Peggy - Thank you so much for the lovely comment, and I'm happy to report that in its first week on sale DEAD TO THE LAST DROP has hit multiple bestseller lists and readers have told me it's sold out at many of their local stores! Nice news. And no worries, the stores will re-stock! I hope you enjoy Clare's trip to Washington, Peggy, it's an exciting entry in our series, and there are characters you'll meet who are still close to our hearts. We hope you are charmed by them, as well.
Thank you for the holiday joy. Merry Christmas to you and your family and may your New Year be bright!

Greetings, everyone! It's Cleo here again, dropping back to say that I'm continuing to enjoy learning what fairy tales are you favorites--and even *why* they are. As a writer, I find this especially fascinating, and I appreciate your taking the time to tell me. I wish you all the best of luck in the drawing--and for the New Year. May your holidays be bright!
Hey, everyone, Cleo here, dropping in to say thank you for telling me about your favorite fairy tales. I'm really enjoying your comments, and I appreciate your taking the time to make them. Good luck to everyone in the blog contest, which will stay open until Wednesday, December 10th. One of you will win an autographed copy of my new mystery, ONCE UPON A GRIND, and the "Inspire Joy" necklace pictured from the Women's Bean Project, a very worthy organization that helps impoverished women learn job skills to find and keep employment. If you click their link above, you can check out their site where they sell delicious food items as well as unique, handcrafted jewelry--a great place for holiday shopping, too.
Warmest wishes to everyone for the holiday season, and I'll be back again to see what more of you have to say about your favorite fairy tales!

Thanks to everyone for your very kind comments. I had so much fun reading about your favorite foods, flavors, and memories. Your messages truly have put me in the spirit of the season -- and inspired me to try some new recipes. Cheers to you all. May your holidays always be delicious! ~ Cleo
I have been enjoying your comments all day long. What an amazing array of favorite foods (and drinks!)and sweet memories. Thank you so much for sharing with me today. More comments welcome! I'll be back later this evening to see who else is looking forward to favorite holiday foods and flavors. Eat with joy! ~ Cleo
Oh, sweet! Four comments already. Ho, Ho, Ho!!! Thank you. :) Looking forward to reading more delicious "taste of the holiday" memories all day. ~ Cleo (who writes at night)
@Alyson – TY for the nice words -- and I hope my recipe helps put that pint of blueberries to good use!
@Jodi – Helloooo to another PA homegirl! And very glad to hear that you’re intrigued to read a mystery about firefighters.
Everyone, thanks again for all of your wonderful comments. Good luck in the drawing. And stay tuned for another "ROAST MORTEM Release Celebration" contest starting September 1.
Cleo Coyle here again. I am having so much fun reading these great comments – thank you to EVERYONE who left one. A few more shout-out replies to…
@G. Bisbjer – Oh, I WISH I had blueberry bushes. You are so LUCKY!
@Takyra – Glad you like the title! Roast Mortem is the 9th and we’ve had a lot of great ones in the series so far – On What Grounds, Through the Grinder, Latte Trouble, Murder Most Frothy, Decaffeinated Corpse, French Pressed, Espresso Shot, and…Holiday Grind! As you can see, we love punny titles. The mysteries have plenty of humor (along with action, romance, and recipes) so the lighter titles fit the series well.
@Beverly A – that memory of your grandmother coming for your wedding, showing you how to do pancakes “right” – priceless. Thank you for sharing that.
@Gabi – Oh, you made my day with that one! “Having coffee with Clare and NY firefighters…” Sweet!
@MaryEllen – “Men cooking, serving, and looking hot!” – Yep, I’ll bet if the FDNY took photos of their firefighters cooking, serving, and doing the dishes, it would go over even better than the annual hunks in hardhats calendar. (Nothing like showing the hubsters how very sexy they can look when doing the dishes – at least mine does!)
Love ALL of these comments – a few more shout-out replies to…
@Kai – great idea to publish a recipe book based on the Coffeehouse series. Many readers have suggested this and I think it would be a lot of fun -- but not for a few more years. In the meantime, I’ll keep publishing new recipes in my Coffeehouse Mysteries and bonus recipes on my website - www.CoffeehouseMystery.com Thank you for the suggestion!
@Sharon and Dee – thank you for the very kind comments.
@Colleen – love the memory of your grandmother making pancakes. :)
@Nancy – I’m so glad you dropped by to testify that my blueberry syrup recipe is indeed delish. Simple but oh-so good, especially on flapjacks. And thank you for the nice words about my books.
@Jane – I’m so happy to know that you discovered me here at Fresh Fiction! This is my first time blogging, but I’ll be back again, fo’ sure.
@Cherie – Helloooo Florida! Nice to know my post brought back some Big Apple memories. Really glad to hear that you dropped by my www.CoffeehouseMystery.com website and signed up for my newsletter. Every week I give away a free pound of my latest coffee pick and I pick the winner at random from my newsletter subscriber list – so good luck winning that drawing, too! :)
Cleo Coyle here again – Love ALL of these comments. A few more Shout-out replies to…
@Peggy R. – Thank you for the very thoughtful comment. Yes, the research was interesting and enlightening. Even in NYC, firefighters have lost their lives over very small things – like lacking a decent piece of escape rope. My heart goes out to the families of these brave people (men and women) who risk their lives to save lives. Of course, they’re only human, too, and not perfect – but their dedication truly is inspiring.
@Leni K – OMG – so glad you hopped over to www.CoffeehouseMystery.com (site plug, site plug!!) Glad you found my other recipes. You are too funny with the “empty stomach” joke. Like my amateur sleuth main character, Clare, I have a lot of fun cooking, baking, and inventing – the whole process calms me down and takes me to a very happy place -- and I can only hope my readers and site visitors cook (and eat) with joy, right along with me.
@Mary – Helloooo, Ohio! Glad to know you are enjoying my coffeehouse books. TY for dropping by to comment. :)
@Marilyn – Your lemon-blueberry bread sounds heavenly. I’ll bet it’s all eaten by now, lol! Love the memory of your 6-year-old NOT throwing up. :)
Cleo Coyle here – checking in again to say these comments are so much fun. A few shout-out replies…
Sara Reyes – just love that your son has those memories of going to the firehouse for pancakes. And thank you again for giving up your Sat. spot for me!
Cynthia P-H – Awesome that your grandparents owned a coffee field – I’m betting you’ll like my Coffeehouse series. Clare’s hunky ex-husband, Matt, who is still her business partner is a “coffee hunter” who treks all over the globe in search of beans so the books often touch on coffee farming. Matt’s also a real ladies’ man who tends to charm the pants off every woman he meets, much to Clare’s dismay, but then that’s why they’re divorced and she now has a new boyfriend, one of her most loyal coffeehouse customers - NYPD detective Mike Quinn. Suffice it to say Clare’s complicated love life keeps her as wired as the joe she sells. :)
Kelly – I’m so glad you like the trailer. It’s good to know longtime readers are pleased with it – and I hope you remain a “customer” of Clare’s Village Blend for years to come. :)
Anne – I’m so glad you are enjoying my Coffeehouse books. I hope you like the new one. My husband and I had a great time writing Roast Mortem. The research into how NY firefighters live and work was absolutely fascinating. Those guys are as cranky and crazy as the rest of us, yet they’re real heroes, too, literally willing to lay down their lives to rescue victims. It was pleasure and an honor to dedicate this book to them.
Loving all of your comments. More shout-outs to come!
Cleo Coyle here - Just dropping in to check out all of your comments. Love them! Will reply to more tonight and Sunday. Just wanted to say to Sara R.: Lancaster County is truly beautiful country. So glad to hear about your memories of firehouse pancakes -- and everyone's memories posted below yours, too. Also glad to know that there is so much shared love for our knights in bunker gear.
