BOOK CLUB FRIDAY--MYSTERY AUTHOR ALEC PECHE

Today we welcome Alec Peche, author of ten books split between two mystery series. Learn more about her and her books at her website. 

Reading romance and writing it are two completely different things...

For twenty or so years, I was a romance book junkie. This was prior to ebooks, so I was on a first name basis with my local used bookstore owner. It was the only way a reader could afford to support a several books a week habit. Perhaps twelve years ago I switched to the mystery genre, and a little more than six years ago, I decided there were some real duds in that genre and I could do better. So I started my career of writing two mystery series.

Circling back to my current work in progress, The Girl From Diana Park, it was time to get my protagonist together with the woman inhabiting his life. I felt that it would be disingenuous to do anything else, as both my characters were single, of a similar age, jointly raising a teenager that wasn’t theirs, while fighting off bad people trying to kill the teenager. The teenager is a secondary character, so this is not a Young Adult genre book.

So after twenty years of romance book reading, writing this single scene of romance (and what leads up to it) should be easy, right?

Wrong. As a female author, I’m trying to write the male romantic brain and to be consistent in a mystery genre tone, not in a romance novel style. My lead guy is not a Stone Barrington, or Jack Reacher, or Roarke. I’d modeled him initially after MacGyver, from the 70s show (and a new series in 2016) - a brainy, gentle, good-looking, widower (in my books) in the prime of his life. Oh boy!

The next problem is what readers expect from my traditional mysteries. Up to this point, I've had no graphic sex and less than five cuss words among my ten books, so even if I wanted to throw some 50 Shades of Grey into the story, I'd disappoint my readers as that's not what they expect from my previous series books. I also know of a twelve-year-old boy who is reading book 2 in this series, and his mom would have a conniption if the next book was unfit for that age group.

To add to my misery, I’m a pantser style of writer. I pick a location for the murder and how my man or woman got dead, and then I start writing. The story inside my head is rarely more than a chapter away from the typing my fingers are doing. So how do I work a little romance into this book, building in each chapter to a crescendo later in the story? How do I stop from over-thinking this minor story arc?

So what did I do? I decided to take a June Cleaver approach with them going back to her house, sipping wine and kissing, and him in the kitchen the next morning letting the reader's imagination fill in the blanks.... Sometimes that's the best way to write a scene. Readers’ imaginations can be just as powerful as the writer's words.

The Girl From Diana Park

A Damian Green Mystery, Book 3

Damian Green lives alone on a remote island in San Francisco Bay, he invents things and he's a computer geek who can manipulate large amounts of data to find the truth underneath.

In this story, Damian is asked to assist retired SJPD Detective Natalie Severino with a five year old child abduction case. The abduction was a cold case having not been solved in the first year after the child's disappearance from a local park.

Meanwhile Damian and Ariana continue caring for teenager, Hermione, while Damian explores new angles in the search for the girl's parents. While Hermione may not know where her parents are, or if they are even alive after men kidnapped her parents from their home nearly a year ago, someone else is convinced she does know where they are. That person is planning to use her to smoke out the parents. Damian has his hands full chasing multiple mysteries while protecting the two women he's come to love.

MYSTERY AUTHOR SUSAN OLEKSIW ON THE SETTING FOR HER NEW SERIES

Susan Oleksiw is the author of twelve mysteries in three series. Below the Tree Line is the first in the Pioneer Valley series. Her short stories have appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine and numerous anthologies. She also published A Reader's Guide to the Classic British Mystery and served as co-editor for The Oxford Companion to Crime and Mystery Writing. Learn more about Susan and her books at her website. 

Unexpected Discoveries in a New Series

In Below the Tree Line, the first in the Pioneer Valley series, I set out to give the reader a sense of place and what it’s like to live and work on a small farm. Setting is important to me, and I wanted to create as vivid a landscape in this series as I had in my two previous ones. The landscape of this area is worth a visit.

The Mellingham series with Chief Joe Silva was set in a small town on a New England coast, much like the one I grew up in. I knew how people behaved, and I knew local institutions. For Family Album I learned about antiques and for Come About for Murder, I honed up on my sailing skills. My next series was set in India and featured Indian-American photographer Anita Ray, living at her aunt’s tourist hotel in a resort I knew well from the time I lived in a nearby city. In Under the Eye of Kali, I talked a lot about the food, and in When Krishna Calls, I wrote about the way village lenders have trapped villagers into debt for generations.

I expected to follow a similar path when I began writing the Pioneer Valley series, featuring healer and farmer Felicity O’Brien. As I began my research, I expected to add to my store of knowledge (meager at best) about farming and the like. But this time things were different.

Like many others, I have mourned the disappearance of honeybees. But I began to notice other changes in the natural world as well. Large flocks of wrens seemed to be everywhere, and now we have blue jays. But other birds are missing. Our two or three pairs of cardinals are down to one pair, not often seen. We have fewer chickadees, purple finches, and white-throated sparrows. I can’t remember the last time I saw a Baltimore Oriole.

The nature of the forests is changing also, and this is something that will concern Felicity. Part of her income comes from timbering, and any change there will be serious for her. Any reports of new infestations can mean disaster for a farmer. Felicity knows her property well, but even she learns a few things in Below the Tree Line. It seems her parents didn’t tell her everything.

Felicity tracks the weather, like every other farmer, but now she has to track an unstable environment. A neighbor is watching his best maple trees migrate north, and another has been turned out of a field he’s been renting for years because the owners can’t pay the taxes. And then there’s the temptation of selling out to a developer. Why a stranger is offering an inflated price for her land stumps Felicity, and she teams up with her partner, Jeremy Colson, to figure this out.

Despite the challenges of her situation, Felicity has a few assets—patience, doggedness, and observation skills. She also has the support of the people in her community, many of whom know her as a healer, one in a long line of healers that includes her mother and grandmother. But she still lives in a world that teeters precariously on the edge of major loss and disruption. This is the world most people don’t see while driving through on their way to summer concerts or ski resorts. But this is the world that interests me and I hope will interest my readers.

Below the Tree Line, A Pioneer Valley Mystery

In the Massachusetts countryside, family secrets run deep . . . but an outside threat could uproot them all.

Felicity O'Brien hopes the warning shot fired from her porch is enough to scare off the intruder who's been snooping around her family's Massachusetts farm. Days later, two young women are found dead nearby. Somebody wants something bad enough to kill for it, but all she has is the neglected property her parents passed down to her. Joining forces with her friend Jeremy Colson, Felicity tries to uncover the truth and save herself and her land from those who are capable of unthinkable harm.

SANTA CRUZ WEIRD WITH MYSTERY AUTHOR VINNIE HANSEN

 

Author Vinnie Hansen fled the howling winds of South Dakota and headed for the California coast the day after high school graduation. She’s now the author of numerous short stories, the Carol Sabala mystery series, and Lostart Street, a cross-genre novel of mystery, murder, and moonbeams. Still sane(ish) after 27 years of teaching high school English, Vinnie has retired. She lives in Santa Cruz with her husband and the requisite cat. Learn more about her and her books at her website. 

Santa Cruz Weird

Even though we’re not a large city, people across the country know of Santa Cruz, California. Huntington Beach may think it’s “Surf City,” but everyone here knows we claim the title. We’re the ones with a statue of a surfer who wears a pumpkin head on Halloween. Jack O’Neill, inventor of the wetsuit, lived here until his death last year. Santa Cruz has a lighthouse converted to a Surfing Museum and even a hanger for Lost Souls.

Others recognize Santa Cruz as a tourist destination featuring a beautiful coastline and The Boardwalk, with its historic, wooden Giant Dipper roller coaster. But there’s so much more here! Santa Cruz overflows with artists and musicians. The Doobie Brothers and Neil Young lived here. Santa Cruz produced James Durbin (who should have won American Idol). My own orchestra leader used to play with Eddie Money. For visual artists, we have a long-running Open Studios event, and we offer first-rate theater with Santa Cruz Shakespeare.

Music, visual art, and theater collide in local legend, The Great Morgani. The Great Morgani

The author posing with The Great Morgani

is a real musician with over 1,000 songs in his repertoire. His costumes (over 50) are all handcrafted masterpieces that cover even his accordion. And he has his patter down—artist, musician, and thespian—rolled into one. And, just a little weird—a perfect representative for Santa Cruz.

Where else but Santa Cruz can you find Sons of the Beach, as many as 200 ukulele players congregating every Saturday morning to play music? And that’s separate from the Santa Cruz Ukulele Club, which boasts it’s the largest ukulele club in the world!

Not convinced yet that we’re any quirkier than, say, Austin, Texas?

In our Santa Cruz Mountains, we have a museum dedicated to Bigfoot and a physics defying Mystery Spot.

We're literally fishy. Fish were vital to the native Ohlone. Commercial and sport fishing remain integral to our community.

Santa Cruz is a city where you go for a walk and encounter magic. It’s part of our everyday life. We expect nothing less.

And now to celebrate the wonder and weirdness that is Santa Cruz, Nancy Lynn Jarvis has put together Santa Cruz Weird, an anthology where all the stories are set in this wacky place. The collection includes my story, “Critical Mass.” My protagonist, writer May Knight, allows a horrid literary agent to invite herself to stay in her condo, hoping that the agent will represent her work. That’s not what happens.

Santa Cruz Weird

Stories contributed by Lynda West Scott, Marc Darrow, Vinnie Hansen, Jan Harwood, Katherine Bolger Hyde, Ed Sams, Edward Weingold, Nancy Wood, J.D. Graves, Mary Flodin, P. Maya Morgan, Nancy Lynn Jarvis, S.L. Hawke, Helene Simkin Jara, Jill Scott, Rick Parfitt, Maryanne Porter, and a reprinted column by Stephen Kessler from The Santa Cruz Sentinel.

#COOKING WITH CLORIS--AUTHOR JUDY PENZ SHELUK BAKES UP A BATCH OF CROUTONS

Mystery author Judy Penz Sheluk stops by for a return visit and to share a recipe today. Judy is the Amazon international bestselling author of the Glass Dolphin Mysteries and the Marketville Mysteries. Her short stories appear in several collections. Learn more about her and her books at her website. 

Following her adventures in Skeletons in the Attic, Calamity (Callie) Barnstable is back in Past & Present, this time as the co-owner of Past & Present Investigations, where she hopes to earn a living investigating cold cases long abandoned by police. Potential love interest Royce Ashford is also back, and Callie hopes to encourage that relationship by having him over to her house for a dinner of lasagna with salad, complete with homemade croutons. Unfortunately, the evening doesn’t end as romantically as planned, but it had nothing to do with the croutons. Here’s the recipe. You can also find a printable PDF copy on my website’s Food & Drink page: http://www.judypenzsheluk.com/recipes/

Garlic Butter Croutons

Ingredients:

4 tbsp. unsalted butter

1 tsp. sea salt

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 loaf French stick and/or pumpernickel loaf cut into cubes (slightly stale bread is best)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Melt butter over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add garlic and sea salt when butter is melted; cook and stir for 1 minute.

Add bread cubes and toss to coat, making sure the cubes are coated on all sides.

Place on parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp and dry, turning once. Check frequently to prevent burning.

Let cool before serving.

Past & Present will be available in trade paperback at all the usual suspects and on Amazon Kindle on September 21, 2018, where it is currently available on pre-order for the promotional price of $2.99 (reg. $5.99).

Past & Present

Sometimes the past reaches out to the present...

It’s been thirteen months since Calamity (Callie) Barnstable inherited a house in Marketville under the condition that she search for the person who murdered her mother thirty years earlier. She solves the mystery, but what next? Unemployment? Another nine-to-five job in Toronto? 

Callie decides to set down roots in Marketville, take the skills and knowledge she acquired over the past year, and start her own business: Past & Present Investigations.

It’s not long before Callie and her new business partner, best friend Chantelle Marchand, get their first client: a woman who wants to find out everything she can about her grandmother, Anneliese Prei, and how she came to a “bad end” in 1956. It sounds like a perfect first assignment. Except for one thing: Anneliese’s past winds its way into Callie’s present, and not in a manner anyone—least of all Callie—could have predicted.

#CRAFTS WITH ANASTASIA--MELTED CRAYON ORNAMENT

The stores are filled with pumpkin-flavored everything lately, as well as candy corn and costumes, but Christmas is not that far away. Have you begun your Christmas crafting yet? Today we’re featuring another ornament from Drop DeadOrnaments, the newest Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, now available for pre-order. This is a perfect craft for using up your kids’ broken crayons instead of tossing them in the trash. And as with all the other ornaments featured in the book, absolutely no special crafting talent is required.

Melted Crayon Ornament

Materials:

clear glass ball ornament

2-3 crayons in the same color family or opposites (examples: pinks and red, yellows and orange, blues and yellow, blues and pink, etc.)

crayon sharpener or craft knife

hair dryer

9”-12” of 1/4”-1/2” wide satin or grosgrain ribbon in complementary color*

Use the crayon sharpener or craft knife to shave pieces from the crayons.

Carefully remove the metal cap from the glass ball.

Working with one color at a time, place a small amount of the shavings into the glass ball. Hold the hair dryer close to the area of the ornament where the shavings are and heat the ornament to melt the crayons. Be careful you don’t touch the ornament with the hair dryer.

If the ornament becomes too hot as you’re working, take a break to allow it to cool. You may also want to use an oven mitt or glove to protect your hand from the heat. As the crayon shavings begin to melt, rotate the ornament to spread the color.

Alternate colors, continuing until the desired look is achieved.

Reattach the metal cap. Tie ribbon through the loop for hanging.

* You can also substitute yarn, twine, thin braid, or a thin strip of fabric for the ribbon used for the hanging loop.

Drop Dead Ornaments

BOOK CLUB FRIDAY--AN INTERVIEW WITH MYSTERY AUTHOR SALLY HANDLEY'S AMATEUR SLEUTH HOLLY DONNELLY

Today we sit down with Holly Donnelly from author Sally Handley’s Holly and Ivy Mysteries.

What was your life like before your author started pulling your strings?

Before Second Bloom, the first Holly and Ivy adventure, my life was very serene and peaceful. I spent most of my time reading and teaching English as an adjunct faculty member at a local college. In my spare time, I gardened. Some may think of it as a dull life, but it was very pleasant -- until my author started involving me in murder investigations. I never wanted to get involved, but she always made it impossible for me to walk away from the situations she threw me into. Of course, my life was also just a tad lonely. I have to admit I’m glad she introduced me to Detective Nick Manelli.

What’s the one trait you like most about yourself?

I suppose it is my loyalty to friends and family.  Naturally, that’s the very thing that gets me involved in murder investigations. Also, since my author started pulling my strings, I’ve learned that I’m braver than I thought I was. Even when I’d rather pull the covers over my head, I will face danger in order to help or protect the people I love. I do feel proud of that.

What do you like least about yourself?

Well, I have been told that I’m a bit of a know-it-all and seem to always think I know the best way to handle any situation. Quite honestly, I don’t see it. Can I help it if I’m always right?

What is the strangest thing your author has had you do or had happen to you?

The strangest thing is that all of a sudden people I know and care about keep getting accused of murder. I’m a fifty-five year old, adjunct English professor, for heaven’s sake.  All I want to do is read, garden and go sightseeing with my sister Ivy. What business do I have investigating murders? Why couldn’t my author just have written a romance novel? Why couldn’t I have just been a middle-aged woman, trying to decide which of two, maybe three men who desire me, I should marry? That’s a good plot, isn’t it? Why, oh why, do I have to get involved helping people accused of murder? Believe me, I often think about how strange it is that my sister and I are helping the police solve crimes at this stage in our lives.

Do you argue with your author? If so, what do you argue about?

Not really. We have a rather symbiotic relationship, even though I’m actually a lot gutsier than she is. I think she actually lives vicariously through me. Though after that last question you asked me, I think I’m going to argue that she should quit Sisters in Crime and join Romance Writers of America. She can change my name and start featuring me in epic love stories.

What is your greatest fear?

I’m ever fearful that what I do may cause harm to my sister Ivy. In the instances where I’ve thrown caution to the wind, I usually endanger her. Of course, I always realize I’ve put her in harm’s way a little too late.

What makes you happy?

The ability to make things grow really makes my heart sing. Every spring, when I plant seeds, I get absolutely giddy when they begin to sprout. I used to think everyone could make things grow, but I’ve learned that it’s a gift not to be taken for granted.

Good food also makes me happy. I love to cook. Italian food is my favorite. (I guess that’s part of what Nick finds appealing about me.) And, I completely agree with the quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin: “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Then, of course, there’s Nick Manelli. He can make me crazy sometimes, but overall, he makes me very, very happy.

If you could rewrite a part of your story, what would it be? Why?

The snake scene--absolutely the snake scene. That’s in the next book, Full Bloom. I hate snakes! I mean, really, I’d rather face a grizzly bear or a wolf, for heaven sakes. But no, my author had to have me face my greatest phobia.

Of the other characters in your book, which one bugs you the most? Why?

Ironically, Nick Manelli bugs me the most. He’s very possessive and overly protective, which has its appeal on occasion, but it can also be maddening. I’ve been independent my whole life, so I don’t like being told what to do. I’d like it better if he agreed with me more when I make a decision. I mean, just because what I want to do is a little dangerous, I should still be able to do it without interference from him.

Of the other characters in your book, which one would you love to trade places with? Why?

I think I might like to trade places with Yolanda Rivera. She’s Nick’s assistant in the police department. She gets to work with him solving crimes. It’s her job. If I worked for Nick, he’d have to share information with me and protecting me would not be a priority. Danger would simply be part of the job. But, then, of course, he and I couldn’t have a relationship, or -- well, you know… So maybe I really wouldn’t want to be Yolanda, after all.

Tell us a little something about your author. Where can readers find her website/blog?

Sally has been a mystery lover ever since she first discovered Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden. She majored in English, then earned her Master’s Degree with a concentration in Shakespearean studies in England. After teaching public school for six years, she moved on to a business career, returning to academia as a professor of English before retiring in 2015. In addition to writing the Holly and Ivy mystery series, Sally also writes the “On Writing, Reading and Retirement” blog, which can be found at her website.

What's next for you?

In our next book, Full Bloom, Ivy and I are looking forward to a relaxing stay in the Catskills after my break-up with Nick Manelli. As luck would have it, our plans are thwarted. The day we arrive at my friend Kate Farmer’s house in rustic Reddington Manor, we discover the body of Kate’s next-door neighbor, Chuck Dwyer, in a pool of blood on his kitchen floor. In a rush to judgment, the local sheriff sets his sights on 17-year old Tommy Cranston, but Kate insists Tommy is innocent. The big question is can we prove that a shifty neighbor, Chuck’s widow and local drug dealers all have better motives for the murder? And, of course, can Ivy and Kate unravel another mystery -- the cause of my break-up with Nick and the chances of our getting back together.

Second Bloom

Holly Donnelly and her sister, Ivy, are reluctantly drawn into the investigation of a neighbor’s murder when Holly’s trusted gardener is accused of the crime.  Holly fears police detective, Nick Manelli, won’t conduct a proper investigation, while Ivy feels the “hunky” Manelli is not only a good cop, but also a possible romantic match for her sister. Can the clues the sisters unearth from neighborhood gossip about the victim’s family, a politically connected neighbor and a powerful real estate developer help save an innocent man, or will the gardening duo dig up more than they bargain for?

#TRAVEL TO EGYPT AND GLASTONBURY WITH GUEST AUTHOR THERESA CRATER

Bestselling and award-winning author Theresa Crater brings ancient temples, lost civilizations, and secret societies back to life in her novels and short stories. Learn more about Theresa and her books at her website.

The Power Places series is all about setting. Certain sites in the world have caught the imagination of humans throughout the ages. Myths and legends have sprung up about them. I like to take those stories and bring them into the present day. I try to visit these sites as often as I can, although I can’t always get to each place.

Under the Stone Paw is set in Egypt. After inheriting a crystal necklace from a mysterious aunt, Anne le Clair begins to have dreams and visions related to the stone. Turns out, it’s one of six keys to the Hall of Records. Many legends have it that there are ancient artifacts beneath the paw of the Sphinx. Some say they’re from the ancient civilization of Atlantis. Others that they’re from a pre-dynastic civilization that built the pyramids and communed with the stars. Tantalizing. So I used a lot of those ideas and opened the Hall of Records in this book. But Anne and her new love Michael do not find what they expect.

My husband leads tours to Egypt, and I’ve gone with him four times. I loved sailing the Nile and visiting the ancient temples, eating exotic foods, shopping in the shouk. Here’s a link to the Souk al Fustat, which is in Cairo and is quite an adventure to walk through. Yes, I even rode a camel near the pyramids. All those sights, sounds, smells, and tastes went into this book.

The second book in the series, Beneath the Hallowed Hill, is set in Glastonbury, the site of ancient Avalon. Avalon has so many myths and stories attached to it that I couldn’t possibly fit it all into one book. The famous Tor is the home of Gwyn ap Nup, king of the fairies. From the Tor run the twin springs, famous for their color, the Red and White Spring. Each has a goddess attached to it, plus more stories. The ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, torn down by the infamous Henry VIII, is said to be the burial site of King Arthur and Guinevere. Joseph of Arimathea, the uncle of Jesus, stuck his staff in the ground when he landed on Wearyall Hill, and it sprouted over night. Descendants of that tree still grow around the town. It blooms twice, a year and a blossom is delivered to the queen. William Blake’s famous poem “Jerusalem” is based on the story that Christ himself accompanied his uncle to Avalon and studied with the Druids and priestesses there. The lines go like this:

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon Englands mountains green:

And was the holy Lamb of God,

On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

It’s England’s second national anthem. Click here to listen.

I’ve visited Glastonbury three times now, and although it’s not as different from American culture as Egypt is, it still has quite a lot of charm. The sites in Glastonbury are filled with peace, and it’s easy to wile away an afternoon wandering Chalice Gardens or climbing the Tor and sitting on the side, watching the green countryside or enjoying a sunset. And then there’s cream tea. Yum.

My next Power Places novel, Return of the Grail King, explores Arthurian legends in a unique way. Then, I’m writing about Cambodia’s ancient sites. I went there last December to experience the beauty and mystery of Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, the South Gate into Angkor Tom known as the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, and the literally hundreds of temples near Siem Reap. Plus, there was the Buddhist monk photographing the monkeys. Wonderful. And the coconuts. Just cut off the top, insert a straw, and enjoy.

When I discovered my ancestors taught sexual equality and sacred sexuality in the 1740s, well, I had to research that. The Moravians are a small Protestant group that started one hundred years before Luther in Prague. They were followers of John Hus, who is famous in Prague. Then, after the Hundred Years War, they resettled in a tiny town they founded, Hernhutt, Germany. After hearing about it all my life, I finally got to go. Then I wrote The Star Family, pretending that those teachings that I found very contemporary and liberating, had been continued into the current time.

Come travel with Anne and Michael as they uncover arcane secrets and combat sinister occult forces.

Under the Stone Paw

A forgotten family legacy.

Six crystal keys.

One shot at unlocking the secrets beneath the Sphinx.

Anne Le Clair, a successful, young attorney, has always managed to remain free from her family’s gothic past—until now. When she inherits her eccentric aunt’s antique necklace though, she finds no escape from its secrets. Anne is immersed in a crash course of forbidden wisdom, secret societies, and her family’s own legacy. She soon discovers that her aunt’s necklace is one of just six powerful “keys” that, when combined with the other five at the appointed time, unlocks the legendary Hall of Records. However, another group, the shadowy Illuminati, is working behind the scenes to uncover the same powerful secrets—and make them their own.
