A Sweet (but Deadly) Valentine
By Heather Weidner
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I’m
enjoying some downtime before 2025 gears up. It’s going to be a busy book year
for me. I have three books launching next year, A Tisket a Tasket Not
Another Casket (The Mermaid Bay Christmas Shoppe Mysteries in January), Murder
Strikes a Chord (The Pearly Girls Mysteries in March), and Teddy Bears
and Ghostly Lairs (The Jules Keene Mysteries in October).
Since Christmas is behind us, I’m going to be like the
big box stores and hurry us right into the next holiday season with my
Valentine-themed mystery.
Deadlines and Valentines
is the fourth book in the Jules Keene Glamping Mysteries. Jules and her team
refurbish and upscale vintage campers for the glamorous camping experience in
Fern Valley, Virginia. This season, her resort, nestled in the heart of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, is ground zero for all things romance. The town has
pulled out all the stops for the first Valentine’s Day “Love is in the Air”
Book Festival with events like Death by Chocolate, author speed-dating, a character
masquerade, and a male cover model fashion show.
Everything is candy and roses until the sparks start
to fly with a few of the temperamental and diva-like authors. Jules Keene and
her team spend their time trying to tamp down the fiery tempers because
opposites may not always attract, and sabotage and slander seem to be the name
of the game with this bunch.
When a popular author with a heart of gold is found
murdered in the barn at the resort, Jules uncovers some secrets someone wants
to keep buried, and she quickly realizes that there is a fine line between love
and hate.

Wow! Three series - and each one sounds better than the last, but I especially like the idea, with Christmas behind us, of looking forward to your Valentine's mystery.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteI can hardly keep up with one series and you have three! I did see some store was already promoting its Valentine's Day candy, so you are right with the market!
ReplyDeleteThey really do rush the holidays, don't they.
DeleteThis looks like another amazing book, Heather! Can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteCongrats on the upcoming books!
ReplyDeleteI get dizzy thinking about what your writing schedules must be. And how you manage to keep so many characters and stories straight.
ReplyDeleteDoes Virginia still use the slogan, "Virginia is for lovers" (or am I dating myself?) This book surely plays into that theme. Best of luck (although we all know it's really hard work, not luck) with all your projects.
Wow, what a writing schedule! Deadlines and Valentines sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteYou set a deadly pace, Heather. I can't imagine having three series.
