Today, September 3rd, is the publication day for Murder with a Terrace View, the first book in the Harrington House Mystery Series. It is now available at all booksellers, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Bookshop.org, etc. 

I am so excited to share the book cover for Murder with a Terrace View. As newsletter subscribers, you get the first look. I like it. I hope you do, too. Palmetto Publishing will publish it in hardback, paperback, and ebook formats on September 3rd. Pre-orders will begin soon.
Yes, there was a slight name change, as recommended by the editor. Technically, the victim is not killed in the Terrace Room of the Harrington House Bed and Breakfast, but on the terrace—thus the name change.

When someone mentions Santorini, most people immediately think of shades of blue— the blue domed white buildings overlooking the cobalt sea as it meets the azure sky. But in Santorini, there is so much more beyond the tourist shops, beautiful vistas, and delicious food. The Prehistoric Village of Akrotiri, the Pompeii of the Aegean, lies on the southwest coast of Santorini.

Happy Leap Day, Happy New Year and Happy Valentine's Day
I know I’m a little late. Things have been very crazy here. After a lovely trip to Scotland for our nephew’s wedding, Larry had a hip replacement, and after a few complications, he is now well on the road to recovery.
I wanted to let you know about some upcoming events happening in the Sarasota-Bradenton-Venice area that may catch your attention.

Happy Spring Everyone:

I hope you all are doing well. I’ve received both of my COVID shots and I’m looking forward to traveling to see my daughter and granddaughter in Cincinnati next month. Read on to see what's coming up:

An important and enjoyable part of my writing process is research. I’ve just hit 40,000 words into Book #4 of the Mariposa Café Mystery Series, which continues the Devereaux Gallery’s ghost story. In Mistletoe and Missing Persons, our heroine, Libby, and a newcomer in town, Steve Devereaux, uncover a skeleton while renovating the art gallery. As a result, the Mariposa Beach Tourist Commission, in partnership with a local tour company, wants to bring a ghost tour to town. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
