A CORPSE AMONG THE CAROLERS & Pre-order gifts
I’m thrilled to announce that A CORPSE AMONG THE CAROLERS, the seventh installment in the Food Blogger Mystery series, will be hitting shelves on November 12, 2024! Can you believe this is my 14th book? It’s surreal to think I’ve written that many stories, each one special in its own way. However, this upcoming release holds a particularly dear spot in my heart—primarily because it’s set during my favorite season: Christmas!
I absolutely adore everything about Christmas—the vibrant red ribbons, the charmingly imperfect gifts, and, of course, the endless variety of cookies. The holiday season is filled with joyful chaos, and while it can be a bit of a juggling act to get everything done, it’s all part of the fun. That got me wondering how my protagonist, Hope Early, would navigate her own holiday celebrations while also solving a murder mystery.
Friday Faves 9/27/24
Happy Friday! Happy last week in September! Say what??? How did that happen? Wasn’t it just Labor Day? It certainly feels like it was but today is September 27th. There’s just three more days until we welcome in October and I couldn’t be happier! I’m in full-on pumpkin spice mode and my sweaters are just waiting to be worn.
So, while I wait for the temps to drop (I’m very impatient) I’ll share with you my faves from this week. There’s a podcast, an Instagram account that always makes me smile, my new go-to workout series, an inspiring YouTube channel and my current read. I’ve also added in a series on Apple TV I’ve binged watched. Ready? Let’s get started.
Podcast: Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show. I discovered Dr. Lyon a couple years ago and I’m so thankful that I did. She’s a wealth of information on healthy aging. I listened to her show on Boosting Cognitive Function through Fitness earlier this week.
Instagram: MillyPinkNose. I love seeing photos and videos of this English Angora rabbit in my feed. He’s adorable!
Workout: Tracy Steen of Move Daily Fitness. I’ve done about four of her workouts and I have enjoyed them so I think I’ll continue through October.
YouTube: Nikol Johnson. I’m so happy that she brought back her Fiercely Aging series where she does makeup on women over 50, sharing tips and techniques with viewers. She’s launched a makeup line and I have been doing a little shopping on her website. And I love everything I’ve purchased so far.
Current Read: Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse. It’s my nighttime read and I’m enjoying it so much.
TV series: Truth be Told. This series is based on the book ARE YOU SLEEPING by Kathleen Barber. I was so disappointed when I found out that there wasn’t a season four.
