Karen Sue Walker - author writing as KC Walker talks about OLD FASHIONED MURDER and the Arrow Investigations Mysteries with Pamela Fagan Hutchins on Crime & Wine.

About OLD FASHIONED MURDER
"Funny clever murder mystery!" - Amazon Reviewer
"A fun and wacky read!" - Goodreads Reviewer

Whitley “Whit” Leland is an out-of-work stuntwoman with an attitude. Stuck in a sleepy mountain village with her wannabe PI grandmother, Bobbie, she’s content to spend her time eating flaky pastries, mixing cocktails, and chasing after her wayward rescue dog.

She also needs to keep her grandmother out of trouble, which is harder than she expects. Between rehearsals with the Ukulele Ladies, Bobbie investigates a series of seemingly unrelated accidents targeting local musicians. Whit enjoys teasing Bobbie about her true crime obsession--after all, who would go to such lengths just to win a small-town music competition?

Whit gets her answer when she finds one of the Ukulele Ladies dead. Is Bobbie next on the hit list? Whit will have to use her smarts and her skills to track down the murderer before they know she’s onto them.
Can Whit, her grandmother, and their rogue chihuahua find the murderer before someone else turns up dead?

About K.C. Walker
KC Walker does her best to avoid meaningful employment. This often conflicts with her desire for the finer things in life, such as food and shelter. Writing novels seemed to be an acceptable compromise, since making up stories can hardly be called work.

One day, KC took a look at her rescue dog and thought, "Why isn't this freeloader contributing to the household coffers?" Soon, the idea of a snarky yet (hopefully) lovable stuntwoman named Whit and her tiny demon dog came to mind and the first story began to form.

S.W. Hubbard Author chats about UNHOLY TREASURE and her very beloved and successful Palmyrton Estate Sale Mystery Series with Pamela Fagan Hutchins on Crime & Wine. Warning: this conversation likely to go off tracks about dogs and hiking. Sorry, not sorry.
UNHOLY TREASURE
A holy relic of the past unleashes a deadly passion in the present.
When estate sale organizer Audrey Nealon runs a small sale in conjunction with a larger one, she's stunned to learn a small knick-knack Ty sold at the sale for five bucks has been resold anonymously at Christie’s auction house for half a million dollars. The little house-shaped object turns out to be a medieval reliquary, purported to hold a fragment of the bone of the Saint Benedict.
With her client furious at the costly error, Audrey must discover how this precious reliquary turned up in a suburban New Jersey estate sale. Is Ty’s hunt for the vandal a distraction, or is it linked to the mystery of the reliquary?
Others are equally intent on finding the person who profited from the sale of the reliquary. As the forces of sin, faith, and devotion battle, Saint Benedict might not be the only one who is martyred.
MEET SUSAN
My addiction to mysteries followed a familiar trajectory. Innocent dabbling with the Bobbsey Twins and Nancy Drew led to a craving for stronger stuff—Christie, Conan Doyle, Poe—so that by the age of twelve I had a habit that couldn’t be broken. Here’s what makes a great mystery for me: plot twists that I didn’t see coming, characters like real people I know, motivations that make sense, and a touch of humor. Those are the kinds of mysteries I like to read, so that’s the kind of mystery I write!
My first mystery novel was published way back in 2003, and I’ve been writing mystery novels ever since. In 2019, I expanded into women’s fiction, a genre that I also enjoy reading.
I live in Morristown, NJ with my husband, Kevin, and my dog, Libby. All three of us are avid hikers.

About THE CUSTODY BATTLE:

“What’s going to happen to me?” my little girl asks, clutching her teddy bear tight. “Daddy and I love you,” I reply. “Nothing is going to change.” But I was so wrong. How far will I have to go to keep my darling daughter?

When Greg and I first decided to separate, we promised to keep it civil for our daughter Lola. So when she stopped wanting to hug me, I thought Lola was just struggling with the divorce. Then she started screaming at me, calling me a liar, and I could hear Greg in her words. I’m certain he’s trying to turn our baby against me.

He’s determined to dig up dirt on me, to make the court think I’m a terrible mother… But two can play that game.

So when he reveals the worst thing I have ever done, my heart pounds in my chest. Because I know Greg’s deep dark secrets, too. But the more we each try to win, the harder it is to turn back. Now I’m terrified that we’ve put Lola in terrible danger…

By the time we realise what we’ve done, will it be too late for us to save her, or ourselves?

Praise for Coming to Rosemont:
"In a category that doesn't often feature felonious crimes as a main plot point, it's somewhat surprising to see this title -- with corruption, fraud, and arson coursing through the story -- in a list of top performers. But with enough twists and turns to hook any reader's attention, an adorable dog on the cover, and some classic women's fiction tropes, Coming To Rosemont delivered more than enough firepower to win over our readers!" BookBub's Best: Women's Fiction (#4)
"In this series opener, Hinske immerses readers in a delightful small town....The joys of the tale come from the warm relationships and the story of a woman getting a second chance at life and love." Publishers Weekly (BookLife)

About the Detective Eve Bennett series (book 1):  

From Book 1: 

“I literally couldn’t stop reading… Had shivers down my spine… Sensational… Must-read… I keep thinking about this book.” @mommy_and_books, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  

As day breaks over the Tanner family home, the house is deadly silent and the door is firmly closed. Upstairs, the whole family lie cold and lifeless in their beds. All with the same look of fear in their unblinking eyes…  

Detective Eve Bennet takes a steadying breath as she enters the main bedroom of the Tanners’ modest home in the tight-knit town of Hilldale. Mrs Tanner’s high-collared nightgown and her long plaited blonde hair are soaked in blood. Next to her, Mr Tanner’s hands are clasped together in a final prayer. 

 Filled with dread, Eve forces herself towards the children’s rooms. But instead of two children, she only finds one. Where is the youngest daughter, Hannah? And why are there long scratches across the walls?  Eve tracks Hannah down to her uncle’s house nearby. But he won’t let her step foot in the house. 

Eve knows what it’s like to be held captive by a family member, and fears for Hannah’s safety. What is he terrified Hannah might reveal?  Back at the Tanner home, Eve makes a shocking discovery in the dust covered attic. Mr Tanner was hiding a dark secret from the rest of the community—the kind of secret someone would kill for.  

Realizing another family could be in danger, Eve runs from the house and stumbles into the path of the one man she spent years trying to forget— and he won’t let her get away this time. 

Can Eve escape the evil that has haunted her whole life? And will she catch the killer before another innocent family is murdered?  

Fans of Melinda Leigh, Kendra Elliot and Lisa Regan will be absolutely gripped by this explosive and totally unputdownable crime thriller from a USA Today bestselling author.
