Had enough of reality?

We're living in a scary time. Every day, when we turn on the TV or the radio or go online, we're told there's something else to be concerned about - as if the current pandemic isn't enough. To me, the scariest part is all the misinformation out there, which makes it difficult to know what to believe. 

If we aren't careful, we can become negative and depressed because what we "take in" - whether we want it to or not - will affect us. But we have choices. Instead of worrying about what's next and letting reality overwhelm us, we can turn to fiction where the characters will have their own problems, which will take our minds off of ours.

Escape to the fictional town of Storyville, Ohio and immerse yourself in Kate's world.

Small towns are known for being good places to live and to raise a family. But there are secrets behind all closed doors (Secrets in Storyville) and crime in all places (Murder at Maple Ridge) and Storyville is no exception. After a string of burglaries (Out of the Woods), Kate's mother says, “First the home invasions and now this. I’m afraid to ask what’s next.”
