Long Held Lake Secrets is "an intricate puzzle of lost coins and lost relatives." What’s in a submerged house that solves the mystery? " Ms. Orr wraps wonderful detail of daily life around a compelling plot" #FamilyHistory

“Intriguing plot and characters. Another well done family history cozy mystery!” Unearthed gold coins bring varied claims for them and there's a murder to add to the family history mystery mix

My favorite book in the series. Mountain Rails of Old. A strange discovery, a possible stop on the Underground Railroad. “I love how she brings the town and characters to life” #cozymystery

Digger uses modern and tried-and-true methods to find family clues. Which one solves her uncle’s murder? “…layers to uncover and some cool twists.” #familyhistory #genealogy #mystery #WritingCommunity

Dunk tank fun at a carnival leads to an attack on Jolie’s best friend. Then there's a murder to add to the mix. Uh Oh. The B&B has an annoying guest and (gulp) Aunt Madge vanishes after the fireworks #cozymystery #readbooks

A stranger says he’s related to Digger’s oldest friend. What does he really want? Century old papers hold clues to unexpected family ties.

“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”

Since Baker and Taylor is going out of business soon, It might be good to read these articles on book distribution. Jane Friedman on book distribution, with a focus on self-published authors. It's not enough to make books available on Amazon and Ingram Spark

The Value of Book Distribution Is Often Misunderstood by Authors | Jane Friedman

Any self-publishing author can easily make a book available to Amazon, bookstores, libraries, etc. But availability doesn't mean visibility.
