Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tranquility of the Pacific Northwest is interrupted by murder most foul in these two mysteries featuring the bookshop owner and amateur sleuth. Holliday Beach, Oregon, offers Conan Flagg the perfect change of pace from his days in Army Intelligence. But running the local bookshop and rental library is not without drama of its own—from local gossip to the occasional murder. Curiosity Didn’t Kill the Cat When Capt. Harold Jeffries is found dead clutching a copy of Crime and Punishment, his wife insists he was murdered—even if the police call it an accident. Conan is surprised to discover all the clues lead back to his own Dickensian establishment. With passing assistance from Meg, the bookstore cat, Flagg baits a trap to catch a rat—only to uncover a sinister scheme that reaches far beyond his lazy seaside village. A Multitude of Sins An Oregonian heiress and concert pianist wants Conan to find out who’s been following her. But she’s strangely quiet when asked for details of her father’s death. In fact, she declines to talk about the family at all. Conan soon realizes that just beneath his client’s reticence is a case as dangerous as dynamite. He thinks he knows who has the matches, but he can’t be sure. And proving it may just set it off.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these three mysteries set in a Pacific Northwest seaside town, a bookshop owner gets an extra dose of drama moonlighting as a private eye. Dead Matter When celebrated author Ravin Gould is murdered in Holliday Beach, the obvious suspect is Cady MacGill, who just so happens to be the sheriff’s son-in-law. Everyone, including Gould’s famous actress wife, heard Cady threaten the writer in the Holliday Beach Bookshop. But bookstore owner and PI Conan Flagg isn’t convinced. Not with an election for sheriff coming up. Not when a flock of publishing executives have descended on Holliday Beach, lured by the tell-all memoir that Gould just finished. Not when said book just vanished without a trace . . . Wake Up, Darlin’ Corey It seemed to Conan Flagg that the police were asking too few questions about the fatal automobile accident that killed his good friend Corey Benbow—especially since it’s common knowledge in Holliday Beach that more than one person stands to gain from her death. Now Flagg is asking questions of his own—like who had motive and opportunity to commit murder. King of the Mountain When conservative millionaire A. C. King hosts his annual house party at his mountain lodge, the air is tense with the presence of his beautiful second wife, the animosities of his two older sons, and the tippling of his flower-child daughter-in-law. But it is the unwelcome arrival of his youngest son, Lucas, with a new fiancée in tow, that is the true kiss of death. Even PI Conan Flagg, an old family friend, doesn’t foresee the sudden tragedy that leaves the party vulnerable to a cunning killer. As a blizzard seals their isolation, Conan attempts to identify the murderer among them before tragedy strikes again . . .

George’s friend Conan Flagg suspects otherwise. Digging through both families’ secrets, Conan finds plenty of motives for murder, including revenge, romantic entanglements, and something frighteningly unnamable . . . Nothing’s Certain but Death When IRS auditor Eliot Nye is found murdered, no one is at a loss for a suspect. Nye had been investigating Brian Tally, owner of Surf House Restaurant, for tax fraud. He was last seen alive in an altercation at the Surf House where Tally swung at him. But bookstore owner and amateur detective Conan Flagg knows that any IRS auditor as persistent at Eliot is capable of making plenty of enemies . . . Seasons of Death Forty years ago, silver mine owner Leland Langtry ran off with his secretary and a small fortune in company funds. Or so everyone believed.

But Tom’s widow, refusing to see her husband’s name ruined, hires Conan Flagg to dig up forty years of buried secrets to finally get at the truth.

Book excerpt: “A poignant expression of the durability, grace, and potential of the human spirit” set in a post-nuclear dystopia where words are worth killing for (Jean M. Auel, author of the Earth’s Children series). By the late twenty-first century, civilization has nearly been destroyed by overpopulation, economic chaos, horrific disease, and a global war that brought a devastating nuclear winter. On the Oregon coast, two women—writer Mary Hope and painter Rachel Morrow—embark on an audacious project to help save future generations: the preservation of books, both their own and any they can find at nearby abandoned houses. For years, they labor in solitude. Then they encounter a young man who comes from a group of survivors in the South. They call their community the Ark. Rachel and Mary see the possibility of civilization rising again. But they realize with trepidation that the Arkites believe in only one book—the Judeo-Christian bible—and regard all other books as blasphemous. And those who go against the word of God must be cleansed from the Earth . . . In this “thought-provoking” novel of humanity, hope, and horror, M.K. Wren displays “her passionate concern with what gives life meaning (Library Journal).

Book excerpt: "I'LL BE ON YOUR PATIO AT FOUR O'CLOCK. IF YOU AREN'T THERE, I'LL UNDERSTAND...." This is the gist of the mysterious plea for help that Conan Flagg finds lying on the counter of his Holliday Beach Book Shop. The writer is beautiful Isadora Canfield, a concert pianist and daughter of the late Oregon Senator John Canfield, in whose will she would become a millionairess. Isadora wants Conan to find out who is keeping her under twenty-four-hour surveillance, but she becomes strangely quiet when asked for details of her father's death and of how she had spent the weeks following. In fact she is disinclined to talk about the family at all--not her blind stepmother or her irrepressible stepbrother or her sadly altered stepsister, Jenny, who had once been a promising artist. Conan soon realizes that he and his gifted client are sitting on dynamite. He thinks he knows who has the matches, but he can't be sure. And proving it, is dangerous work, even for a pro like Flagg.

Two orphans grow into powerful young women as they face countless threats to find their way back to each other. Farleigh is just an orphanage. At least, that's what the church would have the people believe, but beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king's ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place — while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins. Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for each other.

Captain Harold Jeffries, swaddled in his robe, had settled down for a cozy evening with Crime and Punishment when his wife left the house for a bridge party. An hour later he was dead. What could have induced him to dress and go out into the stormy night—much less to walk on the beach, which he hated and never went near?

With passing assistance from Meg, the bookstore cat, Flagg baits a trap to catch a rat—and finds himself dangerously involved in a crime with implications far beyond this lazy seaside village.
