From USA Today & Wall Street Journal Best-selling Author Sandi Scott.

Feisty sexagenarian Georgie Kaye is up to her eyelashes in superheroes. It’s the opening day of Wizard-Hero Con, a yearly gathering of writers, illustrators and vendors focused on the serious (and not so serious) business of graphic novels.

Georgie is in her element, nobody bats an eye at her costumes and even Aleta is dressing up and getting into the spirit of things. There are plenty of Elephant Ear pastries to keep the twins fed and happy, but when one of the conference headliners is found dead at the opening night mixer, Georgie dons steampunk goggles and starts investigating.

Hot on the trail of stolen superhero ideas, Georgie needs to figure out who did the deed. Ex-husband Stan is happy to see her at first, unfortunately not everybody on Stan’s team is equally excited. Georgie finds herself dealing with an unexpected stalker as she races to solve the mystery before she becomes the next victim of a crazed killer.

This is a humorous cozy mystery featuring a strong female protagonist with a lifetime of experiences, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic violence, bad language or sex. It is part of the Pet Portraits Cozy Series but can be read as a standalone.

THE DETECTIVES

Suzy Spencer

After her husband runs off with his PA, part-time TV producer Suzy is left to bring up their children alone in quiet, rural Tarnfield. Despite only moving there for Nick’s work, she’s actually grown to like the pace of village life, and has thrown herself into volunteering with the church.

the gift

. Now she’s seeing spirits hanging from rafters and rushing home to make her son dinner.

Pour yourself a cup of tea and sit tight, because I've got a crazy ghost story for you. Truth is, it’s not a story. It’s reality. My reality.I've got a secret - I can see ghosts. It's been that way ever since I took a fall down a flight of stairs and hit my head on the fancy marble floor of the Castleberry Historical Society. Since then, these apparitions just keep showing up, and they've got some hefty demands.One ghost in particular haunts the local BBQ joint in our quant small-town, which, in her defense, used to be her house. She’s been dangling from a rafter ever since her father found her there over one hundred years before. Nobody but me seems to see her, and figuring out what she wants is no easy task. But when the restaurant owner is found dead, and I was the last person with him, I need my ghostly ally to help me track down the real killer. The only way to do that is to uncover the truth about her own untimely demise.These days, my life is a juggling act between raising my tween son alone (while his father cozies up with the woman who wrecked my life), my new job managing the historical society, and the ghosts that haunt me twenty-four-seven. Talk about a sudden midlife change! At least there's a charming detective who gets my heart racing every time I see him. But I've got a job to do, and I won't let any distractions get in the way.

(Maybe)

And I’m not doing it alone. My new friends, a crowd of eccentric Southern ladies (one who only wears Dolly Parton wigs), help me solve these ghostly crimes while gathering at the town’s gossip hub, the Community Café.I'm Chantilly Adair, and I'm your connection to the dead.If you're a fan of cozy mysteries with a touch of the paranormal, and middle aged amateur sleuths, then the first book in my series, the Midlife in Castleberry Cozy Mystery, is right up your alley.
