Don't Take Any Wooden Nickels (The Million Dollar Mysteries, Book 2)

With a touch of romance and a strong heroine, Don’t Take Any Wooden Nickels offers more of the fast–paced and suspenseful inspirational writing readers found in A Penny for Your Thoughts. Working to provide quality work clothes to women who can’t afford to buy their own, Callie becomes involved with one young woman trying to come out of drug rehabilitation—just as she’s charged with murder. What appears to be a routine murder investigation in her sleepy waterside village suddenly becomes complicated amid international intrigue, cutting–edge technology, and deadly deception. In a desperate moment at what could be the end of her life, Callie cries out to the God who is as close as a whispered prayer.

A Dime a Dozen (The Million Dollar Mysteries, Book 3)

“He would never leave us.” Just like that, business investigator Callie Webber finds herself involved in the life of a young wife and mother whose husband has disappeared. . . possibly the victim of foul play. “I won’t go away until my husband comes back,” Luisa said, her face threatening to crumble into tears once again. “Your husband left you?” I asked. “No,” Luisa said, sniffling. “He didn’t leave. Something happened to him. And we’ll stay here until we find out what that was and where he is!” Callie has come to the beautiful Smoky Mountains hoping to award a million–dollar grant to the charity set up in her late husband’s honor. But in the search for a missing migrant working, a body is discovered, which puts the grant on hold and her new romance with her mysterious boss in peril. Trusting in God, Callie forges steadily ahead through a mire of clues that lead her deeper and deeper into danger.

A Quarter for a Kiss (The Million Dollar Mysteries, Book 4)

It’s April, spring is in the air, and Callie and Tom have just spent a wonderful few weeks getting to know each another after years of a telephone–only relationship. But as their time together draws to a close, they are called to the hospital bed of mutual friend Eli Gold, who has just been shot. Eli asks Callie to find out who is responsible for the shooting and begs Tom to help her. The search leads Tom and Callie to the beautiful island of St. John in the Virgin Islands. There they face a sinister enemy among the ruins of an old sugar plantation—an enemy who’s willing to do anything to keep his identity secret and the past deeply buried.

The Buck Stops Here (The Million Dollar Mysteries, Book 5)

When Callie learns that the man she loves is somehow connected to the man who killed her late husband, she confronts Tom. But he informs her that his hands are tied by the National Security Agency and he can tell her nothing. Despite the secrecy surrounding Tom and the NSA, Callie decides to find out for herself exactly what is going on and how Tom may have been involved in her husband’s death. Using her investigative skills, Callie throws herself into the most important mystery she has ever attempted to solve. Will their affection be able to stand the strain? And what was God’s plan in bringing Tom and Callie together—marriage or merely answers for her questions about Bryan’s death?

The House That Cleans Itself is a true housekeeping guide for the housekeeping-impaired! It boldly takes on the reasons behind chronic messiness and why ordinary home-organization books won't work. Using the methods of "horizontal thinking," this book teaches readers how to set up a home so efficiently and logically that it seems to clean itself.
More than a how-to book, The House That Cleans Itself also looks at what God has to say about cleanliness and order, and how He can inspire order in every reader's life in a fresh and unique way. For added fun, some of the tips Mindy uses come from research for her popular novels, The Trouble with Tulip, Blind Dates Can Be Murder, and Elementary, My Dear Watkins.
