Shucked Apart Advance Reader Copy Giveaway!
|
Advanced Reader Copies for the ninth Maine Clambake Mystery, Shucked Apart, have arrived! The novel will be released on February 23, 2021, but if you can't wait, you can enter to win one of six copies I'm giving away.
Here's the blurb:
When Andie Greatorex is robbed of two buckets of oyster seed worth $35,000, she wonders if somebody’s trying to mussel her out of business. Could it be a rival oyster farmer, a steamed former employee, or a snooty summer resident who objects to her unsightly oyster cages floating on the beautiful Damariscotta River? There’s also a lobsterman who’s worried the farm’s expanding lease will encroach on his territory and Andie’s ex-partner, who may regret their split. Before Andie's new friend Julia Snowden can make much headway in the investigation, Andie turns up dead, stabbed by a shucking knife. Now it’s up to Julia to set a trap for a cold and clammy killer . . .
I had so much fun researching oyster farming for this book. I really hope you enjoy it.
Shucked Apart is available for pre-order.

In Conversation with Lynne Truss |

I'm excited to appear at a virtual event with Lynne Truss, renowned author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves, the funniest book about punctuation ever. Lynne is also the author of three hilarious British-style cozy mysteries featuring Constable Peregrine Twitten.
This free event is sponsored by the Briar Patch in Bangor, Maine and the River Dog Book Co. Signed copies of the books are available from both stores AND buyers will receive a Kensington Cozy Mystery card (for a free book) with each book purchase.

Lots of us find holiday stories help get us in the mood, especially during trying times. If you're one of those people, and you haven't read my novella about how the folks in Busman's Harbor celebrate the season, now may be the time.
"Nogged Off," the standalone ebook version of my story in the collection Eggnog Murder, is on sale for 99 cents from most major retailers.
"…a creepily convincing tale of tinsel-decked, cookie-scented psychopathology."
Read it today if you "Need A Little Christmas."

The holiday season is upon us. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving in whatever weird form it took this year. I've already decorated the house and will soon be working on cards and cookies. I figure I should keep things as normal as possible.
Remember, a book makes a lovely gift!
Best wishes for the happiest of New Years!
