Sheriff of Sassy Crimes: BOOK FIVE (Ghost Town of SoreAss Creek - Whiskey Gulch 5)

Welcome back to Whiskey Gulch — the haunted Idaho mountain town where the whiskey glows, the dogs run the show, and the sheriff fines folks for standing too sassy.

When the dust settles from the gold mine disaster, Sheriff Ezekiel “Zeke” Hollerbrand decides it’s time to bring “law and order” to the living and the dead alike. Unfortunately, Zeke’s laws make about as much sense as a ghost poker game. Jo McGraw barely has time to fix her coffee before she’s slapped with a ticket for “improper leaning.” Peach gets arrested for “flirtation without a license.” Even Booger, the golden retriever legend, ends up behind bars for “excessive wagging.”

But Grandma Mavis isn’t having it. Armed with a whiskey flask, a bad attitude, and her own brand of frontier justice, she tears up her citation and dares the sheriff to “try again.” Before long, the jail’s overflowing with dogs, the telegraph’s tattling on everyone, and the Yorkies are leading a protest march wearing tiny bow ties.

Meanwhile, MooDonna — the cow who refuses to follow rules — gets her day in court, Zeke’s deputies declare war on each other, and Jo just wants to keep the peace (and her sanity) while the ghosts cheer from the sidelines. The result? A lawless, laugh-out-loud battle of wills where everyone’s guilty of something — mostly being ridiculous.

Sheriff of Sassy Crimes is Book Five in the uproariously funny Ghost Town of Whiskey Gulch series — a comedic paranormal Western that blends small-town satire, ranch life, and ghostly absurdity into a story that’s as heartfelt as it is hilarious.

Set against the wild beauty of Northern Idaho’s Bitterroot–Clearwater mountains, this novel delivers a perfect blend of frontier grit, ghost-town chaos, and laugh-until-you-snort humor. From pine forests and trout creeks to glowing jail cells and whiskey-fueled trials, you’ll fall headlong into a world where the supernatural feels right at home with stubborn ranchers and sassy grandmas.
