It’s Here, It’s Here

death-threads-new

It’s official. DEATH THREADS–the second book in my Southern Sewing Circle Mystery Series–hits bookstores nationwide today.  Woo-hoo!!! 

And, if you don’t mind me saying…I adore this book. It’s funny, it’s unexpected, and the characters ran all over me with this one.

(Click on the cover for a better look)

Here’s what it says on the back cover:

Tori Sinclair is basking in the warmth of her new circle of friends. That is until local author Colby Calhoun reveals an unflattering secret about the town’s historic past. He soon finds that when you fray the stitches on the ladies’ cloak of southern hospitality, things are bound to fall apart…

Then Colby disappears, leaving a trail of blood but few clues to his possible murder. Tori looks to her sewing circle to help her cut through Sweet Briar’s tight weave of ancient feuds and alliances to find him. But when she sees a pattern of townsfolk’s age-old southern pride standing in the way of justice, she knows it’s time to unravel the mystery.

So there you have it.  My book.

And remember, don’t forget my launch-week-challenge (scroll down two days for more details), there’s a possible t-shirt in it for you.

Oh, and one more thing… I’m celebrating today’s launch with some guest blogs. First up, I’m over at Meritorious Mysteries (www.mysteryheel.blogspot.com) talking about whether I’m like my protagonist or not.  And then, at some point today, you can find me on Random Thoughts (www.skmayhew.blogspot.com) talking about writing.  So come on over and say hi, okay?

    Thanks, everyone!!!! And thank you, Sharon for hosting me on your blog!

    Mary…remember, if he finds it in a store and takes a picture of it (and you’re one of the first 10 to send it to me with the store name/when), you’ll win a Southern Sewing Circle t-shirt.

    Congratulations! I hope to get to my local bookstore this weekend. It is a small independent (Best of Books) here in Edmond, OK but they have writer signings at least once a month.
