Meet Mabel Frye.
Librarian by day, super sleuth by night.
Wait a second, that's not how Mabel's story begins.
Mabel is a Chicago native who finds herself jobless due to budget cuts and homeless thanks to her cheating ex. After sleeping on her best friend's couch for a bit, Mabel discovers she's inherited a house in Savannah, Georgia from her beloved grandmother.
With nothing to lose except her pride and possibly her mind, Mabel sets out for a new adventure––a fresh start at a library in the heart of Savannah's historic district.
The problem? Things don't go as planned. No one at the library will give Mabel a chance––no matter how hard she tries is discouraging. Getting framed for murder by one of those same employees, well, that's beyond the pale.

When Mabel Frye finds herself accused of murder, she does what any self-respecting woman would do, she sets out to find the realmurderer. It's too bad sexy detective Leo Watts keeps getting in her way.

Book 3: The Frozen Murder
When Mabel stumbles across a corpse in the freezer at work, she can't believe her eyes. No really, she's never seen anything like it. Surreal and fascinating are the words that keep rolling around in her head.

When Mabel stumbles across a corpse in the freezer at work, she can't believe her eyes. No really, she's never seen anything like it. Surreal and fascinating are the words that keep rolling around in her head.
It's too bad (for him) that her detective boyfriend doesn't want her meddling in his investigation. Also unfortunate (for him) that Mabel Frye isn't a very good listener––at least not when there's a murderer in her midst.

Give it a Whirl
*Slow Burn Alert**
Need a romance with a nice, slow burn? This friends-to-lovers story is the one for you! If you don't, maybe this one will change your mind because Matilda and Alec, well, they're perfect for each other. Perfectly opposite and perfect friends, until they're not. Happy Reading!
Matilda Conklin is always a personal attendant, never a bride. Even in her favorite cousin's wedding, she's been relegated to errand running. No matter, Matilda is able to see the bright side of things. Not because she's an eternal optimist, although, that helps.
Nope. It's because she understands how short life is and that there's no use whining about stupid stuff like terrible maids-of-honor or how she has to learn the waltz to please her cousin.
Matilda knows there's always a silver lining. This one just happens to be muscled and six-feet-tall plus of silver lining.
Alec Marchesani can't dance. Nor does he want to. Ever. But, here he is, forced by his stupid brother to learn the waltz.
The waltz! The only bright spot in this entire sh*t show is the quirky girl next to him. She's a bit too sunshiny for Alec––you know, too optimistic—but that's okay. She's funny, and if there's one thing Alec Marchesani needs in his life, it's some funny.
Maybe learning the waltz won't be so bad.

Three Besties from the Mid-Westies Podcast
Check out Three Besties from the Mid-Westies!
I grew up in a small town in Iowa. When my daughter was about to start kindergarten, we moved back to that small town. Luckily, my two childhood best friends, Lauren and Pete, had the same idea.
The three of us have been friends since elementary school and while we're all very different, there's a bond between us that cannot be denied.
The three of us decided to start this Podcast to share some of our stories, ideas, and opinions. And boy, do we ever have opinions! Also an abundance of wine which makes our little episodes more funny than they might be otherwise.
Where can you find us?
It wasn't easy but I finally figured out how to get our Podcast out there. It's currently on Apple Podcasts, IHeartRadio Podcasts, and Spofify Podcasts.
We've also got a website. Link below.
Let us know what you think but... BE KIND!
We're new at this and we're having fun so try not to rain our self-indulgent parade if you can help it. We're getting better each episode -- we're figuring things out.
Lesson One: Lauren should NOT drink Gin and Tonics while we're recording. Stick to wine, my friend. Stick to wine. LOL.
Have an idea for an episode?
Great! Email me at kaytmiller1@yahoo.com or check out the Besties Website for our contact info. (Link below.)
