 Hello, readers! I've cooked up a special surprise for you - a holiday short story.

Ever since I published Curses, Boiled Again, the first book in the Lobster Shack Mystery series, I've had readers asking for a Christmas story. The more I thought of it, the more I wanted to wrap up Allie in a holiday mystery. So in the story, she and Aunt Gully volunteer at a Festival of Trees fundraiser hosted by the formidable Dagmar Smith, the self proclaimed Queen of Christmas. When Dagmar's diamond necklace is stolen, Allie must unravel a blizzard of clues to uncover the thief. It's only 99 cents on Kindle and is free for Kindle Unlimited readers. Enjoy!

What's Your Cozy Mystery Title?

I love those "what's your title?" games on social media, so I thought I'd make my own for cozy mysteries. Let me know if it needs edits - God forbid I misspell something like "mysterious!"
