Fern Valley Cozy Mystery Series
Good morning,
I hope this message finds you warm and cozy! I’m thrilled to report that we weathered Winter Storm Fern unscathed, and all is well on my end. I trust you all found ways to stay snug and entertained during the storm! Click the image below to see the snow falling on our property that I recorded on Saturday night (before it turned to sleet)!

This week, I’m excited to share our featured author, who is offering her free book. Alongside their spotlight, I have several honorable mentions of other fantastic authors who have penned delightful mysteries that you won’t want to miss. Plus, don’t forget to explore our specially curated cozy mystery book collection, perfect for those cozy reading sessions at home.
Thank you for being part of our cozy community, and happy reading!
Love,

Today's Free Feature: A Dash of Murder
Trapped by a storm. Suspected of murder. Saved by a dog with nowhere else to go.
Ex-hotel accountant Sylvia Bennett skids into the wrong inn on the worst night. Over thyme-scented stew, Grandma Jo's laughter draws stranded guests together. The lobby becomes a makeshift family. And by morning, the innkeeper Harris is dead.
Lucky, the victim's limping spaniel, decides she's his person—whether she's ready or not.
When someone hides an oil-stained wrench in Sylvia's locker, the same tight-knit town is ready to believe the worst about the outsider.
Her trained eye catches what others miss: the pointed silences when someone says Harris, the florist's grief she can't quite hide, the desk clerk who flinched at his presence. Everyone had a motive.
Under Lucky's steady gaze, Sylvia starts to wonder if she can trust the intuition she's spent years doubting.
The detective's filing charges. Lucky—the only witness—can't speak.
Sylvia must follow a trail of oil and silences before she loses her freedom, her future, and the spaniel who chose her first.
