WITHOUT
profanity, obscenity, "steamy" romance and/or excessive gore, you may enjoy these books. Some (the Fairy-Tale Mysteries) have bits of folklore and fantasy woven into the story. All but one are set in the Missouri Ozarks.

When Sarah's imaginary childhood friend, the Man from the Sea, suddenly appears in her adult world, Sarah's happiness, and her life, may be forfeit.
Ghosts? Time travelers? Space aliens? Something weird is happening in Sheehan, Missouri.  Robert Bruce Cameron and his friends must stop it before his whole clan is zapped out of existence.
Death gave Lyssa the farm. Death may strike again unless Lyssa can help an old friend untangle the farm's dark secrets--and his own.
Maura Tasgall must unearth the evil that murdered her parents.  She expects no happy ending--even if her mother's fairy tales weren't fiction.

Constancy Grace Stafford never lived up to her middle name, but stumbling over a corpse turns into her worst trip ever. Danny Egan, town cop and master fiddler, defies a direct order to stay off the case.  Only he knows how much this waltz with danger could ultimately cost him.
Constancy's recent losses have shaken her.  Even her engagement to diamond magnate, Zared Fraser, hasn't helped. Officer Danny Egan thinks he never wants to see Constancy again.  A frantic S.O.S. proves him wrong and tumbles them both into a deadly reel that will change their lives forever.
Constancy, fed up with murder, dreams of living a normal, peaceful life.  But death at a music show, the clammy darkness of an unmapped Ozarks cave system, and a desperate fiddler's lament threaten to destroy her dream--
and the two most precious people in her life.
Constancy always dreamed of celebrating Christmas with a large family.  She's thrilled to be able to savor the holiday with her newly-
found relatives in South Dakota, but a gang of fossil rustlers and the secrets of a missing shepherd may turn Constancy's long-
awaited dream into nightmare.
