About this series
Cozy Mysteries in a Small Town Where Everyone Is Having a Worse Holiday Than You
Young attorney JD Thompson looks forward to a quiet Thanksgiving week when a raging storm floods Central Texas, confining him and his partners to the Victorian mansion where they work and live. The fine print of their agreement with the house's owner kicks in, and he and his partners must run a disaster shelter for the town of Beauchamp. The flood waters creep closer to the house, the food supply dwindles, and power and internet fail while people and their pets grow clamorous, but JD's real problem is a lost child who doesn't belong to anyone in the shelter. Can JD protect the boy and find his family, or will the storm claim one more life in a long list of tragedies?
Book 4 of the Black Orchid Enterprises Mystery series includes three holiday novelettes ranging from Thanksgiving through New Year's resolutions. Stories feature Beauchamp favorites including JD's ABBA tribute band, pets, wildlife, a drag queen security force, online romances, and fierce elderly reformers working to save their corner of the world.

A Light-Hearted Christmas Tale of Going Home, Starting Over, and Murder— With Cats What if the American dream was living and working with your best friends? Millennials Johnny Ly, Dianne Cortez, and JD Thompson decide to find out when they quit their high-powered jobs to operate out of Johnny's ancestral home in a small Central Texas town. It's such a nice old house. Too bad about the murder, which they'd better solve before it ruins their Christmas grand opening. Can they rise to the occasion with their skills as a veterinarian, accountant, lawyer, and an ABBA tribute band? Bonus story: "The Way Old Friends Do" A few months into the new year, income is low for the Black Orchids, with the town of Beauchamp happily using the free coupons from the grand opening. So Dianne expands their services to what JD calls "baby-sitting old ladies"—an easy job, until the clients run away.

Book 2 of the Black Orchid Enterprises Mystery series finds Johnny Ly, Dianne Cortez, and JD Thompson trying to celebrate their first year in business in a small Central Texas town. The weather outside is frightful, and indoors isn't looking too good either, not when a crazed hairless cat invades their Christmas party and leaves a trail of destruction in his wake. The murder in the backyard doesn't help, but Johnny and Dianne are more worried about the cat. After the police reduce the suspect list from the entire town of Beauchamp, Texas, to just the Black Orchids' friends and family, Attorney JD Thompson springs into action to clear them all, preferably before Monday night's concert. Life's hard for a veterinarian, accountant, lawyer, and ABBA tribute band.
- Family Matters: Lies Across Texas: A Black Orchids Enterprises mystery, #3
3
A missing sister. Her lying twin. Their estranged father. Her brother doesn't know where to turn or whom to trust. Attorney JD Thompson leaves his practice in a small town to trace his sister across Texas. He can't believe she would run away. She was always the good twin, something the story of her twenty years, the friends who aren't, and the enemies who might be now call into question. An attempted murder convinces him that his pursuit can lead only to a corpse. Still he searches with everything he's got to uncover the truth, no matter what it reveals. The third book of the Black Orchid Enterprises Mystery series takes this amateur sleuth into his darkest mystery yet.
