By Lauren Rousseau from Edith Maxwell's Lauren Rousseau Mysteries. Greetings, dear readers. I'm a college professor of linguistics living in a small town on the New England coast. I'm also a peace-loving Quaker, so you can imagine my surprise when I got tangled up with a murder and a drug smuggler in my author's story, Speaking of Murder! The book came out a couple of weeks ago. The book has a story, too. This was her very first published mystery. But the small press went out of business last year, and the publisher who puts out her other series, the historical Quaker Midwife Mysteries, wan ..read more

By Angie Turner from Penned In by Lynn Cahoon Hi gang, We're at the old Idaho State Penitentiary for this quarter's team building event. When Matt told me he was thinking about booking us into an overnight here, I thought he was kidding.  What can I say, he wasn't. The good thing is Dom, my St. Bernard, gets to come along with us. There's a courtyard in the middle of the lock in rooms and I can take him out for his business.  We're eating a picnic dinner out near the gardens and waiting for the evening's adventure to begin. Ian came along too. He's a pretty great boyfriend. That's ..read more

A Victoria Town Mystery Novella Book #1 Viv Barton By Mollie Cox Bryan One of my favorite things about working at Mourning Arts in Victoria Town, Va., is the jewelry. We have an amazing collection of authentic Victorian mourning jewelry, along with reproductions for those who can’t afford the real thing, but still enjoy the look and sentiment.  One of my favorite pieces is my Lover’s Eye pendant. It was a birthday gift. It’s not mourning jewelry, but it is Victorian. Mine is authentic. It inspires me to wonder who’s painted eye I'm wearing. Deep blue, with a tinge of jade. But the ..read more

by Nate Seward from The Spice Shop Mysteries by Leslie Budewitz I’d seen her in the Market, dashing up the stairs with her Airedale, Arf, on a leash, stopping at the Pike Place Bakery to grab coffee and a bite, then heading down the cobblestones of Pike Place to – well, I didn’t know where to. When I’m fishing in Puget Sound, I occasionally sell my stuff to the guys at Pike Place Fish – you know them, the men who draw a crowd as they throw fish through the air and laugh and sing and tell jokes – and I found myself less interested in the price they’d pay for my salmon and more interested in t ..read more
