and her widower sidekick uncover the killer...before he writes them off for good? (This mystery will be uploaded on Wednesdays. If you can't wait for the next installment, the completed book can be found on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/o6wn4sk ) . The series is also available on Amazon India: https://tinyurl.com/ohdbffq .

It's just an ordinary day for octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover-until her yardman discovers a dead body planted in her backyard. This death isn't cut and dried-the victim was bashed in the head with one of Myrtle's garden gnomes. Myrtle's friend Miles recognizes the body and identifies him as Charles Clayborne... reluctantly admitting he's a cousin. Charles wasn't the sort of relative you bragged about-he was a garden variety sleaze, which is very likely why he ended up murdered. As Myrtle starts digging up dirt to nip the killings in the bud, someone's focused on scaring her off the case. Myrtle vows to find the murderer...before she's pushing up daisies, herself.

Cosette Whitlow is a society matron...if tiny Bradley, North Carolina, has one. She kindly volunteers for all the town's charities, but isn't nearly as kind to her own family, neighbors, and friends. In fact, Cosette is emphatically disliked by much of the town-including octogenarian Myrtle Clover. And Myrtle knows that dislike in Bradley can quickly turn deadly. No one seems surprised when Cosette's body is discovered during a party she's hosting-she was struck on the head with a croquet mallet. Wanting to restore order to the small town, Myrtle resolves to track down the killer-before the killer strikes again.

Meet Freya Beauregard; a 24-year-old from a wealthy and well-known family and a hopeless romantic with failed relationships in the past, but she knows the one constant in her life- cats. She owns a cat café called Mocha Whiskers at the Upper East Side of New York, where the main attractions are exotic and common cats alike, sharing her love of felines with other animal lovers like her. And then there's Nathaniel 'Nathan' Coleman; goodlooking, owns a successful company at 27, a man many women chase after and pretty much also comes from a wealthy and well-known family too, but there's a stark difference- he hates animals, especially felines. That, he can't get over. But when his friend tricks him into ending up at Freya's cat café instead of the hottest nightclub in town, things heat up for the worst. First things first: Freya doesn't trust people who hate cats. Secondly: Nathan doesn't like how ironically comparable the crazy café owner can be to a dog, preferably a female one. Unfortunately, there's an attraction that neither can resist- like catnip to cats. A cat's reaction is unpredictable upon its first exposure to catnip; whether there will be a mellow calmness or an aggression with no cause at all. One thing's for sure is that it's irresistible, and neither Freya nor Nathan would have an idea of their reaction...
