I’ve been describing this title as “What happens when the teen sleuth’s sidekick grows up and wants to get even?” (The Peach & Knife Club Buttons will make SO MUCH more sense after you read it!)

This quote by Jorge Luis Borges about libraries feels so true. He was a writer from Argentina and I love that he wrote books and loved books. "I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library."

First teaser for Wrapped Up in Murder! The Kickstarter is fully funded, but we're reaching for some stretch goals now. This will go out to Kickstarter backers by early December, & to the wider public probably in January.

#booksky #kickstarter #cozymystery 🌈 📚
A teaser from my upcoming release, Wrapped Up in Murder: "Nun on a bun," I muttered. "I really thought I had more time." I groaned as my dog looked up at me, ears perked as if I had his full attention, his tail wagging back and forth. His broad chest and blocky head might make people think he was intimidating, but the most the gray pitbull mix had ever attacked was a dust mote. Possibly a bee. But, he seemed to have learned his lesson with that one. Below that are images of the book in ebook and paperback as well as an accompanying bookmark. Next to those is the big K kickstarter logo in green.

I was recently putting a hold on a book at my own local library and searched up my own books like authors do. I was so excited that not only were my books checked out, there's a wait list for two of them! This totally made my day! Whoo hoo! Yay library readers! #booksky #lovelibraries #cozymystery

You take a book everywhere you go? Readers yes. You wouldn’t rather just talk to people? Also readers get out.
