Pelican Cove Book 9 coming soon!

by 2 Comments

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well.

the eighth book in the Pelican Cove Cozy Mystery series ended unexpectedly. Many of you wondered if the series had ended. I have been flooded with emails and messages asking me if and when the next book is coming. I know only a small percentage of people actually write in (thank you for doing that). I am sure plenty of you who haven’t written in must be wondering the same. So I thought I would write a brief note to put all your concerns to rest.

Book 9 is coming, and coming soon. You can expect a cover reveal in a week or two. I am planning to put this book on preorder. It will be released around the end of April or in early May. This will be the first time I do a preorder for the series.

The paperback giveaway is still on. I will keep it going for another week or ten days. All you have to do to enter is talk to a friend or family member about my books and leave a comment saying you did so. That’s it! You stand to win a paperback copy of Strawberries and Strangers.

In other news, the Truffles and Troubadours paperback should be up soon.

Work on the new series is progressing at a steady pace. But it’s too early to tell you anything more about it.

With the Pelican Cove series, we have found that many people are either for Adam or against Adam. Some people are also against Jason. So which camp are you in? Adam or Jason? Or neither? Or you don’t care?

Please leave a comment below and let me know.

Until next time then!

Hello and Happy New Year! Hope you all have a happy, healthy 2019.

How long do you think it’s okay to wish people new year? 🙂 I know I’m a bit late with my wishes.

I am busy plugging away at the next book which is coming your way soon. So this is going to be a really brief one.

There was overwhelming response to the last giveaway and I thank you very much for it.

The answers were interesting. A big part of you want the next series in a beach town. The other big group wants it in the midwest. And then there are those who have mentioned a third location.

You have given me plenty of new ideas and one of you even hit upon what I am thinking.

I know you are eager to know the results.

The winner of the giveaway is – Nancy Burgess!

Congratulations Nancy! Please write to me with your emai id so that I can send you your Kindle book right away.

What have you been reading since winter set in? I read Jeffrey Archer’s Heads You Win. It was a bit unexpected, to be honest. Some parts didn’t make sense at all.

What authors do you like to read? Do you read genres other than cozy mysteries? Please do leave a comment and let me know.

Stay safe and warm! Until next time …

Farewell 2018 and a Giveaway

by 35 Comments

It’s that time of the year, time to say goodbye to the year gone by. If you are like me, you probably can’t wait for these last two days to be done already so that you can party on New Year’s Eve. But a part of me also wants to hold on to these last vestiges of 2018.

One big task I got off my plate – the entire Pelican Cove Series is now available in paperback!

I’m making plenty of new goals for 2019 and am eager to get back to writing after the holiday season. There are a couple of new series in the offing with more feisty women like Jenny and Meera. Needless to say, I’m excited!

The last giveaway I ran had great response and I thank you all for it. I am giving away another Kindle copy of Strawberries and Strangers. All you have to do this time is answer a simple question for me. Please leave a comment below with your answer.

Giveaway Question

Where would you like my next cozy mystery series to be set? Your options are as follows –

A – another beach town

B – in the Midwest

C – Any other place (please mention the general location)

That should be easy enough?

I will keep the giveaway running for a couple of days after New Year’s Eve.

Book 8 in the Pelican Cove Cozy Mystery series is coming soon.

Before I go, I bring you the last cozy mystery sale of this year, an eclectic collection of cozy mysteries put together by fellow authors. You can click on the link below to go the sales page. Another fellow author, Chelsea Thomas, has just released a new cozy series. It sounds like a great read and I have already added it to my reading pile. I hope you check it out.

Cozy Mystery Sale

Apple Die

When Chelsea Thomas was left at the altar, she moved home to live on the family orchard with her quirky aunt, Miss May. All Chelsea wanted was hot cocoa and apple pie. Then she found a dead body. Face down in her favorite stream. Now she’s in the middle of a murder investigation, and a killer is on the loose in her quaint small town.

Miss May is a former New York City lawyer, so she thinks she and Chelsea can catch the criminal on their own. Local business owner Teeny is nosy, opinionated, and convinced the murder was inspired by her favorite British mystery series. And Chelsea is caught up in the amateur investigation, a timid Watson on her first case.

Will the stress of the amateur sleuthing be enough to break Chelsea for good? Or will it be exactly what she needs to get over her ex, and learn to be happy?

Most importantly, will this rag-tag crew find the killer before he strikes again?
