Large Print and Mega Cozy Mystery Sale
Have you heard of large print books? Do you ever read them?
I have been meaning to produce large print versions of my books for a while now. I am pleased to announce that I have finally taken the first step and published a large print version of Strawberries and Strangers, the first book in the Pelican Cove Cozy Mystery series.
Please do go and check it out here –>
Larger font means more pages. This one clocked in at 500+. So the cost is higher than your normal paperback.
With the holidays coming up, this is a great gift option for the readers in your family.
If you still haven’t read the Pelican Cove series, what are you waiting for?
There are 9 bestselling books in the series, all of them loved by readers. Get a kindle version of the first book here –>

Body at Bookstore Baffles Dolphin Bay
When a local man is found dead at Bayside Books, Anna Butler becomes implicated in a second murder. Her past connection with the victim raises a red flag the police cannot ignore. The Firecrackers start working to clear Anna of the ridiculous allegations.
Anna’s daughter Cassie isn’t making things easy. Mother and daughter argue over how to deal with the unexpected visitor, Anna choosing trust and emotion over Cassie’s more practical approach. Meanwhile, Mayor Lara, Anna’s nemesis, continues to breathe down her neck, promising dire consequences.
The Butler women are immersed in turmoil as the grand opening of Anna’s café is postponed and her dreams are threatened once again. As the murder investigation takes a bizarre turn, a certain ex-police chief provides the only bright spot in Anna’s life.
Orange Thyme Death is a sensational pageturner that will keep you guessing and leave you amazed at an ending you didn’t see coming.
