It’s been a little while, I know, but I *have* sent out two newsletters (subscribe here!) since my last blog post, so I’m not totally slacking off with the updates. And this is a really fun one.
First things first: book 2 in the Olive Bright mystery series, A VALIANT DECEIT, will be out in late January 2022! It’s available for pre-order now, and I’ve linked my local indie, the marvelous Murder by the Book in Houston, which will have signed copies! The book is also up on Goodreads and BookBub, if you’d like to add it there.
As part of the promotion for A VALIANT DECEIT, I’ve created a crossword puzzle based on some of my favorite historical mysteries series. I figure that the sort of people who love following the clues of a good mystery are the very sort who love the challenge inherent in solving crossword puzzles. (I know I do!) I had so much fun creating this puzzle, and I tried, as much as possible, not to make the clues too difficult. But I will add a disclaimer…there are a few weird ones. As this is my first puzzle, I hope I can be forgiven.
The crossword is sized for 5×7 postcards, which have been printed for giveaways and in-person events (cross your fingers). But it’s perfectly suited for printing, so go forth and download the PDF! Best of luck with it, and let me know how I did! I hope you won’t need an answer key, but I’ve linked to it, just in case.
