  • Season 2, Episode 16: Chatting about SKELETONS IN THE CELLAR, a new cozy mystery
    Nov 3 2025

    Join editor Tamera Lynn Kraft and author Michelle L. Levigne as they chat about the 4th book in the Book & Mug Mysteries cozy mystery series, SKELETONS IN THE CELLAR.

    Cadburn Township has legends of a Cadburn daughter who ran off to the Civil War disguised as a boy, and never returned home. Some tells stories of her ghost wandering the township. Other legends speak about Underground Railroad tunnels reaching from Cadburn Creek to station houses -- but no tunnels have ever been found, despite diligent searching and some nasty in-fighting between different historical groups and history researchers.

    Until a very rainy fall, when Cadburn Creek floods ... But what is revealed by the flooding just brings more questions and mysteries, and digs up more recent memories and rumors.

    Grab your copy of Skeletons in the Cellar, in paper, ebook, and audio, at mtzionridgepress.com, and use the coupon code SKELETON—that’s all caps—for 10% off! But hurry -- the sale is only good through the end of November.

    And remember to come back for another episode of Books on the Ridge, to learn about another new book from Mt. Zion Ridge Press, and another discount code!
