About the Book

Welcome to the Barks & Beans Cafe, a quaint place where folks pet shelter dogs while enjoying a cup of java…and where murder sometimes pays a visit.

The Barks & Beans booth at the Renaissance Faire is hopping, since Macy managed to talk her muscled redhead brother into donning a kilt for the occasion. Even better, Macy’s boyfriend Titan has come for a visit, so she can’t wait to peruse the shops and watch the shows with him.

But when a well-rehearsed joust takes a fatal turn, Macy becomes a key witness. Can she believe her eyes, or did someone cloak their ruthless intent with smoke and mirrors? A late night stakeout seems the only way to determine what really happened…but someone scarier than the plague doctor is lying in wait for Macy, and this time, the damsel might not find a way out of her distress.

Join siblings Macy and Bo Hatfield as they sniff out crimes in their hometown…with plenty of dogs along for the ride! The Barks & Beans Cafe cozy mystery series features a small town, an amateur sleuth, and no swearing or graphic scenes.

Anyone else “harvest” this tiny crop when you were Anyone else “harvest” this tiny crop when you were younger? I caution everyone against eating most wild berries that look like this, but I know right where to find these in my yard and love the taste. They’re #teaberries. I wish I knew more about foraging, since my #appalachian ancestors would’ve been great at it.

It’s a lovely town for the #BarksandBeansCafe to be (fictionally!) situated in, and the fall weather was just perfect. 🧡☕️🍁 #wvauthor
