Until one of the hotel guests is found dead at the bottom of the stairs, and Darla is the one who's

blamed.

With the threat of guests cancelling and her business on the line, Nancy turns to Charlie to help

find the real culprit so Darla can rest in peace.

Meet Charlie. Better known as "Aunt Charlie" from the award-winning Secrets of

Redemption series. She's back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy

mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.

Get a Behind-the-Scenes Look at A Room For Murder

A few years ago, one of my author friends reached out to ask me if I’d like to be in an

anthology that was geared around female sleuths.

At the time, I was writing a standalone psychological thriller (The Third Nanny), and I

wasn’t sure where I was going to with my Secrets of Redemption psychological thriller

series (I had just completed Book 5 of what would end up being a 9-book series, but at

the time, I didn’t know I still had four more books to write).

But regardless, neither of those books or projects fit the “female sleuth” theme.

Of course, that didn’t stop me from saying yes. I had six months to figure it out. Surely I

could come up with a female sleuth story that somehow tied into my published books by

then.

And sure enough, about a week later, Charlie Kingsley whispered into my ear, and just

like that, two stories fell into my lap. A Grave Error, which was the first Charlie Kingsley

story and the one that ended up in the anthology, and The Murder Before Christmas,

which ended up being Book 1 of the Charlie Kingsley Mysteries.

When I wrote A Grave Error, I knew that wasn’t Charlie’s first case. The first person who

called Charlie for help was Nancy, who owned The Redemption Inn, as the resident

ghost had been blamed for a murder.

I knew I wanted to write it at some point, I just wasn’t sure when. The series arc that had

been slowly building out would be disrupted, and I was unclear on how it would all fit

together. Could I go back in time even as the series moved forward? How would the

readers react?

But, as these things go, it all fell easily into place when the time was right. Darla made

an appearance in A Cornucopia of Murder, and I knew then that Charlie’s first case had

to be the next book. And I also knew it would be the perfect fit for my Charlie Kingsley

Cozy Novella series, a side series of standalone novellas that cover shorter cases.

And thus, A Room For Murder, is now finally available. Readers will get a peek at how it

all began, from first meeting Wyle to Pat becoming her sidekick.

Aiden O’Rourke needed cash to help pay for college so he made money by selling his sperm. He

was young, attractive, smart…and popular. Now many years later, his offspring are coming

forward—eleven of them and counting—and connecting on a website they created called

Donor73101.com.

Pat Pirard, Santa Cruz County Law Librarian turned PI, is approached by next door neighbors

Tina and Robin who want to start a family. Because Tina was conceived via sperm donation, they

want to be 100% certain that their baby and Tina won’t have the same father.

It doesn’t take Pat long to determine that Aiden O’Rourke was Tina’s sperm donor. It also

doesn’t take her long to discovers that one by one, his offspring are being murdered. By whom

and why? Well, that’s a mystery.

Excerpt 

Although it was only a few minutes past 6:30pm, it was dark, not unexpected in Santa Cruz in

early January. The Uber driver popped his hatchback and offered to help them with luggage. Tim

declined, moving the four suitcases―one for him and three for Pat―on to the sidewalk.

   Pat started to pick one up. “Leave it,” Tim instructed. “We can come back outside for those in a

minute, but before we bring in suitcases, I want to carry my bride across the threshold.”

    Pat giggled. “I’m a modern woman. No carrying needed.”

“That may be, but I’m feeling old-fashioned at the moment.” He smiled at her, put one arm

around her back just above her waist, and attempted to scoop her into his arms.

She slipped away from him, laughing as she did. “I bet you can’t catch me before I get inside on

my own, my old-fashioned caveman,” she flirted, heading for the front door.

 “I can be a caveman if that’s how you want to be carried, but you’re being carried,” he said, his

tone full of playful mischief. He gave chase and tossed her over his shoulder when he caught her.

Pat squealed, but was laughing too hard to resist, which is how she came to greet her tail-

wagging Dalmatian, Dot, who jumped against Tim’s backside in an attempt to get her head up

high enough for the backward slung Pat to scratch her ears; her cat, Wimsey, who abandoned his

rule about avoiding Tim and rubbed against his legs, and Tina and Robin, their pet-sitting next-

door neighbors, butt-first, draped over Tim’s shoulder.

Bells, Book, and Corpses by T.C. LoTempio #Halloween #countdowntoHalloween2024 #cozymysteries

7th in the Series

Setting - California

Beyond the Page (September 24, 2024)

Number of Pages 207

It’s Halloween trick-or-treachery when murder pays a visit to a cursed mansion in the new

Nick and Nora mystery . . .

Waincroft Manor has long been tied to rumors of witchcraft and fatal curses, and to Nora

Charles, that makes it the perfect place for a Halloween fundraiser. But her first trip to the

deserted old mansion turns out to be truly ghoulish when she discovers a dead body. What’s

more, the corpse is laid out in a coffin—with two bite marks on its neck. Then the autopsy comes

back showing that the body was drained of blood, and there’s no stopping the local gossips from

whispering the word vampire to anyone who will listen.

Determined to dispel the rumors and save the fundraiser, Nora sets out to prove the murderer was

quite human after all. Sifting through the clues, she learns of a bitter family rivalry that spans

generations, and a more recent conflict that may point to the motive for the murder. And when

Nick spells out a clue that proves to be the missing piece of the puzzle, Nora knows she’ll have

to watch her back—because there’s a killer out there who wants to keep some secrets buried, and

they’ll happily bury Nora right along with them . . .

Includes mouthwatering recipes!

Your Uncle Manfred Moon has died and left you as his heir to the Moon fortune. You are now one of the richest women in the country!” he says. Mona’s response is to point her revolver in his face.
