I’m proud to announce the release of Rock a Bye Bye Baby, the sixth Cobble Cove cozy mystery featuring Alicia, the librarian; Sneaky, the library cat, and KittyKai, the inn cat. The book is available on Amazon as an eBook and on Kindle Unlimited. It will also be in print form soon. For those not familiar with the series, I’ve provided backstory to help you catch up. However, the previous five books are still available starting with A Stone’s Throw.
Although the last book in the series, No Gravestone Unturned was published in 2020, Sneaky’s Supernatural Mystery and Other Cobble Cove Stories was published in 2022 and won an award for its Christmas story. To catch up on the series, I also wrote a more recent single short story, Sneaky’s Birthday Mystery, that I gave away to my newsletter subscribers.

Although Rock a Bye Baby features an abandoned infant left on Alicia and John’s doorstep, the main mystery involves the murder of two of Mac’s poker pals who also served with him in Vietnam. There are a host of suspects including a mother, ex-wife, and granddaughter of a victim, a housecleaner, and a young woman who was typing a manuscript for the first victim that someone may have considered more realistic than fiction. The book will be on tour with Great Escapes Virtual Blog Tour from October 27 to November 5. More information about the tour and its giveaway will be included in my October newsletter and on this blog.
