Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Kate Carlisle, in Agatha award-winning author Cynthia Kuhn’s series debut, small-town bookseller and literary event planner Emma Starrs is out to close the book on a killer intent on crashing the party. To help save her family’s floundering Colorado bookstore, Starlit Bookshop, newly minted Ph.D. Emma Starrs agrees to plan a mystery-themed dinner party for her wealthy, well-connected high school classmate Tabitha Baxter. It’s a delightful evening of cocktails and conjecture until Tabitha’s husband, Tip—hosting the affair in the guise of Edgar Allan Poe’s detective C. Auguste Dupin—winds up murdered. In a heartbeat, Emma and her aunt Nora, a famous mystery writer, become suspects. Emma is sure the party’s over for Starlit events, until celebrated author Calliope Nightfall, whose gothic sensibilities are intrigued by the circumstances, implores the bookseller to create a Poe-themed launch event for her latest tome. Throwing a bash to die for while searching for additional clues is already enough to drive Emma stark raven mad, but another shocking crime soon reveals that Silvercrest has not yet reached the final chapter of the puzzling case. Someone in this charming artistic community has murder on the mind, and if Emma cannot outwit the killer, she and her beloved aunt will land behind bars, to walk free nevermore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description Nick's inventive book of poetry very accurately potrays, both in its content and also in the style of presentation, what it is like to be manic. With his poetry Nick attempts to tackle many subjects from abuse at the hands of mental health professionals to love and relationships. Nick's linguistic inventiveness can be hard to follow at first, but soon it becomes apparent that the rich vocabulary and inventive use of language is all part of the way Nick communicates his feelings on the topics he is discussing. This is a rich, varied and interesting collection. About the Author I was born in South Kensington, London in 1960 to an Italian immigrant father and an English mother. I went to a convent boarding school in Bridport, Dorset and later moved to a junior school in Romford, Essex when the convent became an old peoples home. I have step brothers and one step sister. My mother has been married 3 times and now lives in Florida after a successful career as a Radiographer. I was a difficult child and first came into contact with the mental health system at the age of 10 when I saw a child psychologist after walking out of school. I failed most of my CSEs and went into the building trade - becoming a painter and decorator. I had my first drug induced breakdown in 1980 - I have been in the system ever since. In the last six years I have gained a GCSE and an A Level in photography a BTEC National Diploma in Music Technology and an HNC in Music Production. I am currently doing a degree in Creative Writing at Luton University. I remain single and have no children but would like to meet the right person and have children.

Then, Addie’s friend Serena, who owns a nearby tea shop, is arrested—for killing another local merchant.
