The arrival of October is always a reason to celebrate. Fall break, Halloween decorations, and candle weather make for a perfect month. But this year, there’s something extra special about October first—it’s the publication day of the second Sweet Dreams book, Pralines and Creamed.
When planning my YA cozy mystery series, I knew one of the books had to be an October story. Whether it’s Hocus Pocus or Halloween, there’s just something about the spooky season in a small town. Pralines and Creamed has plenty of tricks and treats, including killer desserts, a costume party, and another shocking murder in Pinewood, Arizona. Not to worry of course—our trusty teenage heroine and her BFF are on the case. Get your copy here!
(And if you still haven’t grabbed your copy of the first book in the series, Murder by Milkshake, it’s FREE on Kindle this week!)
It’s the spooky season in Pinewood, Arizona, and when Genevieve Winterland isn’t creating killer new recipes for Sweet Dreams Ice Cream Parlour, she’s helping BFF Brandon Summers prepare for the party of the year. Brandon’s parents own Hidden Treasures Bookstore, where famed horror writer Jack Kelley is launching his latest novel on Halloween night.
Brandon’s dad isn’t thrilled that the arrogant Kelley, who was once sweet on Mrs. Summers, has chosen their store for his big event. Still, there’s no denying the author draws a huge crowd. Which makes it hard to narrow down a suspect list when Kelley drops dead onstage—the victim of a shocking murder straight out of his own book.
Fresh off Pinewood’s last cold case, Genevieve is happy to let the police handle this one. But when frosty Detective Christie zeroes in on Brandon’s dad as her prime suspect, Genevieve decides to take matters into her own hands. Can she get the scoop and solve the mystery haunting her hometown?
