Christmas Traditions & A CORPSE AMONG THE CAROLERS
One of Hope Early’s Christmas traditions is hanging a wreath on the old red barn. Every year since moving back to Jefferson, she has called on Ethan Cahill to help hang the wreath—a small gesture, but one that brings warmth and memories of Christmases past. 
It’s moments like these, filled with simple joys and the comfort of community, that make the holiday season truly magical. What are your favorite holiday traditions? Share in the comments.

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.

Happy Halloween! I’m so thrilled that you’ve stopped by today for a visit so I can share a little about the book I’m giving away for the Halloween Trick-or-Treat Cozy Mystery giveaway. I love the month of October and this year it’s extra special because my 13th book was published and it’s Halloween themed!
A CORPSE AT THE WITCHING HOUR is the 6th book in the Food Blogger mystery series and is filled with ghostly vibes (though it’s not a paranormal), family secrets long buried and yummy recipes.
The book I’m giving away is THE CORPSE WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, the 4th book in the Food Blogger mystery series. I loved writing this book because it included a true crime podcast.

Let me know what you’re reading, what podcasts you love, what you’re dressing up for Halloween as, or just say “hi”. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the winner of my giveaway.

***Blurb***
Food blogger Hope Early takes on a cold case that’s heating up fast . . .
Building on her recipe for success with her food blog, Hope at Home, Hope is teaching her first blogging class at the local library in Jefferson, Connecticut. She’s also learning about podcasts, including a true-crime one called Search for the Missing, hosted by Hope’s childhood friend, Devon Markham. Twenty years ago on Valentine’s Day, right here in Jefferson, Devon’s mom disappeared and was never found. Finally Devon has returned to solve the mystery of what happened to her mother—and she asks Hope to help.
The next day Hope discovers Devon’s apartment has been ransacked. Her laptop with the research on her mother’s cold case is missing, and Devon is nowhere to be found. When her friend’s body is later discovered in a car wreck, Hope is convinced it’s no accident. Clearly, Devon was too close to the truth, and the cold-blooded killer is still at large in Jefferson. Now it’s up to Hope to find the guilty party—before the food blogger herself becomes the next subject of another true-crime podcast . . .
Includes Recipes from Hope’s Kitchen!
