IT’S RELEASE DAY!

Today marks the official release of A Crafty Collage of Crime, the 12^th book in the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries, those books author Lois Winston writes about me. This time, she decided Zack and I shouldn’t return to Barcelona for our honeymoon as she’d promised. Some of you might remember Lois sent us to Barcelona once before in Mosaic Mayhem when I accompanied Zack on a photography assignment. Lois being Lois, she decided a couple of goons should kidnap me shortly after we arrived.

She had promised to make it up to me. She knew I really wanted to go back to Barcelona. There was so much I hadn’t gotten a chance to see. Lois changed her mind, though. She came up with a plot she liked better, and of course, it involved me finding more dead bodies.

 

And then there’s the Tennessee thing. You might remember Lois, the diehard Jersey girl, is now living in a Nashville suburb. Many of her readers have been asking when she’s going to move me, another diehard Jersey girl, down south. I told her if she did, I’d go on strike and take her muse with me. After extensive negotiations, we struck a compromise, and she sent Zack and me to Tennessee on our honeymoon.

 

Since Zack had an upcoming assignment to shoot a magazine spread on Tennessee wineries, she combined the assignment with our honeymoon, making it a working honeymoon. Convenient, huh? Maybe for her plot purposes, but it certainly wasn’t the relaxing honeymoon I’d envisioned. Far from it. Wait until you read what happened within minutes of our arrival at Three Sisters Winery! Talk about a double whammy!

Want a chance to win a copy of A Crafty Collage of Crime? From June 19^th and running through July 2^nd, Lois and I will be on a Great Escapes virtual tour where she’s giving away copies of my newest adventure. Follow the tour here to enter the Rafflecopter for a chance to win. You’ll also be able to read reviews from some of the bloggers and posts and interviews from both Lois and me.

 

A Crafty Collage of Crime

An Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 12

 

Wherever crafts editor and reluctant amateur sleuth Anastasia Pollack goes, murder and mayhem follow. Her honeymoon is no exception. She and new husband, photojournalist (and possible spy) Zachary Barnes, are enjoying a walk in the Tennessee woods when they stumble upon a body on the side of a creek. The dead man is the husband of one of the three sisters who own the winery and guest cottages where Anastasia and Zack are vacationing.

 

When the local sheriff sets his sights on the widow as the prime suspect, her sisters close ranks around her. The three siblings are true-crime junkies, and thanks to a podcaster who has produced an unauthorized series about her, Anastasia’s reputation for solving murders has preceded her to the bucolic hamlet. The sisters plead for her help in finding the real killer. As Anastasia learns more about the women and their business, a host of suspects emerge, including several relatives, a relentless land developer, and even the sisters themselves.

 

Meanwhile, Anastasia becomes obsessed with discovering the podcaster’s identity. Along with knowing about Anastasia’s life as a reluctant amateur sleuth, the podcaster has divulged details of Anastasia’s personal life. Someone has betrayed Anastasia’s trust, and she’s out to discover the identity of the culprit.
