It's here!

-

What's here? Well, not the new book, but--we have a cover! It's been a lot longer process than intended, but so has the editing process! Both are now under control, and I'm happy to announce that Washed Up With the Tide has a cover and a release date!

This is awkward, because I'm heading out on the trail again so I'm not able to promote as much as I'd like, so feel free to share and boost!

Coming... November 18, 2024.

To celebrate, I'm dropping the price of the ebook of Book 1. A Coastal Corpse is now$3.99 at most retailers, through the end of November!


Washed Up With the Tide

Baked goods, beautiful weather, and … bodies on the beach? There’s trouble in Smelt Point and it’s up to Seffi to solve the case!

 

Seffi’s pleasure in her long walks among the fall colors is more than a little marred when she encounters cantankerous fisherman Bob Hughes washed up on the shore—sodden, entangled in a net, and very definitely dead. Did the man drink too much and fall overboard in an unfortunate accident? Or was his death something more sinister? With an estranged wife, enemies in the fishing fleet, and ticked-off deckhands, there are plenty of people around Smelt Point who aren’t sorry he’s dead. But did any of them actually kill him? The scuttlebutt at the bakery raises more questions than it answers, and to top it off the fishermen gathering there have eaten Seffi’s favorite treats.

 

Once again Seffi needs all her reasoning and gossip-gathering talents to help village policeman Miah Cox get to the bottom of the mystery. But will Miah’s own secret tear the village apart?

More importantly, will Seffi ever get to finish her walk and enjoy her pastries in peace?

 

 

#2 in the Seffi Wardwell Mysteries.

      Thanks! Glad you can see the boot—I was a little worried about that.

    Just found that you can’t pre-order paperbacks, but I’m happy to take orders personally and will send out signed copies on or before release day!

Non-fiction Audiobook Review: Falter, by Bill McKibben

Important stuff, but hard to hear. Title: Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? Author: Bill McKibben. Ready by Olivery Wyman Publication Info: Macmillan Audio 2019. 11 hours. Hardback by Henry Holt & Co., 291 pages. Source: Library Blurb: (Goodreads): Thirty years ago Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about climate change. Now he broadens the warning: the entire human game, he suggests, has begun to play itself out. Bill McKibben’s groundbreaking book The End of Nature -- issued in dozens of languages and long regarded as a classic -- was the first book to alert us to global warming. But the danger is broader than that: even as climate change shrinks the space where our civilization can exist, new technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics threaten to bleach away the variety of human experience. Falter tells the story of these converging trends and of the ideological fervor that keeps us from bringing them under control. And t

WEP challenges are FREE and open to all. On the 1st   of the challenge month, there will be a   get-your-thinking-caps   on post.

Participants link up with their DLs (Direct Links to their entry).  Learn all about it here .    My entry this time is based on an actual incident. Mom and my brothers will recognize it. My apologies to them for the non-trivial liberties I took with history and their personalities. We are now also meant to provide a tag line for our stories, so here's mine: What terrors lurk in the root cellar?     The Scream The house we lived in that year wasn’t much. The wind blew in everywhere you could imagine a draft, and some places you couldn’t. The old enclosed porch we used as a root cellar was worse. It wasn’t just the wind that could get in through the chinks a
