"The first night in the castle, Kathy is terrified by the ghost of a Lady In Blue. While the parents believe it's a case of an over active imagination, the twins are determined to discover the real secret of Connelly Castle. During their investigation they find an old diary belonging to Sean O’Brien’s father and a riding crop thought to belong to the Blue Lady, only to have both disappear from Kathy’s room during another ghostly visit. But when they find a secret tunnel, danger awaits in the shadows. Can they escape in time or will the castle's secrets claim them?"
Mystery of Lost Creek

"Buford Hayes, a local businessman, makes Aunt Bet several offers on the ranch but she refuses. Soon it becomes apparent that someone is trying to run Aunt Bet off her ranch when the barn burns down. Buford is the prime suspect. Then Pitty gets lost. To top it all off, the children visit the old haunted mine on the ranch. They hadn't believed the stories of the Wailing Prospector until he chased them out of the mine. But can the children solve the mystery and catch the person trying to ruin Aunt Bet? Can they save the ranch they all love so much?"
Piney's Summer

"Who Wants To Be A Lady, Anyway?
"Zona's adventures will tickle your funny bone as this self proclaimed tomboy tries to wiggle her way out of the trouble she creates for herself. Zona Harper, an only child, tries to make her own fun and that doesn't include anything to do with being a 'lady'. Most of the time her 'fun' gets her into trouble with Gandy, her grandfather, or her mother. Zona loves to play softball, but does give up a game to be in her cousin's wedding. Her mother insists that she looks like a lady for the wedding and gives her a hair permanent. Zona decides that maybe being a girl, even one with curly hair, might not be so bad after all.
"When Zona gets back to school with her curled hair, dress and prissy ways, she finds that the boys make fun of her, although the girls like her hair. The boys are in dire need of a pitcher for their ball games and finally have to give up their teasing and ask her to pitch for them. Zona pulls a cap down over the curls, snatches out her hair ribbon and plays ball. After the game Zona goes home with smashed hair and a torn sash. Her mother is at her wits end. Gandy says Zona may be a lady someday, but she had a few other things to do first."
