IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE A COZY AUDIOBOOK MURDER!

Halloween is still nearly three weeks away, but every store I’ve been in lately already has their Christmas décor on display and Christmas merchandise filling the shelves. Jack o’lanterns, witches, ghosts, and other ghoulies are jockeying for space with Santas reindeers, angels, and elves. Welcome to Hallowmas! Or maybe it’s Chrisween?

Not to be outdone, we here at Killer Crafts & Crafty Killers have decided to jump on the early holiday bandwagon. Drop Dead Ornaments, the seventh Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery is now available as an audiobook through Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. Are you a multitasker? Do you like to kill two birds with one stone? (Disclaimer: no birds were killed in this mystery!) Why not listen to a Christmas mystery while carving your pumpkins?

For those of you who prefer ebooks, paperbacks, or hardcovers, you can find Buy Links here.

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?

ANASTASIA'S HOME SWEET HOME

Anastasia's House

We’ve all heard the expression, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Authors paint a picture in readers’ minds when they describe the physical attributes of the characters and settings in their books. But most likely no two readers will picture the character or setting the exact same way the author pictures them in her own mind. Think about movies you’ve seen that were based on books you’ve read. How often have you thought that the actor portraying the character doesn’t look anything like the image you’ve had of that character in your head?

Floor Plan

So recently my author, Lois Winston, thought readers might like to see exactly what my mid-century rancher in suburban New Jersey really looks like. Lois didn’t base my home on any real house. She conjured it up in her head. So no photographs exist. Luckily, though, her husband, both an architect and engineer, is proficient in CAD and was able to create images based on Lois’s vision. By the way, don’t ask me what CAD stands for; I just know it’s used to draw up architectural drawings and floor plans.

And in case you’re interested in what I really look like, think Tina Fey. The cool thing is, Publishers Weekly once said I was as “deadpan droll as Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon” in their starred review of Assault With a DeadlyGlue Gun. Little did they realize at the time I’m also her doppelganger—minus the hairy man-arms Photo-shopped on the cover of her book!

Check out the latest trouble Lois has gotten me into in Drop Dead Ornaments, available now.
