All is merry and bright at the first Hoople’s Haven campground Christmas light contest, that is until one contestant is frozen out of the contest….literally.
Mavis Hoople and her Hoople’s Haven Campground friends decide to host a Christmas light contest to raise money to rebuild Community Church. However, Mavis soon finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation when one of her staff members becomes the prime murder suspect.
Join Mavis and her collie Lance during the holidays in a winter wonderland of snowmen, sleighs, and Santas as they rally friends and family together in the small Spring Valley community where friendships are warm, but tinsel can sometimes be terrorizing.

Fire and Faith
Hoople’s Haven Campground is located just outside of Spring Valley where friendships are warm, and the nights can be really hot!
Mavis Hoople is excited about the new pastor coming to Community Church after the Rev. decides to retire. Not everyone in town warms up to the idea of a woman leading the congregation, however. Rev. Sally Stevens is welcomed her first evening in town by vandals spray painting her car door with “Go Home.”
Mavis is determined to get to the bottom of things, but finds herself in a hot mess when fires start erupting around town and an arsonist appears to be on a rampage. Meet new friends and get reacquainted with old friends from Spring Valley and Hoople’s Haven Campground as Mavis and the gang celebrate autumn with Fall Fest and uncover many secrets that have been lurking in the neighborhood.

I’ve always enjoyed making up stories and writing. I’m thrilled that I have reached a point in my life I can take more time to work on my writing skills and share stories with others. In the stories we find release from the tough realities of the world around us, and what better time than this to just have some fun and enjoy a good story!
Dreams fulfilled…
I’ve always dreamed of writing stories since I was in third grade and won a fancy zippered binder from the Ben Franklin store. I wrote my first mystery in fifth grade English class, and if I remember it involved a collie finding a bag of diamonds. After working as a school librarian for 25 years, followed by 13 years as church pastor, I am now taking some time to play around and write the stories that have been bouncing around in my head. Thanks to my husband Dave for encouraging me and my two dogs Bailey and Molly for keeping me company as I write. The picture at the bottom of this page is me in the original "Buttercup.” Thanks, too, to our son Eric for taking my photo and to the our son Timm and his wife El for cheering me onward. Never give up on your dreams!
