Grant's Crossing
About this ebook series
Twenty-eight-year-old Alysha Grant has inherited a large, rural, family property – Leven Lodge. A converted farmhouse is now home to a small, but eccentric, group of retirees. She feels overwhelmed and totally unprepared for this responsibility, but dives in.
Her arrival coincides with a body found floating in the Alder River. The suspicious death brings attention to some of the home’s residents and may be connected to a proposed casino. Opinion is divided on whether the development, to be built on a former sawmill location once belonging to Alysha’s family, will be a good thing for Grant’s Crossing.
Alysha and her life partner, Jeff Iverson, settle into their new duties, learning about the home’s residents and what makes them tick, when another body is retrieved from the river. Coincidence? Alysha and new friends, voice their suspicions regarding the town’s shady naturopath—Dr. Reid Harrison—and vow to keep him away from those who live at the lodge.
Despite their best intentions, Alysha finds her own life threatened, when true motives around the casino are revealed.

Life partner, Jeff Iverson, doesn’t always provide the emotional support Alysha needs when his focus is overseeing the birth of new alpacas. Will Alysha decide the unwelcome romantic interest is maybe not so unwelcome after all?
She struggles to keep her life, home, and career plans in perspective, while dealing with an irritating temporary guest, and discovering the history behind one resident’s eccentric behaviour. Will she regret her decision to stay on as owner of Leven Lodge?
An unused cinema on the main street has been undergoing renovations, but work comes to a halt when a woman’s body is discovered buried beneath construction materials. There is no shortage of suspects, but when Alysha’s partner, Jeff Iverson, is questioned, then it becomes personal to her, and Leven Lodge.
The murder in Grant’s Crossing affects more than one relationship – one with a deadly outcome. Amid their preparations for the Annual Fall Fair, and Halloween, Leven Lodge’s residents have more than enough to keep them busy. Minnie has returned and a new couple have also settled into life at the lodge.
The colourful characters who call Leven Lodge home will see some changes, for Alysha most of all. But with the support of Dianne, and Jan, she learns how to Stand Fast and weather the storms this season brings.
