cassie mayfair draft3 copy I have the release date for Mugs, Murder, and Mayfair. It will be out on May 1, 2018 in ebook, and the print version to come soon after. As I usually do, I’m having a pre-order/release week sale. The ebook will be $2.99 instead of $4.99 until May 5th. Pre-order links are below. I’ll add more as I get them.

Cassie Pengear was expecting a quiet week helping her friends Kate and Ada inventory their Mayfair tinkering/haberdashery shop, with nothing more exciting to worry about than a shaving mug thrown through the window, hiding the evidence of a student prank, they assume. But then a body is found a few streets away, and the inspector in charge of the murder case begins to suspect Kate. Now Cassie must help her friend by finding the connections between mugs, murder, and Mayfair.

And a little bit of video I’ve been playing around with.

I have the cover for the next Cassie Pengear Mystery, so I thought I would show it to you a little early. The book will be available for pre-order early next year. I’ll let you know when I have an exact date.

The Death Downstairs

September 19, 2017September 21, 2017 ~ lisaannenisula ~ Leave a comment

Cassie Pengear Mysteries book 7 Here is your first look at the cover for the seventh Cassie Pengear mystery, The Death Downstairs. It will be released on September 26, 2017, and as always, it will be on a pre-order release week sale, with a little difference. I’m planning to put the bundle of the first three books on sale soon, and I figure most people reading this blog have already read those, so I wanted you to get a bit of a bargain too, so instead of the usual $2.99, the pre-order price will be $.99 until October 1. I’ll post links to the pre-order pages here and on the book’s page as they become available.

Here’s the backcover text of the book.

When Cassie Pengear’s landlady asks her to check the references of the new tenant downstairs, she expects it to be a simple matter of confirming what was provided. She did not expect it to lead to a dead body in the flat below, a series of thefts in the building, and mysterious events at a bank she’s done typing for. If Cassie wants to feel safe in her flat again, she’ll have to solve the death downstairs.

Cover Reveal- A Drowning in Bath

Here it is, the newest Cassie Pengear book A Drowning in Bath.

Cassie Pengear had just solved a difficult case in London and was looking forward to a quiet holiday in Bath where she could relax, visit the Regency sights, and read Jane Austin novels. Her cousin Milly had very different ideas of a how to spend their holiday and convinced Cassie to try the mixed bathing at the hotel baths. While there, they witness one of the guests being murdered. With the police insisting it was nothing more than a tragic accident, if she wants to see the killer caught, Cassie has no choice but to try to solve A Drowning in Bath.

It will be going up for pre-orders this week and be released on December 13, 2016. I’ll do a separate post when I start getting pre-order links. Like usual, it will be on a pre-order/release week sale for $2.99 then go to it’s usual price of $4.99.

A few other notes. I’m updating the formatting on some of the older books so they’re more consistent, so if you see something’s been updated, it’s cosmetic, nothing’s changed in the story. The only one that will have a major difference is Killing at the Carnival. I’ve added the first couple chapters of Death at Dinner as a sample to the end. I’m not that fond of samples at the end myself since I’m not used to guessing when a book will end on my e-readers, but I’ve had several people tell me they like it, so I’m trying it.

And there’ll be something else later in the week, but I’ll save it for then.

Cover Reveal Cassie Pengear Mysteries book 5

July 13, 2016July 13, 2016 ~ lisaannenisula ~ Leave a comment

Here it is, the cover for the fifth Cassie Pengear mystery– The Body in the Box Room. It’s set for release on July 26, 2016, and as usual, if you pre-order or buy it release week, you’ll get it on sale ($2.99 instead of $4.99). The pre-orders are slowly going live (I already have links to Amazon, iTunes and Smashwords) I’ll add the others to this post as I get them.

And if you’re wondering what case Cassie stumbles on this time, here’s the summary:

When Cassie Pengear agreed to spend the evening with her cousin Milly, and Milly’s latest gentleman caller and his mother, it was with the promise that Milly and her gentleman would not trouble her again unless there was an impending marriage. She did not expect Milly to stumble over a body in her prospective mother-in-law’s box room, and she certainly did not expect Inspector Wainwright to draw the case. Now Milly is convinced they’re all suspects and Cassie is the only one who can figure out who murdered the body in the box room.

In other news, I’ve started putting my books on Google Play. Because of some difficulties in the way they work with Amazon, I’m putting the books up in sets of two after book 1. So Killing at the Carnival is there, and a set of Books 2 and 3, and soon another set of books 4 and 5.

New Release A Spartan Murder Dec. 22

December 11, 2015December 15, 2015 ~ lisaannenisula ~ Leave a comment

spartan-murder500wide — A Spartan Murder

The forth Cassie Pengear mystery is going to be released December 22. It’s called A Spartan Murder. Here’s the back cover text.

When Cassie Pengear is summoned to Oxford as a suspect in a murder, she assumes it’s by one of the Scotland Yard Inspectors who don’t appreciate her occasional help. She’s surprised to learn it’s from her friend Inspector Burrows and even more startling, he actually begins to give her information on the case of a murdered Oxford don. Startling until she realizes his two best suspects are committing a crime Inspector Burrows would rather overlook simply by being together. Now she’s keeping suspects’ secrets while investigating blackmail and murder. approx. 53,000 words or 200 pages

It will be on a pre-order/release week sale until the end of the month for $2.99, then it will go to its regular price of $4.99. Some stores have the pre-order up already. I’ll add the others as I see them. Here’s what I have so far.

edited to add links

In other news, I’m going to be releasing a bundle of the first three Cassie Pengear books soon, hopefully this weekend. I was going to wait until book 5 came out, but I decided to do it now. I’ll post again when it’s ready to go.

Killing at the Carnival is free most places now, including Amazon.com but not the other Amazon sites yet.
