Hi, folks.
I hope everything is going well for you and your family and friends!
I thought I’d let you know about a few new things I’m working on as well as tell you about Dianne Harman’s new book. As you know, Dianne, a two time USA Today Best Selling Author, is a good friend who continues to be a highly successful and prolific author of terrific cozy mysteries.
First, my new book, The Case of the Salubrious Soft Coated Wheaten, book #19 in my Thousand Islands Doggy Inn Mysteries launched earlier this week and continues to be the #1 New Release in Dog Breeds on Amazon. I’d like to thank all of you for your ongoing support!
Here’s some information about the book.
It’s wedding week and big changes are in the air.
And since change has never been one of Suzy’s strong points, she’s on edge and often grumpy until Josie and Chef Claire sit her down for a little chat. One of the major changes, apart from those her upcoming nuptials will create, is the fact that Chef Claire and Josie are moving down the street into a new house.
Just when it appears that Suzy has dealt with her moodiness and melancholy, they discover the body of the ninety-two-year-old man Josie bought the house from. At first, Charlie Merrihew’s death appears accidental, but when Suzy and Chief Abrams start piecing things together, it soon becomes apparent the old man, an avid collector of antiquities and war memorabilia, was murdered.
Suzy and the Chief flounder at first given the apparent lack of a motive. But when an antique, priceless dagger is discovered, along with the old man’s will, the list of suspects grows in a hurry. Charlie’s two kids, both childhood friends of Suzy, are in town for her wedding, and many others from the Merrihew clan are also in Clay Bay for a family get-together. There’s no love lost between most of them and their contempt for Charlie was strong. As such, there is no shortage of suspects, including Suzy’s lifelong friends, a possibility that threatens to send her into another tailspin. The investigation continues as the wedding creeps closer and Suzy does everything she can to balance both without sending her mother into orbit.
The Case of the Salubrious Soft Coated Wheaten is the most emotional series installment to date, and by the time readers finish, they will have been taken on a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows as Suzy and the rest of the Clay Bay gang are confronted with a stark reminder: When it comes to life, there are no dress rehearsals.
Also, coming in August is the first book in the Doggy Inn spin-off series featuring Josie and Chef Claire as they travel the world in search of great food and cooking techniques. The first installment is called The Case of Italian Indigestion and I think you’re going to enjoy it. It will be going up for pre-order in the near future so keep an eye out for it.
Here’s a sneak peek at the cover.
Dianne Harman’s latest book, the ninth book in her Liz Lucas Cozy Mystery Series, is called Murdered by Superstition and it’s on sale for $2.99 thru 7/31, then will go to $3.99.

It was just a doll, wasn’t it?
It didn’t have powers, did it?
Powers that could kill?
New Orleans is famous for its pralines, beignets, jazz, Bourbon Street, and the French Quarter. But there’s a darker side to the Big Easy, one that involves voodoo and gris-gris.
Nicole Rogers recently moved to Red Cedar from New Orleans. She’d lost weight, became engaged, and had a new job as the manager of a local bank in the small town. But when she found voodoo dolls in her gym locker, work desk, and on her front porch, she was scared. She knew what receiving the dolls meant – someone wanted to hurt her or kill her, and she was right. A few days later, Nicole’s body was found on her front porch with a voodoo doll next to it. She’d been murdered.
What is the connection between Nicole’s murder and the voodoo dolls? Liz Lucas, an amateur sleuth, is determined to find the connection and catch the killer. While on a trip to New Orleans to attend a cooking school known for its Cajun-Creole style of cooking, she learns a lot from a gris-gris doctor who specializes in voodoo, hexes, spells, and superstitions.
But who would want to kill Nicole? Was it the bank employee Nicole fired? What about Nicole’s sister, who had legally changed her name to Marie Leveau (the Queen of Voodoo in New Orleans)? Or Candace Norgan, the woman her fiancé dropped when he fell in love with Nicole? Or even Maddie, Nicole’s friend and the Assistant Manager at the bank?
Join Liz and her dog Winston as they search for the killer.
As always, plenty of mouth-watering recipes!
