LAKE SCUGOG MYSTERIES

The Lake Scugog Mysteries is a multi-genre group of stories connected by location and the various characters we meet on the pages. All of the books are Visionary Fiction, but with various sub-genres. Book 1 has the sub-genre of Fantasy; Book 2 has the sub-genre of Cozy Mystery; Book 3 is also a Cozy Mystery and Book 4 is again Fantasy. Each is a stand alone, but the characters move from one story to the next. I hope you like the stories enough to try what may be for you a different genre than you are used to reading. All are basically clean reads and do have an uplifting, happy ending.
