It's the double-sided doorhangers I created and ordered for SaSS 2022. I think they turned out pretty good. Would you hang one on your door?

 

Along with SaSS, I'm preparing for a family reunion. It's always interesting to get with family because they're fascinated by what I do. Sometimes it surprises me because all I do is sit home and write about people yammering in my head. It's not always easy, but it's not a mystery either. 

 

Do you have a job or a hobby or an interest that your family doesn't quite understand?

 

Death of a Miser, the last Sophie Parker Coupon Mystery is coming August 9th. It is available for presale at your favorite book retailers. 

 

For some reason, the entire blurb isn't showing up on the retail sites, but here it is for you.

 

Blurb:

There are only two blips in Sophie's life; the first is her airplane repo boyfriend, AJ Devlin, who over the last few months has cancelled more dates than he's kept making Sophie wonder if perhaps their relationship is coming to an end.

The second is her great aunt Rose who enters her locally famous pie into the Winter Jamboree's pie contest. While Aunt Rose nearly always wins, contest judge Carl Jackson always has something negative to say about her pies. This time is no different when Carl criticises her pie for being too sweet and then steals it. It's an insult Aunt Rose can't let pass. Unfortunately, while she's fussing at Carl, he drops dead.

Carl's death is assumed to be from natural causes, until the medical examiner determines that he was poisoned, and all eyes turn to Aunt Rose as his most likely killer.

Sophie knows her aunt would never use one of her prized pies to murder, so she sets out to keep her aunt out of prison. It doesn't take long for Sophie to learn that the charming Carl Jackson was actually a greedy, sometimes cruel, miser, who had many enemies. As she learns more about Carl and those who had reasons to want him dead, Sophie creates problems in her coupon group, between her and AJ, and with a murderer bent on stopping her and Rose from celebrating the holidays ever again.
