Book Description

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for the knitters of Fort Connor, Colorado, who are furiously working on their holiday projects. And it’s not a stitch too soon, because some unfortunate resident will be feeling a deadly chill instead of holiday cheer… This Yuletide, Kelly Flynn and friends are helping the town's librarian, Juliet, teach children how to knit. Juliet has fallen in love—but just as she finds happiness, death finds her, facedown in her Christmas cape. Suspicion falls on a newcomer, a widow with a puzzling past, who—some believe—was sweet on Juliet's boyfriend. But Kelly and her knitting crew aren't convinced. It's up to them to find a killer—before someone else gets fleeced. “A perfect read…when snuggling down after the turkey dinner has been devoured.” –Mystery Books News

Book Description

Bittersweet memories, delicious recipes, and fabulous feasts await you in Feliz Nochebuena, Feliz Navidad, a sumptuous introduction to the history of Christmas celebrations in the Hispanic Caribbean. Beginning with her own memories of spit-roasted pork "with a garlicky Seville orange adobo" and holidays desserts such as turrones, mazapán, and buñuelos, author Maricel E. Presilla takes us on a journey through the history of Christmas in the Hispanic islands. As she describes all of the foods of Christmas Eve (Nochebuena) and Christmas Day, she tells us about the peoples from around the world who brought their ingredients and recipes to the table. We meet Arabs whose almond trees yielded the key ingredient in mazapán; Taino farmers who grew yuca; Spanish conquistadores who hunted pigs like in medieval Europe; African slaves who combined rice and peas to create flavorful new dishes. As she introduces each group of peoples and their foods, Dr. Presilla gives us carefully tested recipes that allow readers of all ages to join in on the feast. Ismael Espinosa Ferrer's vibrant, colorful paintings evoke the magic of holidays in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and now the United States.

Spring is in the air of Fort Connor, Colorado—and it’s a time of new beginnings for the House of Lambspun knitters. But for Kelly Flynn, a March chill lingers as she tries to mend her broken heart…and solve a cold-blooded crime. Kelly’s longtime romance has come apart at the seams. To distract herself, she burrows into her demanding consulting business, hangs out with her knitting pals, and takes on the challenge of knitting a scarf from gorgeous unraveled silken sari yarn. When Kelly accompanies her friend Jennifer to meet with Jen’s new real estate client, the two women discover him shot in his own home. The client, Fred Turner, had a reputation for being difficult at best, unscrupulous at worst, and had a long list of enemies—from his estranged wife to bitter business associates. Unraveling the tangle of clues may prove to be Kelly’s greatest challenge yet. But it’s the only way to catch a killer who’s anything but sorry…

Book Description

In ""Alpacalypse Now,"" Tina Shears, a former Wall Street hotshot, finds herself thrust into the world of alpaca farming in the quaint town of Woolville. This fish-out-of-water tale blends sharp wit with absurdist humor as Tina fumbles through her new rural responsibilities, armed with nothing but her city smarts and a herd of surprisingly clever alpacas. The stakes rise when she uncovers a nefarious plot by a big agriculture corporation to transform Woolville into an industrial complex, forcing her to rally a ragtag group of quirky townsfolk to save their community. As Tina hilariously attempts to apply her corporate strategies to farm life, readers are treated to a delightful array of alpaca-themed puns and running gags. The novel cleverly satirizes both corporate culture and small-town dynamics, while weaving in themes of community, personal growth, and the unexpected wisdom found in the simplest of places. Through Tina's journey of learning to slow down and appreciate rural life, ""Alpacalypse Now"" offers a heartwarming and hilarious exploration of the paths life can take when we least expect it.
