Looking in the Window: Cooking up a Mystery Selected for an Amazon Daily Deal, and the Price is Good for All of June. Recipe and Other Authors.




This month’s chocked full of $1.99 deals on Amazon, including novels by many Pelican Book Group authors. 

I’m honored to have Cooking up a Mystery among them. (See below for a list of other authors to look for.)




About Cooking up a Mystery

Cooking up a Mystery combines a mystery with a touch of romance, humor, faith and forgiveness. 

In the story, Laney Eskridge is on edge from emotional scars from her parents’ deaths and her husband’s infidelity and abandonment. Then she hears unexplained noises in her new tea house, and her anxiety is tripled. Add a budding romance with Eric—a guy with a fear of commitment—and it's all too much to handle. She cuts ties with Eric and works to make her business pay off, but he discovers she’s in danger and wants to help. Little could they know they would overhear a threat that could cause a national turmoil.

Even though I come from a long line of Southern gourmet cooks, I didn’t think of writing a culinary book until I met a newspaper faith editor who suggested we complete a project together. She had written a cookbook for a charity, Mission Love Seeds, which supports children, and we saw Cooking up a Mystery as a perfect fit for my culinary upbringing and her recipes.

In addition to the mystery in the heroine’s tea house kitchen, there are two dozen plus recipes, all supplied by members of Mission Love Seeds, in the back of the book, so it’s double the fun. The recipe headings have the name of a character in the book with a byline of the person who submitted it at the end.

To enter to win leave your email address with a comment.I'll put the names on pieces of paper and have my husband draw one on Monday night, July 5th. Hi Loree, first tell us a little about yourself. Before I do that, I’d like to take just a moment and thank Gail for inviting me to her blog. It’s an honor and a joy to be here! A little about me, hmm? Well, I have brown eyes and blondish hair, I’m 5’1” tall, and weigh…. Thank the Lord those tidbits aren’t what you’re looking for! My dad worked for the Veterans Administration, so the family lived in a slew of cities. I held a myriad of careers to pay my way through school, and all that working and moving is probably responsible for my ability to talk to just about anybody, anywhere. For the past 20 years, though, I’ve lived in the same house and worked at the same job: Writing. And I love both. Being a people person is definitely a plus. Were you an avid reader as a ...

That’s an interesting question because usually I rely on my imagination for inspiration. This plot, however, has one particular element that actually happened to me. In the book, developers come into town and their plans for a strip mall require the destruction of the Townsend Barn, a beloved local landmark. In re...
