Call-in radio host Ashley Compton is Las Vegas’s best friend when it comes to giving relationship tips to strangers. But when a repeat caller is found murdered after exposing her woes on the air and accepting the challenge to put up or shut up, Ashley questions if her homespun advice was the catalyst for the murder. Afraid of losing her job and destroying her reputation, Ashley heads to the seedy side of Las Vegas to snoop around. There she encounters shady dealings: lies, gambling, adultery, and potential criminal activities. When her two-timing and felonious suspects spout glib excuses to justify their behaviors, she digs deeper and is threatened, injured, and gets what she dishes out: advice she doesn’t always like. Can Ashley’s sleuthing skills catch the killer, or will she end up just another crime statistic? Can she save her career, or will she be put on the Do-Not-Call list?

Cozy Mystery

4th in Series

Setting: Arkansas

Independently Published

Publication date: ‎ February 24, 2026

Print length: ‎ 242 pages

Digital ASIN: ‎ B0GF38FDVD

Welcome to Osage Springs, where small-town charm meets big trouble.

When Claire O’Keefe’s father suffers a stroke, she puts her plans to teach overseas on hold and returns home to Osage Springs, Arkansas. Between caring for her parents and reconnecting with her roots, she expects a quiet few months—until a chance encounter at the grocery store changes everything.

An old high school classmate, now an English teacher at Lakeside High, asks Claire to fill in during her maternity leave. It sounds simple enough—grading essays, managing teenagers, and maybe sneaking in a lakeside walk or two. But when a fellow teacher is found dead in Beaver Lake, the sleepy Ozark town turns tense, and Claire once again finds herself drawn into a mystery she can’t ignore.

This time, the sheriff’s department is asking for volunteers to aid the search, and Claire can’t resist lending a hand. But as secrets rise to the surface, she begins to wonder if the lake is hiding more than just one deadly truth.

Can Claire help solve the case before the next body surfaces… or will she be the one caught beneath the calm, cold water?

Faceless by B.J. Quander ~ @RABTBookTours #RABTBookTours #Faceless #BJQuander #Romance

Faceless by B.J. Quander

Contemporary Romance

There are three things that I know about myself:

 

1. I am a woman of no importance at all.

2. I am a woman who, one day, fell in love with the least likely person.

3. I am a woman who faced the worst aspects of herself—and vows to never go back.

 

Briseis Cunningham—plain and ordinary!

 

After the 2024 Presidential Election, Briseis, a patriotic tour guide, felt like she wanted to take a tour of her own city of Philadelphia, looking for resolution in the past. While sitting on the tour bus, she has flashbacks of the last three summers, and what was occurring in her country at the time. Weighted down by the worries of the choice her nation just made, she undergoes a great deal of soul searching.

 

Beginning with one summer, in 2022, she accepts a job, working at the Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival. While there, she meets all the talented performers, but one stands out the most: Jin Chang, a Face Changer.

 

From there, it all begins!

 

Follow the tale of an American woman who stumbles on love for a man from another side of the world… and while also having to come to terms with what has just happened in the United States, her fear of the loss of the American Experiment, and her worries of where her country is headed.

About the Author:

 

 Hello, readers! My name is B. J. Quander, and I am an American Revolution history enthusiast, who has always been compelled to learn about the origins of the United States of America, as well as the countries that created it, that have inspired it, and the native nations that this land belongs to.

I also have a great respect for the constitution, the law, and strictly upholding it. After all, many of my fellow Americans, along with other nations who have helped us, have died for the American Experiment to live. Being a native Philadelphian, I have felt the tie that connects us back to the foundations of a war that was fought on principles of a free government and defiance against unchecked authoritarianism. Did we fail? Plenty of times. But the dream still was there, and it felt real. Or it did once. This book I wrote is about a heroine who worries about the sun setting on our nation, as opposed to the sun rising on it, while also being willing to fall in love. Thank you for stopping by.
