Part 1 of the Cozy Corgi Mysteries series
Estes Park, Colorado: picturesque mountains, charming shops, delightful bakeries, a cozy bookstore... and murder.
Winifred Page and her corgi, Watson, move to Estes Park to hit the Reset button on life. Fred is about to open her dream bookshop, and the only challenges she anticipates are adjusting to small-town life, tourists, and living close to her loveable mother, Phyllis, and hippy stepfather, Barry.
When Fred steps into her soon-to-be-bookshop for the first time, she expects dust bunnies and spiders... not the dead body in the upstairs kitchen. The local police have an easy suspect-Barry.
Determined to prove quirky Barry innocent of murder, Fred puts on her detective hat, and with Watson by her side, she explores her new town and gets acquainted with her fellow shopkeepers. Could one of her friendly neighbors be the real culprit? And what would be the motive for killing the owner of the Sinful Bites candy store? The secrets Fred discover put her at odds with the local police sergeant and threaten her cozy future in Estes.
With snow falling outside, all Fred wants to do is curl up by the fire with a good book and Watson snuggled at her feet. But before she can begin her new life and put her plans for her bookshop into action, Fred and Watson have a mystery to solve...

Part 2 of the Cozy Corgi Mysteries series
It's Christmas in Estes Park, Colorado: cozy fires, twinkling lights, soft snowfall... and murder.
The winter holidays in charming Estes Park lulls Winifred Page and her corgi, Watson, into thoughts of spiced chai and gingerbread as they settle into their new home. Fred's dream bookshop is becoming a reality, and with Christmas only days away, her only concerns are spending time with family, enforcing Watson's diet, and finding the perfect gifts.
The toy store beckons Fred and her friend Katie, who dash in out of the cold, during a shopping spree to discover handmade toys, cuddly stuffed animals... and a dying man on the floor.
When Katie's desperate attempts to save the man ends in her being taken in for his murder, Fred once again dons her detective hat. She puts aside her Christmas list and-with Watson sniffing around-begins a list of suspects. But as quickly as clues point to one person, new discoveries shift the spotlight to another.
With Katie's freedom in the balance, Fred has little time to think about gifts or to enjoy the holiday lights and music. A killer is on the loose, one who became violent in a picture-perfect Christmas toy shop, and Fred and Watson can't begin to predict what might happen next...

Rocky Mountain National Park has it all: rugged peaks, pine-scented forests, enchanting bird-watching locations... and murder.
The Cozy Corgi bookshop finally opens, and Winifred Page and her headstrong corgi, Watson, are ready to welcome their first patrons. With her new best friend, Katie, creating heavenly pastries in the bakery on the top floor of the store, Fred's dreams are all coming together in delicious and unexpected ways.
When Katie caters a meeting of the Feathered Friends Brigade and drags Fred along, they expect nothing more than loquacious chatter about birds as they endeavor to build a professional relationship with the owner of the wild bird shop. Fred and Katie are quickly roped into a moonlight snowshoeing hike in hopes of spotting a rare owl. While the endangered bird proves elusive... the murdered man in the snow is hard to miss.
Fred's growing relationship with Sergeant Wexler hits a snag when he forbids her from donning her sleuth hat yet again. But Fred is a lot like her corgi-she doesn't like being told what to do, even if it puts an end to a possible romance.
As Fred and Watson delve into the lives of the ornithological club members, the tangled birds' nest of an investigation makes Fred wonder if she should have left this one to the police. But when feathers begin to fly, Fred has no choice but to flush out a killer...

Part 13 of the Cozy Corgi Mysteries series
“Summer in Estes Park” is filled with tourists, wildlife, pastries, and scandal...
“The Chipmunk Chronicles”, the local newspaper, has a new gossip column-and gossip is great for the Cozy Corgi Bookshop and Bakery. Though infuriated by the way people are treated by the column's author, Winifred Page can't help wondering about the outrageous revelations. Fred's grumpy corgi, Watson, however, is more concerned with an endless search for treats than the rumors flying around town.
When Gerald Jackson, a less-than-brilliant local lawyer, is featured in the column, people begin to suspect he's working the town over in a quest for wealth rather than fighting for justice. As his status sinks, others are pulled under with him-people Fred loves.
For once, Fred and Watson are cajoled into investigation mode not for murder, but to help clear her friends' names and their tarnished reputations. But while the greed and secret dealings in the dark she uncovers bring more questions than answers, murder finds a way to make an appearance after all...
