I've been working on moving all my Yankee Belle Café recipes over to an archived cooking blog that's easily searchable. It's called In the Presence of Pie and I think it has most of my recipes from the past six years. (SIX YEARS!!) You can find it right here.
So, hop on over and take a peek around. I'm working hard on my new cozy mystery series (book six releases this week) and there are ten books planned... but I never really know if I'll stop there or keep going!
If you'd like to check out the first book, it's always free right here. :)
Kitty Swift travels around the sunny Yucatan peninsula assisting luxury cruise ship groups as an interpreter for the deaf. After a disastrous broken engagement, she's perfectly content to spend her days with her service dog, Chica, and a motley crew of wealthy vacationers. Her life revolves around playing Bingo, enjoying the chocolate fountain, and passing along the occasional complaint about the quality of the bed sheets. On a cruise ship the food is good, the music is lively, and everyone is friendly.
Life is quiet, just as it should be... until murder arrives in the night.
At the top of a Mayan pyramid in the humid jungle, one of her tour group is found sacrificed to the gods. A clue left at the scene makes it clear this is a deeply personal act of revenge― and the killer may have another victim in his sights.
As the entire tour group is brought in for questioning, Kitty and Chica find themselves in a race against time. A hurricane is bearing down on the city, the cruise ship is set to depart, and they’re sequestered in an embassy house with a vicious murderer.
The only person standing in her way is an enigmatic attaché to the American embassy who doesn't take kindly to all her questions― especially about himself.
Should Kitty be on guard against the mysterious detective, or are they birds of a feather in search of a killer?
Includes recipes!
Here is a peek at the other books! You can check them out right here.
Find Book Two here. When tensions overflow on a stop in Cancun, Kitty is sure it’s not anything she can’t handle. The group just needs a little time to lay on the white sand beach and paddle in the turquoise water. There isn’t anything that can’t be fixed with a few Piña Coladas and a good pedicure, right?
Kitty is sure her streak of morbidly bad luck has ended… until Chica starts to give off her “warning: death is in the wind” signals. Chica must be sensing residual bad juju from the stolen property, right? Kitty tries to placate her psychic service dog because they have only one more day to explore the vibrant ocean life, and the last dive is right where the treasure is rumored to be! Book Three is here.
If they don’t solve the mystery soon, Solitude Bay might go from being Kitty’s new favorite place… to her final resting spot!
Coming January 25th!
