When Rudolph Was Kidnapped and MisBehavin’ in Moonstone

This spring brings me a new novel and several speaking engagements. I hope you can join me!

Coming April 7! Five-Alarm Fudge

The national-bestselling series continues with Ava and Grandpa Gil in the chocolate crosshairs of a deadly arsonist spoiling a visit by Belgium’s fudge-loving royal family to Door County, Wis. and the village of Namur, where a famous divinity fudge recipe may have been hidden back in the 1800s. Will the maker of Cinderella Pink Fairy Tale Fudge get her prince finally?
