Release Blitz--Essentials of Murder



 

Cozy Mystery

Date Published: 09/24/2024

Publisher: Harbor Lane Books, LLC.



After a scandalous arrest in San Francisco, Carissa Carmichael has moved back to her small Southern California hometown to start over as she opens her Aromatherapy Apothecary shop and reflexology services. A tourist destination, Oak Creek Valley, seems the perfect place to put the past behind her, but it seems no one will let her forget. When she finds the man who threatened to drive her out of business murdered in her shop, Carissa becomes the primary suspect, especially when her fingerprints are found on the murder weapon. Despite her father’s position as Oak Creek Valley’s chief of police, most townspeople assume she’s guilty.

Refusing to run again, Carissa knows she must prove her innocence to save her shop and save her father’s career when the investigating detective turns his focus on her. With suspects acting as slippery as the essential oils she distills, it’s up to Carissa to apply pressure and sniff out the truth before it’s too late.

 

Includes essential oil and reflexology tips.

So, What's Up?

So, what's up with me? I'm writing a second-chance romance tentatively titled The Second Time Around. My couple in this one were married, with a pre-teen son. (Oh, and I just realized his mother was the only person who wanted them divorced.). Angie was never good enough for her son. I'm at the halfway point now. I have a few scenes foreshadowed, so I have enough things happening for the next couple of chapters. This is usually the place where I get writer's block. Here is the last thing I wrote yesterday. (Of course, this is a first draft and I'm still working on this scene. So beware!) “Not as loud as mine and Matt’s.” Gail glanced over at the desk. “It only got worse when he started playing in college.” “Oh, I remember that.” Drew laughed, grinning like the boy he used to be. “And I can’t wait to do the same to Jeff and Kelly.” Laughter rang out, bringing back the past.
