Antiques mall bookkeeper Alana O’Neill researches events from sixty years ago to discover a murderer during a BLAST FROM THE PAST Valentine’s festival while her teen son resists romance in Amy Alessio’s novella.

Over twenty recipes plus variations from the author’s collection of vintage handwritten recipe boxes include Peanut Butter Bars, Potato Chip Cookies, Strawberry Jam Cake, Toffee Crunch Cookies and Butter Cake.

"Amy Alessio sure knows the recipe for a fun cozy. 'Blast From The Past' is just that -- a blast!" -Chris Grabenstein, Anthony & Agatha Award winning author

"Amy Alessio's 'Blast from the Past' reminds us that the good old days weren't always a kinder, gentler time. The idea of lost treasures found only to uncover deception and lead to murder is a cautionary tale for antique mall and estate sale enthusiasts. You never know which secrets are worth killing for! Entertaining all the way." -Luisa Buehler, Author of the Grace Marsden Mysteries
