Autumn’s first lie was a whopper!

 She’s been a very good girl for twenty-two years until a dream-come-true opportunity lands in her lap thanks to the ingenuity of her book club friends. Her wealthy, overprotective parents fall for her escape plan. Although her boldness came easier than expected, Autumn wonders how long feelings of guilt might haunt her.

Still, this gift from the Fantasy Maker—a vacation to New Hampshire a few weeks before Halloween—might prepare her for a graduate program in photography. However, nothing could have prepared her for Ranger, the handsome Forest Service pilot.

Fate takes over quickly. Autumn snaps fantastic fall photos and helps Ranger with his odd, spooky inheritance project. Sparks fly, and so do their ghosts. A page-turner for readers who enjoy a little mystery with their romance wrapped up in a holiday theme and a quaint New England setting.

Anna’s new life began the moment she caught a glimpse of the flashing red light. “Time is of the essence,” the attorney had said. There was no turning back now. But what was up ahead? Secrets. Mysteries. Love.

When Anna hears the shocking news that she has a great aunt demanding to see her—her only living blood relative—Anna boards a plane and heads to the old woman’s bedside in a Seattle Hospital.

At Great Aunt Adelaide’s insistence, Anna signs a paper, without reading the fine print, that makes her the owner of the Golden Creek Ranch. She takes a leave of absence from her teaching job in Arizona to sort things out, knowing nothing about ranch life or animals.

Dan, the local veterinarian, is helpful but, at the same time, hostile—he’d expected to own this property upon Adelaide’s death. Will their love for animals and the dangers they face bring them closer together? Anna’s life, though fascinating, is complicated as her quest to create income begins . . .

A determined woman ~ An impossible dream ~ A dose of poison

Spunky Tina Thyme tells her unique story about her lifelong dream, survival skills, and her passion for creating delicious, original recipes.

First, she works as a server at the Punk Patio with a punk-rocker chef. Here she learns how deceiving looks can be. When an unexpected situation arises, Tina moves to a new job at a 1960s diner where a lecherous restaurateur requires her to resemble Marilyn Monroe.

This light-hearted, quirky, romantic comedy features two lovable main characters, one adorable furball named Sage, and lots of delicious food. WARNING: This story may awaken your desire to cook, dine out, or take a trip to the beach.

A rancher’s ego sparks a perilous adventure.

Ride or die! That’s what Clint told himself.

Frustrated after years of inactivity due to his paralysis, Clint McAllister creates a challenge, a contest that will bring the McAllister men together again. At least that’s what he told his wife, Alice. Though the idea lifted his veil of ongoing depression, it placed his sons, Trace and Troy, in great danger; it also came with a strict set of rules. Will these cowboys agree to take their dad’s challenge and ride horseback across the remote wastelands of Wyoming in the dead of winter?

Alice is furious with Clint and his foolish plan. It was almost Christmas, a bad time for such nonsense. This impossible competition had disaster written all over it, so she dreams up a secret agenda of her own that includes Hannah and Heather, her sons’ fiancés. The women head to Wyoming and prepare for the holiday. They manage to set aside their worries until too many days pass with no word from any of their men. Nothing made sense anymore. Had the covert, unspoken portion of Clint’s grand plan gone terribly wrong?

Cowboys in blizzard conditions, life-saving animals, and three women who love them all—Wyoming Sundown is a chilly adventure about a less than perfect, modern-day ranch family.

WANTED:  A FEW GOOD MEN DESIRING A FANTASY VACATION

What kind of guy responds to an advertisement like that? A stressed-out gourmet chef like JD Middleton might. With pressure from his friends, dares and double dares, he applies. AND he is chosen. Soon he will spend a week in a tropical paradise.

A small seaplane drops him off near the shore of a deserted island. It seems he’d have his solitude, but the island, though tropical, was no paradise.  Nothing but ocean, sand, and jungle. No place to get a beer or a bed. Something moved quickly toward him. An animal? A person? Darn. It was a woman named Summer. His vacation did not include women. Was this some kind of a joke, a mistake, or something more sinister?

JD’s mistrust of this so-called vacation grows, and Summer has secrets. Can opposites really attract? Is love in the stars? When confronted with life-threatening circumstances, will they survive?

SAVING MADELINE is both heart-wrenching and humorous. In the beginning, Roxy, a naïve young actor arrives in Hollywood to follow her dream and escape from her mean-spirited family. When she finds herself coexisting in a cramped Los Angeles apartment with a wounded warrior and her German shepherd, tensions run high . . . And then her mother moves in—so much for escaping.

Along comes the well-connected acting coach, James Jonathan Jarvis, and Roxy’s big break in showbiz: a part in a reality TV show with a wilderness survival theme. But a week before rehearsals begin, her mother disappears. Roxy’s search leads her close to Montana where she and Madeline become trapped in a real life-and-death situation.

Though the daily obstacles that challenge these three women are paramount, they manage to find humor in their frequent calamities, and Roxy’s Hollywood misadventures buffer the troubling glimpses into the world of a woman whose memory is fading.

Thrilling, romantic, and sprinkled with humor, HIT THE ROAD, JAKE! reinvents the ‘buddy movie’ concept with the written word … and a pretty woman. Jake and Lindsey are good at tracking down offenders responsible for petty theft and blackmail, but when new mysteries become personal—slashed tires, spattered blood, steamy love letters, a stolen pet—everything changes.

Who is this enemy that secretly harasses them from town to town? Jake calls in some favors and manages to finagle the DNA testing of several blood samples. The results are shocking, and the dangers they face become deadly.

Practically newlyweds, the couple thought they’d created the perfect win-win plan. While traveling between Tucson and Estes Park in their RV, Jake would solve embarrassing mysteries that schools wished to keep under wraps, and Lindsey, being the ‘cover’ for their presence, would conduct workshops for teachers. Then all hell broke loose.

“Cricket Rohman really nails it! She gives her readers a ton of depth in both the story line and character development. A great, fun read!”
---Lala Corriere, author of Bye Bye Bones: A Cassidy Clark Novel

Mysterious, romantic, and sprinkled with a few heartwarming students and a delightful dog, LETTERS, LOVERS, & LIES captures the importance of persistence and the power of love. Jake and Lindsey are in love, but so much stands in their way. Letters from a dead man. Unwanted advances from a transgender acquaintance. Separation and jealousy. A few things in the couple’s favor? They are smart, multi-talented, and they love to laugh.

Lindsey Lark, keynote speaker, goes on tour while her boyfriend, Jake, writes a detective novel. Sounds simple enough, but a mystery soon dominates their lives when bizarre notices of her ex-husband’s funeral arrive. Foul play is suspected and murder is on someone’s mind.

Lad, a retired Secret Service agent, is Lindsey’s right-hand man for the duration of the tour. He’s handsome, he’s a man of few words, and, as the list of threats lengthens, he takes on the role of bodyguard, much to Jake’s dismay.

“Cozy mystery lovers and romantic drama buffs will enjoy the twists and turns as Jake and Lindsey rush to solve their personal whodunit before it’s too late.”
---John Reinhard Dizon, author of The Nightcrawler Series
