Cozy mystery

Dog-Gone Dead 2.0

Happy Monday, friends!

Dog-Gone Dead was originally released in June 2020. The original publisher retired and returned the rights to me for the first three books in A Low Country Dog Walker series.

Today is the release of the revised version of Dog-Gone Dead.

If you enjoy small-town coastal life, come back to Heyward Beach, South Carolina for the second book in this cozy mystery series.

Who’d have thought mulch could cause such a stink?

Low Country dog walker Andi Grace Scott is happy to score some free mulch from one of her brother’s landscaping jobs—until she discovers the dead body buried beneath the bark.

Worse, her brother’s landscaping tools were used to commit the murder. Once the police arrest her brother and seem happy to have “caught their man,” Andi Grace has no choice but to track down the real killer. She’ll risk everything to prove her brother’s innocence. Even if it means turning over every rock in town.

One reviewer, jetangen said, “The characters are wonderful, the world building is great, and the dogs are really special.

Thanks, jetangen! Thanks everybody who has been kind enough to leave a review of my books!

In the six years since this book was originally published, I have learned how important book reviews are. Good reviews increase book sales, get more book contracts, TV deals, and audio offers. Reviews are huge!

As always, happy reading!

The Occupation Thesaurus

Today’s post is geared toward writers, but I think readers might be curious how we come up with careers for our characters.

The creators of The Emotion Thesaurus have now created The Occupation Thesaurus. Becca Puglisi and Angela Ackerman are the hard-working authors of this series of books.

Finding the right career can show the reader your character’s beliefs, longings, and what concerns them. For instance, Andi Grace Scott is a caretaker. In A Low Country Dog Walker Mystery series, you’ll discover how she takes care of family, friends, and dogs.

The Occupation Thesaurus will help authors choose the best profession for their protagonist and the secondary characters. There are over one-hundred-twenty entries, and this book is as amazing as the others they’ve published. I received an ARC, but I’ll buy the paperback to have in my library.

It releases on July 17, so keep your eyes open my friends!
