Bloodshed in the Badlands

Traveling the country to write about haunted campgrounds sounds like the perfect job, especially with journalist Wren Weaver’s loyal dog, Rascal, along for the ride.

At Forgotten Oasis, an Old West–style campground in the Arizona desert, Wren quickly learns the ghost stories aren’t just campfire legends. The sarcastic spirit haunting the abandoned saloon has opinions, secrets, and a habit of pointing her toward trouble.

When a long-buried crime resurfaces as murder, Wren’s investigation puts her at odds with the town’s young, widowed county marshal. His steady presence and growing chemistry make it harder for her to focus and even harder to leave town once the story ends.

With help from a snarky ghost, a dog who always seems one step ahead, and instincts she can’t ignore, Wren must uncover the truth before the past claims another victim.

Bloodshed in the Badlands is the first book in the Wren & Rascal’s Haunted Campground Mysteries. A cozy paranormal mystery featuring a smart heroine, a helpful ghost, a loyal canine companion, and a slow-burn romance.
