About the book:
For Sandy Harbor’s tastiest comfort
food, venture to the Silver Bullet Diner. But head next door to the new
drive-in theater if you have an appetite for murder….
Trixie Matkowski has a tall
order to fill this fall. Aside from dishing out delicious fare at the Silver
Bullet during peak fishing season, she’s helping her friend—Antoinette Chloe
Brown, or ACB for short—open a drive-in movie theater in the vacant lot beside
her diner. It’s just the thing to take ACB’s mind off Nick, her missing biker
beau.
But their plans are fried
after Nick’s body is discovered during the groundbreaking for the drive-in. And
when the police connect the murder weapon to ACB, she becomes the prime suspect
in eighty-sixing Nick. With the fate of her innocent friend and her business on
the line, Trixie must make the guilty party pay up before someone else gets
stiffed…
Includes Delicious Home-Style Recipes!
About This Author
I have worked in the criminal
justice field for more years than I care to remember! It seems like I was
forever going to school while I was working full time, but in the end, I
received a dual master’s degree in Probation and Parole Studies and Sociology
from Fordham University.
Unfortunately, the knowledge
gained from way too many years in night school, didn’t prepare me for what I
love to do the most – writing cozy mysteries.
LOVE THOSE COZY MYSTERIES!!
The year 2013 began my series
of “comfort food” cozies which are set in a small-town 1950’s diner: the
Silver Bullet (open 24 hours, air conditioned). The Silver Bullet sits on
the shore of Lake Ontario and many colorful characters, including the owner of
the diner, Trixie Matkowski, live in Sandy Harbor or are just visiting.
The first book, DO OR DINER,
from Penguin/Obsidian books was released in August, 2013. Another
followed, A SECOND HELPING OF MURDER, in April, 2014, and a third, DINERS,
DRIVE-INS AND DEATH, is scheduled for January, 2015. I’d like to continue
with this series for as long as readers keep reading about sleuthing Trixie
Matkowski’s way.
JUST FOR FUN
I enjoy watching professional
bull riding and rodeo with my favorite cowboy, my husband Jim. We put on our
cowboy regalia (I look horrible in a cowboy hat!) and have traveled to events
in Las Vegas, Florida, Connecticut, and other states.
Of course I have to do
research for my comfort food diner series. That takes me to diners all
over the U.S. and Canada (and maybe Europe and Asia!) for meals. It’s a
tough job, but I just have to do it!
Best wishes to you, and I
hope you smile when you read my books!
