Five Reasons Sunny Days and Cozy Mysteries are the Perfect Pairing

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

Hey Y’all!

Greetings from Texas! It’s one of those beautiful days that makes you want to grab a book, pour a glass of wine, and soak up the sunshine. But as much as I’d love to be outdoors, I couldn’t resist taking a moment to share why cozy mysteries are the ultimate companion for a sunny day.

1. Sunshine Calls for Escapism
There’s nothing better than letting your mind wander to a charming, mysterious small town. Whether it’s the paranormal shenanigans of Cheese Louise or a trip into vampire-infused urban fantasy, a cozy read adds that perfect dash of adventure.

2. Sunshine and Wine Pair Beautifully with Humor
Cozy mysteries often come with a side of snark and humor. Add a crisp glass of white wine, and you’ve got yourself a delightful combo. (May I recommend a cheeky Viognier?)

3. The Setting Inspires Exploration
Many cozy mysteries are set in quaint locations that remind us to slow down and appreciate life’s simple pleasures. It’s a bit like exploring your own sunny backyard or neighborhood.

4. Quick Reads for Busy Days
On days when sunshine calls, cozy mysteries are just the right length to devour in one sitting. Plus, they’re perfect for Kindle Unlimited readers!

5. They’re Just Plain Fun
At the end of the day, who doesn’t love a light-hearted escape with quirky characters, a dash of danger, and a guaranteed happy ending?

Call-to-Action:
Ready to escape into a cozy mystery? Check out Cheese Louise on Amazon. It’s on Kindle Unlimited! And if you want even more reading fun, join my newsletter for updates, freebies, and behind-the-scenes tidbits about my writing.

Happy Reading!

Why Kindle Unlimited Is a Bookaholic’s Dream Come True

by J.C. Keough Leave a Comment

Hey Y’all!

It’s a gorgeous day here in Texas, but before I head outside to enjoy the sunshine, I wanted to share a little something for my fellow bookaholics. If you haven’t tried Kindle Unlimited yet, let me tell you—it’s a game changer for readers who love devouring stories faster than I can drink a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

All of my ebooks are available in the Kindle Unlimited subscription program from Amazon.

Here’s the scoop: Kindle Unlimited lets you read as many books as you want for one flat monthly fee. That’s right—unlimited books. It’s like an all-you-can-read buffet, and for those of us who can never get enough cozy mysteries, urban fantasies, or swoon-worthy romances, it’s the perfect way to feed our literary appetites without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re diving into my Cheese Louise series or following Laramie Harper on her latest vampire-filled adventure, Kindle Unlimited gives you access to thousands of books just waiting to be discovered. No guilt, no limits—just pure, unadulterated reading bliss. Many of my favorite authors’ books are included.

So, if you’re the type to finish one book and immediately start the next (you know who you are!), do yourself a favor and check out Kindle Unlimited. It’s the best way to keep your TBR pile full without emptying your wallet. With the monthly subscription option, you can cancel anytime.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s sunshine to enjoy and books to write. See y’all soon!

Happy reading!

Cheese Louise: Cheese Louise Cozy Mystery Book One: Good read I enjoyed reading Cheese Louise. It is a fun murder mystery that keeps you entertained and wondering who the killer is. There are many suspects in the book, but the real killer is not who you thought it would be. Ms Keough, the author, has a way of writing that makes you hate to put her book down. I hope to read more books from her in the future.

Cheese Louise: Cheese Louise Cozy Mystery Book One: An excellent Summer Read!!! I couldn't wait for this book to come out! I read the prequel, Follow, Follow Brie, and it was excellent. It is well written and humorous with a surprise ending, which made me excited for the next book in the series., The setting is in the Dallas, Texas area and I just love Keough's word choice that takes me back to Texas! Very authentic! Cheese Louise picks up the storyline, a few years later, and I still love characters, suspense, and surprises. This is a great summer read.

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): Laramie is growing. I can't say it was bigger in Texas but it was a different story. The book can standalone. The ending was brutal with punished betrayal. I'm not sure I agreed with the punishment since she gives others far more leeway. The people she should be avoiding, her Mom and sister, she doesn't. There is nothing funny in the abuse she takes from them. And no, there is no way a Mom who loved her would act like that. Laramie is developing into more of a person though still naïve with tendencies that could drive anyone away. The friends she has are great, what an odd assortment of known and unknown. I'm looking forward to seeing what the next book brings.

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): The Blood Will Tell said it all Such a fun read! While I don't suggest skipping the first book of the chronicles (Dying in Dallas), you will still enjoy "The Blood Will Tell" even if you didn't. Much like our vampire host, Laramie, our author J.C. Keough has found her pulse and keeps you reading.Keough did a beautiful job of recapping the first book, for those who haven't read it, while inviting you to a Halloween party at her mansion, The Madam. All of the characters come to life and you are drawn in to the party along with the other guests of cheating spouses, family drama, questionable friends and vampires in disguise who crash the party. You sympathize with Laramie as she tries to find love again and figure out who are friends and foes.Make sure to have a bottle of wine handy, as it is flows throughout the party, and your dog close by as dogs are always welcomed at The Madam.

The Blood Will Tell: A Laramie Harper Halloween Novella (The Laramie Harper Chronicles): The perfect amount of twists and turns... The Whine Barrel, located in the beautiful Victorian home owned by Laramie Harper, is just about ready to open for business. Laramie has decided to throw a Halloween party to entice guests to her new business in the hopes of attracting future business. The party appears to be a smashing success with costumed party goers, pint sized ghosts, and of course - vampires. Things are finally going Laramie’s way.....or are they? This novella was a joy to read with just enough twists and turns to keep you wanting more without being confusing. I can’t wait for the next installation in the Laramie Harper chronicles.
