The Con Man's Daughter
It’s official. The Con Man’s Daughter comes out on October 8th! I’ve created a new town, new characters and this time instead of a murder mystery we get to fall in love, and out of it, and maybe back in it. (It wouldn’t be true love if there weren’t a few bumps along the way, right?) Anna Holcomb has returned to the only place she ever thought of as home, Redbird Creek. The residents of her hometown thought her family was successful and connected. In truth, Anna is trying to hide some major crimes by her father and wants to make it on her own as an honest event planner. She runs into members of her old “mean girl” group, as well as the girl they bullied, Gladys Ledbetter, aka Goopy Gladys. Anna finds she is working closely with Goopy and with handsome chef, Caleb Armstrong, a former boyfriend of the leader of the mean girls. What will Anna do? Continue bullying others to get ahead, or try to become a better person? You can pre-order The Con Man’s Daughter is available for pre-order right now, or you can wait for it to come out on Kindle at Amazon on October 8. Either way, thanks!

The Happy Hinter
Betsy Livingston Fitzpatrick here, Happy Hinter and part-time crime solver. Stuck bringing a treat for a Halloween party or school function? I had a friend show me this one and I’ve been doing it every year. It’s the white chocolate Halloween pretzel bone.
This is what you’ll need:
1 bag of mini-marshmallows
1 package of meltable white chocolate
1 bag of little pretzel sticks
Attach the mini-marshmallows to the ends of the pretzel sticks, making them look like bones. Then melt the white chocolate using your microwave according to the instructions on the package. Once melted, carefully dip the pretzel bones into the white chocolate and lay out on wax paper. They will dry and harden and then you can put them in a Halloween basket or bowl. Trust me, they’ll be the hit of the party.
