Cooking up a Mystery is a Kindle Monthly Deal
Blurb:
Laney
Eskridge worked to put her husband through dental school. Then he left with
another woman. She's on edge from the emotional scars and her parents' deaths.
Then she hears unexplained noises in her new tea house, and her anxiety is
tripled. Add a budding romance with Eric—a guy with a fear of commitment—and
it's all too much to handle. She cuts ties with Eric and plunges into making
her business pay off.
When
Eric discovers that Laney's in danger, he vows to protect her. But can he make
a lasting promise? Will she trust him? . . .and when they overhear a threat
that could cause national turmoil, will anyone believe them? There's more
brewing than herbal tea in Cooking up a Mystery.

2 If a
film were made about you, who would you want to play you? [Audrey Hepburn]

mother and it’s delicious.]
4 Cats or
dogs [Dogs, but not in my kitchen in my tea house]
5 What
one thing would you remove from your daily routine and why [Having to clean the
bakery case in the dining area late at night after I close. While I’m doing it
I hear someone banging around in my kitchen, but when I go in there, no one’s
there and nothing’s disturbed. It’s scary.]
6 Tea or
coffee [Oh, that’s hard. I like both, but it depends on the time of day]
7 Describe
yourself in one word [Determined]
8 If you
could change one thing about your personality what would it be [I’d stop hating

And now
the author interview. You are marooned on a desert island with unlimited food
and drink. You have a copy of the Bible and the full works of Shakespeare.
You can
also take 8 pieces of music, one other book and a luxury item which isn’t a
person, a way of escaping the island or a way of communication.
Gail Pallotta for the
author interview
Unlimited food and drink
To eat I’d like unlimited
amounts of fish, pot roast, steak, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, broccoli,
cabbage and other veggies. I’m a big fan of fresh vegetables. I even like
rhubarb. Is that a vegetable? I think it is. Then I would want yogurt, including
chocolate, of course, and smoothies. Lots of dessert, anything chocolate, fruit
pies and pecan pie.
To drink I would want an
endless supply of high grade filtered water, tea of all kinds and herbal
coffee.
Music
I love music, any kind as
long as it’s well done, so it’s hard to choose, but here goes. “How Great Thou
Art,” sung by Elvis Pressley; “Ebb Tide,” because it’s relaxing; Tchaikovsky
Concerto #1, because it’s amazing; “Make the World Go Away,” by Eddie Arnold;
“Crazy” by Patsy Cline; “God, We Believe For It” by Cece Winans; “I Will Always
Love You” by Whitney Houston. Oh, that’s nine already, and there are more.
A book besides the Bible
and Shakespeare
One other book? Really? Oh
my, An American Tragedy by
Theodore Dreiser. (Being a U.S. Southerner, I have to say I’d also like Gone with the Wind by
Margaret Mitchell.)
