Drop Dead Ornaments, the 7th Anastasia
Pollack Crafting Mystery, is now available. In celebration, here’s
another no-talent-required glass ornament, simple enough for even little kids
to make (but substitute clear plastic ball ornaments for the glass ones.)
That clock is also counting down to Christmas. There
are only 43 days (if I've done my math right) until Santa slides down the chimney. Time to start making that
list and checking it twice. Anastasia’s ornament crafts from Drop Dead Ornaments are so incredibly
easy to make that even if you’ve never picked up a glue gun or a paintbrush in
your life, you can create beautiful gifts in next to no time at all. And none
of these ornaments require a glue gun or a paintbrush—or any other specialized
tools!

Drop Dead Ornaments
An Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 7
Anastasia Pollack’s son Alex
is dating Sophie Lambert, the new kid in town. For their community service
project, the high school seniors have chosen to raise money for the county food
bank. Anastasia taps her craft industry contacts to donate materials for the
students to make Christmas ornaments they’ll sell at the town’s annual Holiday
Crafts Fair.
At the fair Anastasia meets
Sophie’s father, Shane Lambert, who strikes her as a man with secrets. She also
notices a woman eavesdropping on their conversation. Later that evening when
the woman turns up dead, Sophie’s father is arrested for her murder.
Alex and Sophie beg Anastasia
to find the real killer, but Anastasia has had her fill of dead bodies. She’s
also not convinced of Shane’s innocence. Besides, she’s promised younger son
Nick she’ll stop risking her life. But how can she say no to Alex?
