Hey NAME!

Long overdue.

A detective who feels secrets?
That could get… awkward.

But wait, you ask…
Aren’t those your funny cozies about Mark, the empath detective who can feel people’s secret emotions? And his goofy sidekick, Pete, who talks a mile a minute?
Haven’t I seen those books before?
You have!
But before, you would have had to buy each book separately. Together, these three cozy novels would come to $15.
But to celebrate the new covers…
…(plus another important improvement, which I’ll get to in a minute…)
I’m launching this new omnibus edition of these first three novels.
And until Friday, August 16, you can get this whole omnibus for less than half of what the novels would cost normally.
WOW! LESS THAN HALF PRICE?
Yes! But only until Friday.
So if you’ve been waiting to try these mysteries out, or to finish the series, now is your chance.
I’M NOT SURE… MAYBE I READ THE FIRST ONE? WHAT DID THE COVERS LOOK LIKE BEFORE?
Before, the covers were way too serious.
So serious I needed a disclaimer…
Do those look like funny cozies about wise-cracking buddies you’ll come to love? Not quite.
But the new covers…
… ahhhh.
BUT WHAT ELSE DID YOU IMPROVE?
So, readers love these books. Book 1, Murder Feels Awful, has nearly 100 five-star reviews.
But there were two main problems that some readers kept sharing with me:
- One, the covers. (Fixed!)
- And two, some readers objected to the R-rated language.
For many readers, perhaps including you, one of the special features of the cozy mystery genre is that it’s often a refuge from profanity.
I’ve come to respect that expectation.
So I have gone through this entire series and carefully brought the language down to a PG rating.
I did this both for the new omnibus and also for all the separate books as well. This includes the free novella, High-Rise Demise (formerly called Origin Story).
So if the language was holding you back, please take another look. :)
You might find yourself loving these guys… and all the quirky characters in little Back Mosby, Virginia.
REALLY? MAYBE I’LL TELL MY FRIENDS!
Thank you!
I was thinking about that too. Sometimes we might have no personal objection to an issue, but we hesitate to make recommendations to friends with different sensibilities.
But if you’re going to tell your friends, please do it now, during the sale! Which ends Friday…
Sergeant Gwen is less Southern sweet, more Viking goddess.
She wants Mark and Pete in jail…
… and the killers want far worse.

ARE THERE MORE BOOKS IN THE SERIES?
Yes! Book 4 will be Murder Feels Deadly…
… but first, I have this other little series I’m launching for you.
Last time I teased you with this peek at the cover:
But this email went way longer than I planned, so for now I’ll just say:
- Her name is Summer. She is smart, confident, and a sucker for helping people in trouble.
- Her cat’s name is Mr. Charm.
- Summer has a very unique psychic power.
- Seriously, I promise you’ve never seen this one.
- But she’s about to discover that others have secret powers too… in the cozy little town of Wonder Springs, Virginia.
- Does she solve murder mysteries? Why, yes.
- Especially when she’s the prime suspect.
WOW! YOU’RE LAUNCHING A WHOLE NEW PSYCHIC DETECTIVE COZY SERIES? WHEN???
In two weeks.
TWO WEEKS?!?! TELL ME MORE!
Oh, I will.
See you next week. :)
P.S. Remember, you can read all the Mark and Pete funny cozies that I’ve written so far in one giant omnibus. This beast is over 900 pages. And it’s on sale, but only for a few days. Enjoy!

Her unique power is secret…
… but she just got framed for murder.
Can Summer use her psychic gift to catch the real killer in time?
Wonder Springs seems like such a sweet little Southern town. A mysterious "Grandma" invites her to stay at the lovely Inn.
Then a fellow guest drops dead.
And Summer's the only suspect.
Until now, Summer's always been a loner. (Except for her beloved cat.) Can she get over her haunted past and work together to catch the killer…
…with new friends who may have secret powers of their own?
You'll love this fun, fast-paced cozy, because it has fresh paranormal powers, a huge warm family, and a twist ending you'll never suspect.
Get it now.
Her unique power is secret…
…but her best friend is accused of murder.
Can Summer use her psychic gift to save her friend in time?
For a sweet little Southern town, Wonder Springs has seen more than its fair share of murders. But when the local vineyard suffers a bewildering theft, the outcomes turn outright bizarre.
And when events twist to a dead body, the whole town suspects the unthinkable. Could the killer really be Summer's bestie (and cousin)… Tina?
Tina's an empath, and she's the warmest, most loving person that Summer's ever known. But she and the victim may have shared a deadly secret.
Meanwhile, hidden enemies are closing in on Wonder Springs. Summer's whole family has secret psychic powers, but one branch of the family is exceedingly vicious…
This murder is only the beginning.
You'll love this twisty, smart cozy, because the characters are fun, the powers are fresh, and you'll never guess the ending surprise.
Get it now.
