Meet four ambitious women who risk losing it all when they play to win... while the husband dies trying.
Amy Sparks owns Tiddlywinks Players Club at the Cardboard Cottage where the game is always afoot. She and her friends enjoy dominoes and competitive camaraderie, breaking the rules just enough to pursue life with a little moxie and mischief. When Amy learns her best friend wants husband number four gone and then he's found dead, she fears a not-so-innocent game of dominoes has turned into premeditated murder.
Who killed the husband?
Scrambled evidence and sketchy alibis compel her to uncover the truth before they all land in jail for murder. Unraveling the facts and the fibbery in a fast-paced misadventure through the back roads of Arkansas, Amy finds the courage to face her doubts and the true meaning of friendship. All while hunting down a killer on the run.
Four friends play a game of croquet on their tour of Ireland. . . and another husband bites the dust.
The Arkansas 4 win a trip to the Emerald Isle with a group of Bluff Springs compatriots. Amy, Zelda, Genna, and Rian dream of castle ruins, fairy houses, and the hunt for Rian's roots. But when a wedding ends in murder, Amy befriends the Garda Síochána to help solve the crime. When is a maid not a maid? That's the riddle Amy must solve before the killer can be brought to justice as the handsome Garda O'Shannon hopes.
Amy soon discovers everyone has something to hide, including her friend Doris. Suspects mount and so do the bodies, threatening to ruin their visit to the Emerald Isle. Between the croquet theme and the banshee screams, Amy realizes her precognitive snippets have followed her to Ireland. And, maybe even brought her closer to her family roots. Could her grandmother hail from an ancient Celtic tribe? Will Rian find her long-lost clan? It's all within the realm possibilities in the land of lore, legend, and flannel.

Four adventurous friends dive into murder while celebrating the big five-oh . . . and another husband dies trying. Zelda Carlisle's birthday cruise in the Galápagos Islands is anything but a smooth sail. Plans go off the rails after she and her three best friends bump into a dead man on deck. When there is no body, there is no crime to ruin their fun, so they hide him and hope no one will notice he's missing. When their reckless deed lands them in peril, they charm their way through shark-infested waters, a mud spa they didn't anticipate, and a sexy pirate with something to hide. Sleuthing falls to Amy Sparks, who discovers all that glitters is not gold on this dicey, deadly sea. If she can't reel in a ruthless killer, they may never leave the ship alive. Dice On A Deadly Sea is Book 2 in A Cardboard Cottage Mystery series.
