My website is currently down. Not sure what's going on, but I'm hoping to get it resolved soon. I say that having no idea how long it will take or if I submitted the help form correctly (I'm using the term "form" loosely, as the only field on it was a checkbox to make sure I'm not a robot). Ain't technology grand? I rarely use the word "ain't," but I've been practicing my Southern speak as research for Cozy Cat Caper Mystery book 23, Crash in Cherry Hills, which releases today! (And no, the timing of my website fail hasn't escaped my notice.) At any rate, I've set up a temporary page for my Paige Sleuth books. Apologies for any inconvenience, and please email me at marlabradeen@gmail.com if you need further assistance in locating my books.
Now on to the fun stuff! I'm giving one person who comments on this blog post their choice of the following two cozy mysteries:
Cracked to Death by Cheryl Hollon
When a treasure hunt leads to deadly plunder, it's up to glass shop owner Savannah Webb and her trusty investigative posse to map out the true motives of a killer...
It's the dog days of summer in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Webb's Glass Shop proprietor Savannah Webb has an eco-friendly plan to help locals escape the heat--a recyclable bottle-crafting workshop taught by reticent store manager Amanda Blake. Turns out, the class is a bigger smash than expected, thanks in part to a pair of staggeringly old bottles brought in by snorkeler Martin Lane...
Linked to a storied pirate shipwreck, the relics definitely pique Savannah's interest. But intrigue turns to shock when Martin's lifeless body washes ashore the next morning, another glass artifact tucked in his dive bag. With cell phone records connecting Amanda to the drowning, Savannah must voyage through unchartered territory to exonerate her colleague and capture the twisted criminal behind Martin's death...

Off the Books by Lucy Arlington (aka Susan Furlong)
The Novel Idea Literary Agency has planned a wedding-themed week for Inspiration Valley, celebrating not only North Carolina’s best vendors but also some of the agency's most popular bridal books. The fact that Lila can use the event to plan her own impending nuptials is just the icing on the cake.
But wedding bells turn to warning bells when Lila finds a dead man facedown in the frosting. Soon it's discovered that the victim was connected to several Novel Idea authors, all of whom quickly become suspects in the case. It's up to Lila and her fellow agents to find the real killer before one of their clients winds up scribbling stories from behind bars...
