Time to Cozy Up with 58 Cozy Mystery Books and a Couple of New Novels

Oh, the weather certainly has a nip in the air, at least where I live! How about you? Has fall arrived? I love it. The days are getting shorter and you know what that means. More time in the evening for reading!

I'm happy to announce that I have three of my Antique Pickers short ebooks in the Cozy Up promo that I am lucky enough to participate in. 

You can get any or all of these cozy mystery titles (and some are collections or box sets) for free or just 99 cents! Stock up for the cool evenings ahead.

But this promo only runs through tomorrow (October 9) so grab them now!

And I have a couple of full-length novels published that I need to tell you about. I wrote both of these novels several years ago and recently dug them out and polished them up. 

Same Old Same Old is a departure from my cozy mysteries, but a coming of age novel of sorts that looks at the life of Patty Parks as a young girl and as a woman.

Retreat is a huge departure from my cozy mysteries! I wanted to write about the absurdities of the workplace and "working for the man." It's a humorous novel and not for the faint of heart. (Let's just say the language and situations are rather adult in nature.)
