Elderberry Croft Series

On a crisp January breeze, a new girl sweeps into the neighborhood, breathing life – and perhaps a hint of magic – into the cottage she christens Elderberry Croft. The folks at The Coach House Trailer Park can’t help but fall under Willow Goodhope's spell as she charms them with her vibrant nature, her elderberry gifts, and her outrageous laughter. But there’s something about her, a secret sadness that hovers at the corners of her irrepressible smile, and it has everyone talking. Kathy Kekoa, especially, isn't so sure about this wild child living across the driveway, with her generous nature and exuberance for life, and she's keeping an eye on the stranger for everyone's sake. Usually through a pair of binoculars. And what she sees doesn't sit well with her. What brings the mysterious young woman to this dead end place? From what—or whom—is she hiding? Get swept up along with the rest of the quirky folk at The Coach House Trailer Park in this heart-changing tale of Willow Goodhope, a woman who comes to disappear... only to discover that sometimes a dead end is the perfect place to turn around and find second chances.

It's February at The Coach House Trailer Park, and that means Valentine's Day is just around the corner. For some, the day brings messages of love stuffed into pink and red envelopes in the mail. For others, it's just another day of the month, one they'd rather just pass on by without notice. Richard and Patti Davis' days stretch out endlessly before them, but lately, Richard has taken notice of the new neighbor in the cottage at Space Twelve. After the years of unconditional and often unacknowledged care and affection that Patti has poured into her family, will she lose the only man she's ever loved to the green-eyed earth girl? Or will Willow Goodhope steal both their hearts?  Find out in February Embers, the second story in the Elderberry Croft series. It's about love, and hope, and the magic that happens when the embers of love get stirred up, and the sparks start burning again.

The Coach House Trailer Park's token "Recluse Cat Lady" rarely sets foot outside her trailer. To be precise, it only happens once a week, on the same day, at the same time; if Shelly can help it. But one Friday morning in early April, Willow Goodhope from the cottage at Space Twelve shows up unannounced at Shelly's door, knocking her perfectly ordered world off its axis. When the stillness of Shelly's sanctuary is further interrupted by the Shadowman and his potentially dark intentions, she must find the courage to confront her past before she can step outside her comfort zone and sound the alarm. Pick up Elderberry Croft: April Shadows to find out what kind of darkness is lurking outside Shelly's windows...

Joe Sanderson believes that living simply is simply better living. He gardens. He cooks. He entertains Vivian. Everything is going just fine... then along comes Ms. Willow Goodhope, with her whispering shadows and her elderberry pie, reminding him of what it means to be a man. Because sometimes life is simply complicated, and when a man loves a woman, he might need to step out of his comfort zone to prove it. To her, to himself, to the whole world. Or at least the whole Coach House Trailer Park. Pick up Elderberry Croft: March Whispers to find out if the lovely Ms. Willow can help Joe Sanderson rethink his perspective.

Managing The Coach House Trailer Park keeps Eddie busy, if not exactly fulfilled. But the woman in the cottage at Space Twelve is stirring up the neighborhood; yes, indeed. Willow Goodhope is making waves, and Eddie's a little swept off his feet by the ripple effect she's set into motion. Something about the woman has every protective cell in his body on high alert. For one thing, he doesn't like the way his good-for-nothing brother, Donny, is batting his baby blues at her. He's even more disturbed by the threat of a stalker on the property, and he's determined to do whatever it takes to make sure the residents under his care stay safe. When he comes face to face with the Shadowman in the middle of the night, however, Eddie questions everything he thought he knew about Ms. Goodhope... and himself. Pick up Elderberry Croft: May Enchantment today and find out if Eddie discovers who the Shadowman really is.
