Guess what? Happy Homicides 6 is officially out and I have even more prizes for you! I am excited to be a part of my sixth book with this anthology series. Because it is Down Syndrome Awareness month I wrote a story for Danny, my character with DS.   After finding out about the authors and their stories, be sure to find the Prize Guy. We have a heck of a giveaway for this one…but wait there’s more…a bonus file full of recipes from the authors. 

This is our biggest anthology yet! Fifteen multi-published and bestselling authors have written short stories to entertain, baffle, and amuse you. As always, the book includes an email address so you can send away for a bonus file full of recipes and craft ideas that go with each story.
