Genre Cozy Mystery

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG 13

Connie Acosta is officially a resident in the fifty-five and older community her best friend Sara Mazza lives in. Her baker’s kitchen is almost complete and she has met Vic, another resident who is crazy about her. Meanwhile, Sara finds herself in the mist of a love triangle with Vic’s friend Jack and Warren, a police officer at the local station.
When Sara received a call from her friend at the clubhouse saying there is a dead body floating in the outdoor pool, the women rush there to check things out, getting themselves involved in another investigation, especially when Sara finds a few blue pills scattered in the grass that she didn’t turn into the police.
Who said seniors can’t get into trouble and fall in love again.

QUICK

Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
Yes. I write Women’s Fiction, Cozy Mysteries and Contemporary Romance
How do you come up with ideas?…
Ideas just pop-up in my mind. Sometimes I’ll have a dream with a fragment of an idea. Most times life itself is the foundation of my plots.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
For me it’s outlining. I need a path to keep me on track.
When did you write your first book?…
I wrote my first book “Roses” in 1989. As an infant my son had his nights and days mixed up. That’s when I wrote the story long hand during the night.
