Five Reasons Sunny Days and Cozy Mysteries are the Perfect Pairing

by 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.

Why Kindle Unlimited Is a Bookaholic’s Dream Come True

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 is Out!

by Leave a Comment

Cheese Louise, book one of the CHEESE LOUISE COZY MYSTERY series, is finally out and available for purchase. But the prequel, Follow Brie, is available for FREE to members of The Night Club. Keep reading for the inside slice. Ha! See what I did there? 🧀🧀🧀

*** There are affiliate links in this post ***

After months – okay, a year and a half – of talking about it, the first book in the CHEESE LOUISE COZY MYSTERY series is finally here. Cheese Louise is available for purchase in ebook AND paperback on Amazon, and it’s also in Kindle Unlimited. 😱

If it came in rinds and wheels, they sold it. But can she keep the lights on when her bestie turns blue?

Gertie Pratt wouldn’t call it a gift. Although her psychic senses have been dormant for thirty years, the cheese shop employee is happy she married a good man. But the forty-nine-year-old’s visions return with a vengeance when her witchy friend and boss is found dead… and it was no accident.

Returning home heartbroken only to walk in on her husband in another woman’s arms, Gertie dumps her cheating spouse and pursues her dream of being a detective. But in between juggling a hunky cop’s distractingly rugged looks, a landlord forcing her out of business, and the dearly deceased’s interfering coven, Gertie manages to bungle every interaction.

Can she use her unique powers to grill all the suspects without losing the fromagerie… and her life?

AND… There’s a FREE prequel novella

Tag along as the main characters from Cheese Louise – Gertie, Logan, and Louise – solve their first crime, almost 25 years before Cheese Louise.

An abusive ex-boyfriend, a creepy stalker, and a secret she won’t share with anyone. Did the cheese heiress go into hiding, or was she kidnapped?

Gertie has spent years repressing her psychic “curse” and hiding her powers. So when Brie Fisher goes missing, the last thing Gertie wants to do is use her abilities to try to find her. She is terrified she’ll be branded a freak by her friends. But Gertie was the last person to see Brie, and she senses there is more to Brie’s disappearance than a friend who doesn’t want to be found. 

Can Gertie use her unique powers to Follow Brie, or will she be the next one to disappear? 

Luckily, witchy best friend, Louise Lightly and her hunky brother, Logan, are there to help Gertie track Brie and run interference with the suspects.

The prequel is free, but it is only available to members of my reader group, The Night Club. Do you want to join the party and download Follow Brie? Then click here to get started – easy peasy.

Thanks for following along on this journey.

That’s it for now, y’all!
