It’s release day for Columbus Day Conundrum

I have really enjoyed writing this crossover from my popular Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery where Violet Rhinehammer finally got her own series.

I love writing c

“Jephus Hardy?"
Stunned. My jaw dropped when I saw Cephus Hardy walk up to me in the magazine aisle of Artie's Meat and Deli. I was admiring the cover of Cock and Feathers, where my last client at Eternal Slumber Funeral Home, Chicken Teater, graced the cover with his prize Orloff Hen, Lady Cluckington.”
