Happy Book Birthday

Two of my good friends had a book release this week.

I’ve read Heather Weidner’s Murder Strikes a Chord already, and it’s a winner.

The Pearly Girls return to solve a high school reunion murder in this sequel to Murder Strikes a Chord.

Event planner Cassidy Jamison and her not-so-helpful sexagenarian staff of Roxie, Kate, Aileen, and Ruthanne are up to their elbows with a high school reunion committee’s constantly changing requirements for an event that must be the most elaborate and memorable at all costs.

When well-known reporter, Darcy Branch, and former cheerleader, Brittany Mahoney, are found dead on her property, Cassidy and the gang have to find the killer before the party’s over. And the more Cassidy and her Chihuahua mix, Elvis, dig for clues, the more deadly secrets they uncover—including one that changes everything she knows about her family’s history.

The Pearly Girls need to solve the case before the Class of 2009 goes down in Ivy Springs history as the deadliest reunion.

The Sasquatch of Hurricane Ridge by my friend, KB Jackson, also released this week.

Cryptids beware . . . Jake, Jasmine, and Lanny, the Sasquatch Hunters of Washington, Inc., are at it again in the fourth book of the ever-popular Sasquatch Hunters series!

Fresh from their adventure in Scotland, the Sasquatch Hunters are headed to the Olympic Peninsula, the place where it all began when Jake’s grandpa first saw a Bigfoot. However, they aren’t the only ones pursuing the legendary cryptids on the peninsula. The crew of Jake’s favorite TV show, Bigfoot Believers, is filming an episode there. Another young team of Sasquatch stalkers also arrives. Will a friendly rivalry turn ugly? And which team will be the first to prove Bigfoot exists and get their TV show shot at fame?

Jake, Jasmine, and Lanny, members of The Sasquatch Hunters of Washington, Inc., are in for their greatest challenge yet as they encounter extreme competition in their quest to locate a Bigfoot. In author K.B. Jackson’s fourth title in the series, readers will dive even further into the adventures of the Sasquatch hunters but also learn more about the characters themselves and how their personal lives come to define their friendships.

Congratulations to Heather and Kate!

Happy reading, friends!
