Author Description:
Cindy Blackburn writes cozy mysteries because she thinks grim reality is way overrated. When she's not thinking up unlikely plot twists and ironing out the quirks and kinks of her lovable characters, Cindy is feeding her fat cat Betty or taking long walks with her cute hubby John. A native Vermonter who hates snow, Cindy divides her time between the south and the north. Most of the year you'll find her in South Carolina. But come summer she'll be on the porch of her lakeside shack in Vermont. Yep, it's a place very similar to Lake Elizabeth. Cindy's favorite TV show is The Big Bang Theory, her favorite movie is Moonstruck, and her favorite color is purple. Cindy dislikes vacuuming, traffic, and lima beans.

Will Arthur and his security staff be able to stop the murder? It’s a good thing Arthur bought Killer, a big mastiff guard dog, along with him to the special dinner event. Sometimes it helps to have a dog for backup!

The twenty-sixth novel in the Pam of Babylon Series, The Last Trip to Brooklyn answers the question, Will Pam find joy again?
It’s that uncertain time between summer and fall, when the joy of the freedom of summer segues to the sadness of autumn and impending death. The end of beach parties and bonfires, and the beginning of fallen leaves and decay. Pam’s peace is fragile, and she’s avoided romance to maintain it, since Dan walked out of her life.
Then crushingly, loneliness is at its pinnacle when her mother, Nelda comes to visit, wanting to take a trip into Brooklyn. While they experience happy memories of a lifetime as mother and daughter, Pam decides to make a trip to the gym, leaving Nelda alone, watching TV in Jack's old recliner, opening a Pandora's Box.
A series of events fueled by Dan's girlfriend, Judge Lydia Cooper paves the way for romance, fun in the snow, and an eye opening revelation.

April Fool Proposition
A Moment in Time Book 5
Author: Joan Reeves
AVAILABLE at Amazon
Matchmaker gone wild! That's the label that should be plastered on the forehead of her friend's mom, romance author Lorelei Lorelle aka Margaret Smith. Unfortunately, Brenna O'Reilly is late to realize that she's part of a romance plot using real people rather than fictional characters.
Brenna is the middle button—that's what her grandmother who raised her and her older sister and younger brother—called her. Her sister was the wild child; her brother is the smart, happy-go-lucky player. Brenna is the responsible one who takes care of everyone.
In her quest to fulfill that role, she's given up every part of herself and become the even-tempered, responsible young woman on whom everyone depends.
She doesn't realize she's put her personal life on hold. When her friend's mom tells Brenna her sister Maura won't commit to the man she loves because she's afraid Brenna will be alone, she plants the seed of an idea for Brenna to pretend to have a lover of her own, and that Dr. Travis Larsen is the perfect man to play the part of her pretend lover.
Brenna doesn't realize until too late that her friend's mom, a noted romance author, has set her up! What will Brenna do when she learns the woman has her own agenda for throwing Brenna and Travis together? Will Travis settle for being a pretend lover? Will Brenna cut loose and yield to her own desires?

At their country house, Joan and her hero, her husband, sit on the porch at night, look up at the star-studded sky, and listen to the coyotes howl.
Joan lives the philosophy that is the premise of all of her romance novels: "It's never too late to live happily ever after."
