The Serial Knitters Series
Drop Stitch That Snitch
A Southern Knitter's Guide to Solving a Murder
I thought retirement was for knitting, reading, and sleeping past sunrise. Instead, I’ve been tangled up in my small town’s biggest scandal.
Twelve hours after a bitter argument with my oldest friend, she was found strangled in her own charming yarn shop. Imagine my shock when I learned I’d inherited the whole place thanks to her suspiciously updated will. Now, with motive and opportunity staring them in the face, the police have decided that I’m their prime suspect. I know I’m not guilty, but if I can’t prove my innocence, I’m sure to take the fall.
My only witness is Rumple, a sassy, talking raccoon I found injured near the crime scene and nursed back to health. Rumple might be an impossible scamp of a sidekick, but as the only witness to the crime, he’s the only one who can help me unravel the truth. The good news is he knows exactly what happened. The not-so-good news is that he only talks to me.
And if Rumple and I can’t find the real killer? There’s a very real chance that I could find myself spending retirement behind bars.
Perfect for fans of small-town charm, quirky sidekicks, and clever amateur sleuths, Drop Stitch That Snitch is a heartwarming tale of second chances, found family, and proving that retirement is anything but boring.
Kill One Purl Two
A Southern Knitter's Guide to Catching a Thief
Coming February 19, 2026
I thought owning a yarn shop would help me get better deals on my favorite luxury blends. Instead, I’m spending my days protecting high-end inventory from a clever thief who seems to have the goal of stealing from every business in town.
It’s not that I’m the police’s prime suspect this time, which is a nice change, but watching someone systematically rob the shop I inherited from my late friend rattles differently. This is my community’s business, and when the police investigation stalls, it’s up to me to find the answers.
Naturally, I turn to my partner in crime-solving, Rumple, a sassy, talking raccoon who is equal parts rescue and roommate. Except Rumple has discovered the joys of binge-watching television and absolutely refuses to leave the house. He’s developed an irrational fear of cats and a very rational preference for the couch. Getting him to help investigate is like trying to teach a yarn ball to roll uphill.
But someone has to catch this thief before they empty the shop of its most expensive stock. And if Rumple won’t go with me, I’ll have to be clever enough to solve this mystery alone.
Perfect for fans of small-town charm, quirky sidekicks, and clever amateur sleuths, Kill One, Purl Two is a cozy tale of found family with neurodivergent characters that proves retirement is anything but boring.
Loose Ends Tied Up
A Southern Knitter's Guide to Unraveling a Heist
Coming March 19, 2026
I thought hosting a charity knit-a-thon would be the highlight of Gunther’s Landing’s arts and crafts festival. Instead, I’m racing against a ransom deadline to save my assistant manager’s life.
Reid has been more than an employee since I inherited the yarn shop—he’s become family. So when he disappears from the festival and a demand arrives, I’m not waiting for the police to sort it out. Someone thinks they can steal from a charity benefiting the houseless and take one of my people? They’ve picked the wrong retired librarian to mess with.
This time, I’m not investigating alone. Rumple, my sassy, talking raccoon who is equal parts rescue and roommate, has finally conquered his fear of the outside world. He’s traded the couch for the cobblestones of Main Street, and he’s ready to help me unravel this thing—assuming he doesn’t get distracted by festival snacks first.
But the kidnapper knows more about us than they should. And the closer we get to the truth, the more I realize this crime might be connected to everything that’s happened since I first inherited that shop.
Perfect for fans of small-town charm, quirky sidekicks, and clever amateur sleuths, Loose Ends Tied Up is a cozy tale of found family with neurodivergent characters that proves some threads are worth following to the very end.
