Hello, Cozy Readers! I’m just delighted to share an interview about Down to Earth over at Curl Up with a Cozy Crime Novel! Many thanks to Sarah for the wonderful questions, which I enjoyed answering.
I’m working on the follow up to Venus Rising, so my head is definitely back on the cruise ship. So it was nice to get back to the home town of Amy and Stacey, the sleuths in my Daw County Sisters Mysteries!
As soon as I wrap up work on the next novel in the Daw County series, I’m back to Cousins, Counterfeits, and Everyday Carry, book three of The Not the End of the World Mysteries. Look for that later this year! (Cover reveal . . . coming soon!)
What are you reading this weekend? I’m always reading cozies, but, I’ll admit, I’m also reading gardening books now too, trying to figure out what to plant next. I’d love to hear from you!
Sending you cozy wishes for great reads,
Tammy D. Walker

A Study in Shih-Tzus (Men Who Stitch Mysteries #2): A Diverse Cozy Mystery by Kate Silvers
Poochnapped in Prospector’s Rest!
Yesterday, the worst Obadiah (Di) Goode had to worry about was his new job as the head of the Prospector’s Rest, North Carolina Sheriff Department’s crafting circle. While he’d thought that trying to teach macramé to old timers with ten thumbs and knitting to former rent-a-cops who keep trapping their own fingers in the twisted wool was bad enough, suddenly the town’s visitor-friendly Mystery Weekend takes an unwelcome turn.
Now, along with the longtime object of his affections, MacBeth (Mac) Welles, and some of the newer and brighter members of the department, he has to figure out who’s stealing expensive purebred dogs from the fun-loving, cosplaying tourists before Prospector’s Rest gets a reputation as the place to lose your furry friend.
Just as they’re closing in on finding the pooches, the dognappers strike again–this time taking the department’s own beloved Boston terrier mascot, Sgt. Peewee!
Now the hunt is personal. And, against a background of costumed guests, mystery games, and oompah bands playing cop show theme songs, Di and Mac have to find their furry friend and nab the kidnappers before it’s too late.
