On February 1, I’ll be officially joining the Booklovers Bench crew. I was a member of this group a few years ago, left for a while, but now I’m back. The thing I love about the group these days is it’s all cozy mystery authors. From cozy cooks to crafts to quaint B&B’s, we’ve all got a side of murder with a tale to tell. If you like your mysteries cozy, why not check out our the books from my fellow cozyists? Find us all at bookloversbench.com. And remember to check the Booklovers Bench website after February 1 so you can join our monthly contest!
