HAVE THINE OWN WAY is the fourth volume of THE GOINS BRICOLAGE, a saga of Tecumseh and Stonewall Counties in the State of Indiana. In this volume Lamar Ainsley Goins, an inept, middleaged minister of the Gospel who despite himself achieves national and international success, is driven from the pulpit of The Temple of Holy Truth & World Outreach Center of Aschburgh by his arch-enemy The Reverend Doctor Carter Bald. After a prolonged period of depression Lamar Ainsley begins a second career in Philately as the Assistant Editor For Oddities and Rarities (AEOR) of Mingold Philatelics, Ltd. of Wapakeneta, Ohio. Frustrated in this new career by the indecisiveness and personal agendas of his employers, Lucius and Mindy Mingold, Lamars life comes to an abrupt end under murky, if not suspicious, circumstances. As Lamars life and careers are spiraling out of control, his wife Starla Leanne and his sister Step Goins Perkins are busy reinventing and reinvigorating the town of Aschburgh. When Starla Leanne gives birth to Hans Ainsley Winslow Goins, the heir to the entire Goins Empire, she is prophetically declared both the Blessed Mother and the Handmaid of the Lord, and begins to move decisively into the position of head of the Goins Family and fortune.

This digital boxed set includes books in the Midlife Magic in Eden Valley series, more than 600 pages of paranormal romance, puns, gods, demons, angels, and supernatural mysteries. Match Made in Hell: Evelyn Addams is fresh off a divorce and ready to kick up her heels. A fling with the sexy-as-hell Luc Morgenstern fits the bill perfectly. Luc was supposed to be her rebound guy, nothing more than a second notch on her bedpost, but somewhere between the first night they met and the end of the summer, Evie did something she’d promised herself she wouldn’t do. She caught feelings. Raising a Demon: Being a single mother has its challenges, but Evie never imagined that “the talk” would involve Ouija boards and pentagrams. Evelyn Addams is forty-three and fabulous. She has a great kid, fantastic friends, and doesn’t need a man to complete her. But when she catches ten-year-old Lily summoning a demon to ask for birthday wishes—and the demon who turns up is Evie’s summer fling from eleven years ago—her comfortable life is shattered. Fall From Grace: One last, perfect summer—that’s what Grace Kane and her best friend Hope promised each other. Grace has just graduated from high school and wants nothing more than to get as far away from Eden Valley and her overbearing older sister as possible. But when Hope’s head is turned by a handsome man, Grace is left watching life from the sidelines as her perfect summer slips away. Enter Quinn, the hot as hell newcomer to Eden Valley who only has eyes for Grace. Devil and the Deep Blue Lake: Genevieve Kane is happy in Seattle and is in no way concerned about the demon brand that appeared last year nor the painful—and painfully accurate—premonitions that have plagued her ever since. And she definitely isn’t longing for Sam, the sexy demon with whom she’d had a fling on her last trip. But distance doesn’t stop the visions, and all signs point to Viv being the only one who can save Eden Valley from the insatiable hunger hiding in the lake’s icy depths.

Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor husband Guy move into the Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and mostly elderly residents. Neighbors Roman and Minnie Castavet soon come nosing around to welcome the Woodhouses to the building, and despite Rosemary's reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps hearing, her husband takes a shine to them. Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant—and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare. As the sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the Castavets' circle is not what it seems...
Art Parker, an unemployed journalist, answers an ad for employment, but the ad has few details about what the job entails or where he'll be working. He gets the job after an evening interview at a huge, Victorian-style mansion miles from anywhere. The owner, an incredibly wealthy old man, hires Art as live-in writing coach for his teenage granddaughter. That sounds like an easy, relaxing sort of job, at least until the next afternoon when Art and Mary Ann--she's the granddaughter--find the housemaid dead on the girl's bedroom floor. An out-of-control sheriff, a bizarrely named lawyer, a beautiful librarian, a marvelous cook, and a huge valet/gardener clutter the landscape and add a pile of confusion while Art and Mary Ann decide to do some detecting on their own. What do they turn up? Another body. After enlisting the help of Mary Ann's friend, Jennifer, the unlikely sleuths eventually solve both murders but not before nearly becoming victims themselves.
