A VALENTINE'S DAY COZY MYSTERY SALE

Not only is it Valentine’s Day today, but it’s my author’s birthday month. To celebrate, Lois Winston has put the ebook bundle of the first two books in the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries on sale for only .99 cents. Can you believe it? You can’t even buy a cup of coffee for that anymore. I’m not sure if there’s anything left you can buy for .99 cents except a postage stamp. And who knows how long that will last?


Normally, this 2-book bundle sells for $6.99, but it won’t be on sale for long, only until February 21
st. So don’t miss out. If you haven’t read these bestselling books yet, you won’t believe the trouble Lois has in store for me. She’s been at it for years now. Here a dead body, there a dead body. Every time I turn around, there’s a dead body! Who knew authors could be so sadistic? And to think, she used to write romances. Why couldn’t she write me into one of those? 

Anyway, Kirkus Reviews said I was, “North Jersey’s more mature answer to Stephanie Plum.” And both Publishers Weekly and Booklist gave Assault with a Deadly Glue Gun starred reviews, and Death by Killer Mop Doll was a Mystery Guild Alternate Selection.

 

So don’t wait. Time is ticking…


Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries, Books 1-2

 

Assault with a Deadly Glue Gun

When Anastasia Pollack's husband permanently cashes in his chips at a roulette table in Vegas, her comfortable middle-class life craps out. She's left with two teenage sons, a mountain of debt, and her hateful, cane-wielding Communist mother-in-law. Not to mention stunned disbelief over her late husband's secret gambling addiction, and the loan shark who's demanding fifty thousand dollars.

Anastasia's job as crafts editor for a magazine proves no respite when she discovers a dead body glued to her office chair. The victim, fashion editor Marlys Vandenburg, collected enemies and ex-lovers like Jimmy Choos on her ruthless climb to editor-in-chief. But when evidence surfaces of an illicit affair between Marlys and Anastasia's husband, Anastasia becomes the number one suspect. Can she find the killer and clear her name before he strikes again?

Death by Killer Mop Doll

Overdue bills and constant mother vs. mother-in-law battles at home are bad enough. But crafts editor Anastasia Pollack's stress level is maxed out when she and her fellow American Woman editors get roped into unpaid gigs for a revamped morning TV show. Before the glue is dry on Anastasia's mop dolls, morning TV turns crime drama when the studio is trashed and the producer is murdered. Former co-hosts Vince and Monica—sleazy D-list celebrities—stand out among a lengthy lineup of suspects, all furious over the show's new format. And Anastasia has no clue her snooping has landed her directly in the killer's unforgiving spotlight.

Crafts projects included.
