Dandelions, Deception, & Detours

In the heart of Kentucky’s Daniel Boone National Forest, murder has checked into Happy Trails Campground.

When a high-profile RV dealership manager is crushed beneath a fifth-wheel trailer, it looks like a tragic hitching accident. Until the coroner rules it homicide. And Mae West’s husband becomes the prime suspect.

As owner of Happy Trails Campground in Normal, Kentucky, Mae is used to managing campfires, communal suppers, and the occasional tourist meltdown—not clearing her husband’s name in a murder investigation.

With help from the sharp-eyed Laundry Club Ladies, a campground full of watchful guests, and more than a little Southern stubbornness, Mae follows a trail that will lead her straight to the killer.

In a town where reputation is everything and word travels faster than wildfire, Mae must uncover who was really behind the wheel before Hank’s future goes up in smoke. Because at Happy Trails, loyalty runs deep. And no one messes with family.

Dandelions, Deceptions, & Detours is a heart-filled Southern cozy mystery packed with campground charm, small-town secrets, loyal friendships, and a satisfying whodunit twist.

Welcome back to Normal, Kentucky. Pull up a camp chair. The fire’s already burning.
