Pick a Letter, Book 4, Is Available

Well, well, where has the time gone!? Do you find it hard to believe it's nearly the middle of February already? I do!

I have a new short read ready for you in the antique pickers in Paradise cozy mystery series. This one is called Pick a Letter and was really fun to write. 

When antique picker Sherri Green is the winning bidder of a box of ephemera at an auction, she thinks she's just bought just an innocent box of old papers. But a stack of letters from the 1970s grabs her attention and she's off.

With the help of her gossipy antiques picking parter, Carol O'Brien, Sherri tracks down the girl who wrote the letters all those years ago and unravels a mystery decades old. 

Pick a Letter is a clean, short read perfect for lovers of cozy mysteries set in a small town that feature an amateur sleuth.

Pick a Letter is the fourth short book in the Antique Pickers in Paradise Cozy Mysteries series, and is a complete mystery that you can read in an hour or two. As a clean read, it does NOT contain strong language or graphic violence. Just Sherri and her sidekick Carol. Oh and Sherri's husband Ralph and their sweet cat, Kitty Jo.

Be sure to check out the first three books in the Antique Pickers in Paradise Cozy Mystery series, Picked to Death, Cotton Picking Murder, and Picked On, for more small town fun and crime solving in the close-knit community of Paradise.

Picked On is Now Available

Book 3 in my Antique Pickers in Paradise Cozy Mystery series is now available! 

In this short read, Sherri and Carol visit Maisy's Miracles, a small thrift shop in a neighboring town. But once there, they find out that Maisy Dupree is missing. Add a creepy doll and Sherri and Carol's sleuthing abilities and this is a fun read.

I hope you're enjoying the winter weather and it's just cold enough to snuggle down with a good book but not so cold that you're miserable.

Happy reading!

When Lily is considered a suspect, she has to find out who really killed the womanizing dude and clear her name so the hot chief of police will think of her as something other than a murder suspect.
