Hello there! I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy and safe.
As you must have guessed, I have some news. Blueberry Chai Frenzy, Book 5 in the Dolphin Bay series, is now Live. You can buy or borrow it from Amazon here –
This book was written during the quarantine/ lockdown period and is dedicated to healthcare workers across the world. You can read more about it in the book.
Some of you may remember, Pancakes and Parrots was going to be my 20th major release. But turns out, this one came first so it’s actually Blueberry Chai Frenzy that is the 20th.
I am celebrating by giving away three Kindle copies.
You can enter the fancy (I hope) giveaway below. I am using this software for the first time so please bear with me in case there are glitches. This system is designed so that you can do multiple actions to enter and each action is counted as one entry. Not too shabby, huh?
If this goes smoothly, I am planning to use the same system to set up a giveaway for Pancakes and Parrots. I did warn you that this summer was going to be flooded with them. π
So without further ado, a brief blurb for the new book and the giveaway.
I hope you enjoy the book and leave a review (I always hope that).
Please also leave a comment and say Hi. I love comments!
Blueberry Chai Frenzy

Man Found Dead On Park Bench
The Butler women are thriving. Anna’s Cafe is a big success and her friendship with ex police chief Gino Mancini is progressing slowly but steadily. Now she wants to focus on finding her husband John’s killer.
When a man is found dead in the botanical garden, Anna feels obliged to help Gino investigate.
The police suspect the old man’s son, a hostile young man with a clear motive. For the first time, Anna is inclined to agree with them.
As details of the crime emerge, Anna realizes the dead man was hated by many. False alibis, feuding neighbors and estranged family members keep Anna going around in circles. The truth seems elusive as every clue Anna pursues proves to be a red herring. Faced with secrets and lies at every turn, Anna banks on her girls for much needed support.
Meanwhile, spring has arrived in Dolphin Bay with a profusion of wildflowers and incessant rain. Everyone is looking forward to the annual spring fling festival. Will a rotten old oak foil their plans?
Blueberry Chai Frenzy is a fast paced murder mystery that will keep you guessing till the end.
If you like cozy mysteries featuring strong women, scenic small towns, yummy food and a dash of romance, you will love this latest instalment in the Dolphin Bay Cozy Mystery series.
Buy now and escape into a clean, comforting cozy mystery.
