To Unearth a Killer You Have to Get your Fingernails Dirty!
Archaeology Professor Mari Duggins is adjusting to life as a single mom, but she’s caught between the pull of her former flame and her ex-husband. When her colleague is murdered and her ex is accused of stealing an Egyptian artifact, Mari interferes in the FBI investigation, compelled to prove the innocence of her children’s father.
Soon she is buried deep in suspects. Her old flame, her student and tenant, the office secretary. No one is who they appear to be, and she begins to wonder where her loyalty and true affections lie. Mari Duggins’ life caves in as she tries to excavate the truth, but realizes only God can dig her out of the hole she’s created. Will Mari sort through her muddled feelings and put her trust in someone else? Or will the truth bury her alive?
“Dig into a fun story with Digging Up Death. It's got all the dirt you want--a tangled mystery, a quirky heroine, hints of romance, and page-turning action. Conroy keeps the story real and delves into the clean and the not so clean parts of life. Highly recommended." -Christy Barritt, author of the Squeaky Clean Mysteries series

Stories of Topaz'lan- A DND campaign
In the shimmering desert-coastal nation of Topaz'lan, power is art, and history is written by those who own both. High elves rule from opulent museums and marbled towers, while the disenfranchised live in the cracked shadows of forgotten stone. The continent's most revered religious figure, High Priestess Sefris, is said to bless the land even in death-but her tomb has just been uncovered... and it holds more than sacred relics. As noble guests gather for a dazzling gala celebrating the excavation, the truth is rotting beneath polished marble floors. A mysterious illness killed dozens of student laborers during the dig. A professor who tried to expose the truth was silenced. And his grandson, holding a ticket he doesn't yet understand, is about to walk into the glittering jaws of a nation built on secrecy. But divine forces stir in the sand. A cursed guide, once a cat, now a man with only nine lives to reclaim his godhood, watches closely. The ancient Bird of Ba, a magical artifact once entrusted to the Priestess, is missing its final gem. And those who touch the necklace awaken cursed-human by day, feline by night-with only whispers and visions to guide them. Your party stands at the crossroads of politics, faith, and buried sin. Will you unravel the web of deception wound by the elite? Or will you vanish into the shifting sands like the ones who came before? A campaign of elegance, corruption, ancient gods, and second chances... where every gem has its price, and every truth is buried deep.
