THANK YOU!!! I’m so grateful to everyone who’s read, bought, pre-ordered, picked up at the library, reviewed, or talked about A FATAL GROOVE. It’s because of YOU that Juni and her sisters get to serve the coolest music, the hottest coffee, and solve an occasional murder. Or two.
In Case You Missed It
If you read VINYL RESTING PLACE, you know that during the Grand Re-Opening of Sip & Spin Records, a dead body falls out of the supply closet. So, naturally, I was a little nervous when Barnes & Noble White Marsh invited me to be a guest author at their Grand Re-Opening festivities. But with the help of fellow authors Misty Simon/Gabby Allan and Mindy Quigley, Sara my publicist, friends, and readers, I managed to stay away far away from any supply closets and the Grand Re-Opening went off without a hitch!
If you missed this fabulous event and live in the Baltimore Area, we all left behind signed books (while supplies last!) at the White Marsh BN.
Spotlight: Woman’s World Magazine
The only thing better than being profiled in a national magazine is when they *absolutely* nail it. “Known for her charming and lighthearted whodunits…” Excuse me while I happy dance.
Go pick up your copy of Woman’s World (8/14/23) magazine, on newsstands and in grocery stores now!
