I have exciting news to share with my readers! I'm writing the Caprice De Luca home staging mystery series for Kensington Books. This year, I was given a vote of confidence with a contract for three more. So Caprice will definitely have a six book series. But... I received the wonderful news last week that I have been contracted for a brand new cozy mystery series--DAISY SWANSON'S TEA GARDEN mystery series. Yes, the books will have a tea garden setting and I'll be serving lots of tea!
I'll unfold more details in the upcoming year, but these novels will be set in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in a fictional small town. I'll be able to incorporate everything I like best about the Susquehanna Valley, the beautiful country around Lancaster, and the unique crafts in the area.
I love Caprice and will be involved in her books because she's so much like me! But I already love Daisy, too. She has a wonderful Aunt Iris who runs the tea garden with her. She also has two daughters and they have two cats. (No surprise there!)
Stay tuned for more details. I chat with my readers on Facebook, Twitter and in my newsletter so you can always know what I'm working on.
Have a wonderful rest of the summer.
Best,
Karen
My mother's nickname was Daisy , and she raised me with tea at every meal since I was about 7. Sure you didn't know my mom?!?!?

Congrats! What fabulous news! Where I live in upstate NY is also considered to be part of the Susquahana Valley, and it really is beautiful here. (And I can vouch for the crafts, since I run an artist's cooperative shop!)
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to hear your news.
