Going out with a Bang: the trifecta

 Hey Everyone,

The Great Escapes Virtual Book Tour for my Candle With Care is drawing to an end today and boy is it a big bang! The book is featured at three different tour sites. There's a Spicy Pecans recipe at Deal Sharing Aunt, a character interview of Harley the cat by a cat from another series at Sneaky the Library Cat's blog and then, best of all, a fab review of the book at Storybook Lady's Facebook page. That's good food, good fun, and good news! What a fab trifecta of blog posts.

 


Here are today's hyperlinks:

BOOK BIRTHDAY FOR CANDLE WITH CARE


 Today, Tuesday, Feb. 11, is the release day of CANDLE WITH CARE, book 4 in A Magic Candle Shop Mystery series, which I write under the pen name of Valona Jones. This book features amateur sleuth Tabby Winslow, a psychic and candlemaker who is a fraternal twin to her sister Sage. The twins live in Savannah, GA, and they co-own and operate The Book and Candle Shop on Bristol Street.

In CANDLE WITH CARE, Detective Sharmila Belfor is seriously injured from a hit-and-run accident when she is off duty. Soon thereafter, Sage's former coworker and friend, Larry Rau is murdered in his home. Then the twins' high school nemesis is kidnapped, and her mother begs Tabby to investigate. To make matters worse, Milly Quigsly, Tabby's fiance's mom, is throwing them an engagement shower and now Tabby has to come up with a suitable pastel gown for the June occasion. How on earth can she possibly get everything done, investigated, and bought when she's working full-time in the candle shop? Can Tabby identify the culprit(s?) before she becomes the next victim?

 CANDLE WITH CARE is available in print and digital format across the web.
