Not the pumpkin pie!

If you want to read more about this interaction, and the mystery Lou's sister wraps them up in, you can pre-order this book! Available in ebook and paperback.

A wood slat background. Features an excerpt from Wrapped up in Murder: "If someone upsets her, she's more likely to put her boot--" "Really, Lou," Cailyn said from behind me, her voice still scratchy. But when I looked back, her eyes were dry. "I haven't done that since high school." "You just threatened Jack with that at Thanksgiving." "Well, he was about to take the last piece of pumpkin pie. I couldn't allow that could I?" Below that is an image of the cover in ebook format showing the protagonist with one hand behind their head, with a chimney and Christmas tree in the background.

With friends like these... Haha. I really do love writing Lou and Cord's friendship. And there's no need to act mature with someone who knows you that well.

Have you pre-ordered your copy yet? Unwrap the mystery next month!

A wood slat background. At the top is a snippet from Wrapped Up in Murder: "Well, let's get started. I'm sure I can come up with some ideas, especially for the kids." "Because you're just a grown up child?" I asked. She flipped up her middle finger and stuck her tongue out, proving my point. Below that is the image of the cover of Wrapped Up in Murder in ebook form, featuring the main character standing with a hand behind their head, and a chimney and Christmas tree with presents in the background.

A wood slat background with an excerpt from Wrapped Up in Murder: I would have thought I'd have heard by now if the infamous Lou Carsley had children." "Funny," I said, though I did not laugh. I might have smiled. Just a bit. "No one calls me that. And no kids. Just siblings who keep having them." Under that is an image of the cover in ebook format showing the protagonist standing with one hand behind their head, with a fireplace and Christmas tree in the background.

Winter does tend to slow things down for Lou, but some days are exceptions. And this one is far from over for them.

A wood slat background. The text reads: 'Thankfully, this would be my last job for the day. It had been another busy one: busted pipes--several of them, a leaking roof-- not much I could do with snow on said roof, except call in a more experty expert--, and now a hole in a bathroom floor.' Below that is an image of the cover of Wrapped Up in Murder in ebook format, showing the main character standing in a room, one hand behind their head with a fireplace and Christmas tree in the background.

#LGBTQWriteAThon Something that makes me happy:

I finished the current round of edits on Wrapped Up in Murder. I just have the listen through, formatting & 1 final proofread then I can get it to Kickstarter backers & finalize files for pre-order.

Also this exchange still makes me laugh:
screenshot of an excerpt from my novel, Wrapped Up in Murder, of a text exchange between Lou and Quin. Lou: Have you really been watching that since last night? Quin: Set up a program to snapshot any instance of her face during the relevant timespan. Nothing showed up. Lou: nerd Quin: Thank you

Solving a mystery? Easy
Having to buy Christmas presents for their large family? Difficult
Bringing Matt's family into the mix? Terrifying

Wrapped Up in Murder is up for pre-order, coming December 19(earlier for Kickstarter backers).

I finished the latest editing round on Wrapped Up in Murder earlier this week, and I'm actually ahead of schedule on this. I'm hoping to get it to Kickstarter backers by early November, and then release it to the general public by mid-December.

Another teaser from Wrapped Up in Murder.
Edits are coming along well. I should have this out to Kickstarter backers in November, which is a little earlier than I'd initially planned.

Late pledges to the Kickstarter are still open if you want to check that out.

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.

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.
