There are two kinds of people no one ever expects to be murderers: little girls and old ladies. Meet Mad Mabel. Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick is eighty-one years old. She's lived on her idyllic street, Kenny Lane, for sixty years--longer than anyone else. Aside from being a curmudgeon who minds everyone else's business, few would suspect that Elsie has a past that she has worked exceedingly hard at concealing. Because when it comes to murder, no one ever suspects little girls or old ladies. And Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick, once a little girl and now an old lady, has a strange history of people in her life coming to a foul end. When a new little girl (talkative, curious, nosy) moves into the neighborhood and stops at nothing to befriend Elsie, her carefully-constructed life threatens to come crashing down as the secrets in Elsie's past start coming to light. Who was "Mad Mabel" fifty years ago? Who is Elsie Fitzpatrick today? And if the past has a habit of repeating itself, who has the most to lose? Told with Sally Hepworth's twists, humor, charm, and heart, MAD MABEL is novel that weaves past and present together--through the power of justice and redemption, and all the way to its stunning conclusion.

I enjoy walking along the shores of a local city park. I love to watch the water birds build their nests and raise their families. I love to watch the flowers on the trees, bushes and plants bloom and show off all their beautiful colors all year round. The squirrels race around gathering food. An occasional hawk or osprey will visit. But sometimes there is something a bit different to see....One day I spotted a Baby Doll floating in the water. It floated in the water for nearly a year before I could rescue her. I KNEW I could Save Mabel I hope you enjoy the story of this Baby Doll....And watch for other tales of her adventures.
