About The Death Collector (Sackets Harbor Mysteries Book 2):

Ada Whittaker thought it a good idea when her widowed sister moved to Willowdell, Sackets Harbor’s premier senior living village on beautiful Lake Ontario. But the upsurge in unexplained deaths among the residents makes her ask, when do too many incidents stop being accidents, and is Frances in danger?

Pastor Maxwell Bailey’s elder board “plopped him on the curb outside Westlake Community Church.” Bitter, he’s determined to not care about anyone anymore, until an annoying neighbor, a victim’s cocker spaniel, and the attractive Frances Ferrell draw him into Ada’s quest to identify the death collector.

Questions abound for Sheriff Meriday. Does the kidnapping of his deputy link to Simon Hilton’s bid for the NYS senate? What is going on at the shipyard? Who is handling the estates of the deceased residents? His greatest challenge is to determine which incidents were accidents and which were murder set in motion. And he would like, just once, for his deputies to find the evidence before those nosey parkers at Willowdell.

The Death Collector is the winner of the Scrivenings Press 2021 GetPubbed Contest.

About Doctor Satan: A Despicable True Story of Hope, Exploitation, Greed and Murder (True Crime):

In March 1944, as the Nazis occupied Paris, the French Police and Fire Brigade were called to investigate a vile-smelling black smoke that had been pouring from the chimney of 21 Rue La Sueur for days. Inside the house, they were confronted with a scene from a nightmare.

The thick black smoke was rising from a series of wood-burning stoves throughout the property that were stocked with human remains. In the basement, they discovered a furnace with larger body parts and a pit filled with quicklime and decay. There were suitcases full of the deceased’s belongings, and in the other rooms, they came upon something like a factory line of bodies. This was not mere murder – it was methodical processing of corpses.

The homeowner was Dr. Marcel Petiot, an admired and charismatic physician. When questioned, Dr. Petiot claimed that he was a part of the Resistance and the bodies they discovered belonged to Nazi collaborators that he killed for the cause. The French Police, resentful of Nazi occupation and confused by a rational alternative, allowed him to leave.

Was the respected Doctor a clandestine hero fighting for national liberty or a deviant using dire domestic circumstances to his advantage? One thing is for certain, the Police and the Nazis both wanted to get their hands on Dr. Marcel Petiot to find out the truth.

Doctor Satan is a chilling account of Dr. Marcel Petiot and one of the most disturbing true crime stories in French history. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the reader into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.

About Crimson Petticoats: The Betrayal, Brutality and Bloodshed behind the French Maid Massacres (True Crime):

In 1861, the police of a rural French village tore their way into the woodside home of Martin Dumollard. Inside, they found chaos. Paths had been carved through mounds of bloodstained clothing, reaching as high as the ceiling in some places.

The officers assumed that the mysterious maid-robber had killed one woman but failed in his other attempts. Yet, it was becoming sickeningly clear that there was a vast gulf between the crimes they were aware of and the ones that had truly been committed.

Would Dumollard’s wife expose his dark secret or was she inextricably linked to the atrocities? Whatever the circumstances, everyone was desperate to discover whether the bloody garments belonged to some of the 648 missing women.

Crimson Petticoats is a chilling account of Martin Dumollard and one of the most disturbing true crime stories in French history. Ryan Green’s riveting narrative draws the reader into the real-live horror experienced by the victims and has all the elements of a classic thriller.

About Due North: A Canadian Plane Crash Mystery (Butterscotch Jones Mysteries Book 1):

Welcome to the Gulch… funny things happen in the middle of nowhere.

Butterscotch Jones thought that living in the far north provided enough peril to contend with until a private plane crashed outside her hometown of McIntyre’s Gulch, Manitoba, Canada. The treasure inside the plane soon attracted both the RCMP and the Russian Mafia. For a town built upon isolation and secrecy, the citizens faced very public exposure.

“A light, fun read with an eccentric cast of characters who bring the village of MacIntyre’s Gulch to delightful life.”
—Lisa Cach, author of “Wake Unto Me”

McIntyre’s Gulch has long provided refuge to those needing to disappear off the face of the planet. Most donning red hair, the residents of the Gulch prefer to say to one another what little they have to say in a mish-mash of English and Gaelic. Unless conversing with Whiskey Jack in which the conversation is likely to just be a mish-mash. There’s comfort in the form of warmth, food and drink to be had at the Lonesome Moose, the downtown saloon and community meeting place that constitutes the bulk of downtown. There’s comfort in the knowledge that Big John will be opining vociferously from behind the bar on the latest news flown into town by the Wings with the night’s delivery.

Due North is the first book in Melanie Jackson’s bestselling Butterscotch Jones Mystery Series.
