Truffle Me Not

by M. K. Scott


 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GENRE: Cozy Mystery

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

The future of Cupid’s Catering Company hangs in the balance. With a rival bakery, owned by the queen of all mean, rich girls, Della is at a distinct disadvantage.

 

Della hinges her financial future on winning the local truffle contest. As if there wasn’t enough on her mind, additional problems arise, including missing cats, jewel thieves, and her desperate attempt to find the incredibly kind man who’d lent her hand when she had tire trouble.

 

Can she solve all these problems and find time to whip up a cookbook at the same time?

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

EXCERPT:

 


 

Even before she picked up the phone, she felt apprehensive. Why call when she’d see her mother at the bakery in less than thirty minutes. “Hello, Mother. I’m almost in the car.”

 

“Good! I need your help.” Mabel rushed the words together, forcing Della to decipher the bunched words before answering.

 

For most of her life, her mother had helped Della. Sometimes, almost too much, which came from being a surprise baby to a couple who had given up hope on having children. As the only child, Della felt obliged to be the best she could be after one of her school mates pointed out her parents had invested all their hopes and dreams in her. A staggering responsibility for a primary school-aged child to handle, but she had dealt with it.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“I need a jeweled cat collar. Red. Lots of rhinestones.”

 

“Mom…” she stretched out the word, making it into more of a question.

 

“Buy whatever styles they have. We can return the ones that don’t work.”

 

Even though her brain might not function at its full capacity without coffee first, almost anyone could deduce an incident occurred involving Prince Purrfection of the jeweled collar. There was a good chance Tony could be the culprit.

 

“Ah, did Tony hurt Prince? Did Prince hurt Tony? What’s up with the collar?”

 

Her mother inhaled audibly. “Time is of the essence. Vanessa is going to start looking for her cat once the storm passes. I need a new collar on the feline diva before I push him out the door. Tony thinks I’ve gone traitor by even letting her into the house.”

Late for Love

(The Way Over The Hill Gang Book 5)

by M.K. Scott


 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GENRE: Cozy Mystery

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

The senior sleuths love a good laugh, but this conundrum is no laughing matter. A missing journalist, an African Grey parrot, and a possible mob connection sound like the beginning of a bad joke. Unfortunately, there is no punchline and no one, aside from the seniors, who would dare to take the case on.

 

Will their first chance to handle a case on their own prove to be way too much for them to handle, and more importantly, could this first be their last? 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

EXCERPT:

 


 


 

“Cheez and crackers.” He growled the words, knowing good and well this phone could do close-up shots. He had done it before.

 

“What’s wrong?” a feminine voice asked.

 

Jake turned slightly and met the inquisitive stare of a twenty-something nursing aide. It would be embarrassing to admit he was trying to take a photo of the group in the courtyard.  None of the sleuths would know how to do it either.

 

Choices. He swallowed hard and held up his phone. “I forgot how to make the phone take a close-up shot. My great-nephew showed me at one time...” He shrugged his shoulders, leaving the obvious unsaid.

 

“Okay.” The aide glanced past the phone into the courtyard. “Ah, I see.” She giggled before holding out her hand for the phone.

 

Once situated in her left hand, she put her thumb and forefinger of her right hand together against the screen, then slowly separated them, making the image larger. “You can do this as many times as you need, making the people larger. I’ll warn you the bigger it is the blurrier it gets. I think it’s sweet you’re trying to get a photo of your crush. Which one is she?”

 

“There’s no crush,” Jake informed her brusquely. Even though he wasn’t familiar with the helpful aide, it didn’t stop her from talking. The last thing he needed was the staff gossiping about him.

 

“Uh-huh,” The woman grinned at him. “That’s how my grandpa and grandma met.”

 

“What?” Jake was certain he’d missed part of the conversation.

 

“Grandma was coming out of the church…” she started conversationally.

 

Jake cut his eyes to the courtyard window, worried he might lose his chance for a photo, but he couldn’t duck out of a story that was being related for his benefit. His lips turned up slightly in a forced smile, and he nodded for her to continue. “Church, huh?”

 

“Yes…” The aide nodded, but it did nothing to slow her narrative. She held her hands up as if holding a small object. “Grandpa was on the other side of the street taking a photo of her leaving church. One of her friends pointed out his action to grandma.”

 

“Why would he be across the street taking a photo of his own wife?” This story made no sense. He only hoped it got better. Surely there could be no comparison of himself and a man crossing streets to photograph his wife. At least, he hoped not.

 

The aide, whose name tag identified her as Sheila, chuckled. “They hadn’t met yet. Grandma was a widow and grandpa a long-time bachelor who attended the same church. Anyhow, when grandma saw him taking her photo, she marched right across the street and…”

 

“I know…” Jake interrupted. “She snatched the camera out of his hands.” A similar incident had happened to him in France.

 

“No.” Sheila shot Jake a confused look. “She invited him to lunch. They got to know each other and married not too long after.”

 

Well, that hadn’t turned out the way he thought it would. Too bad he didn’t have that kind of luck. At the moment, he’d be fortunate if the helpful Sheila hit the road. “Great story,” he enthused. “I appreciate the help, too. Don’t let me cut into your break, though.”
