Hail ye, hail ye, and welcome to the Renaissance Faire Village. Here, assistant professor Jessie Morton spends her summers honing her skills and finding the lady, lord, or serf whodunit. But when she comes for Christmas, will murder mean a very unhappy holiday? A NAUGHTY TOY MAKER BETTER WATCH OUT… Jessie Morton is getting just what she wished for this holiday season at the Renaissance Faire Village—working as an apprentice to the new toy maker. But when Chris Christmas is discovered dead just hours after her arrival, Jessie’s holiday plans start to melt away. Jessie can’t imagine who would want to silence the toy maker, but apparently the red-cheeked Chris Christmas liked toying with the ladies. Although it may be her shortest apprenticeship ever, she wants to unwrap the truth before word gets out in the village that it’s not safe to be Santa—or one of his helpers...

Re: Treacherous Toys
What if...I love those two words it means anything is possible. I can't wait to see whats next. (Deborah Garcia 2:03am September 5, 2012)
Yes what if notes the many pathways you could take...and the different roads you could go down....always a mystery...always a wonder... (Darci Paice 2:09am September 5, 2012)
I love the perspective you put on writing. As a writer myself, hoping to become a published author in the future, I am always looking for 'what ifs' to inspire my writing. Thank you for sharing this viewpoint, it really hits the core with readers. =) (Samantha King 2:26am September 5, 2012)
This looks like a book I'd love to just sit and read and enjoy!!! Thanks (Bonnie Capuano 4:45am September 5, 2012)
I enjoy alternate histories and just slightly alternate worlds. There is no telling where they might lead.... (Clare O'Beara 5:11am September 5, 2012)
I've enjoyed your various series over the last couple of years. This post reminded me to go back and look up the ones I've missed especially since I'm on a cozy kick right now. (Anne Muller 9:07am September 5, 2012)
I am so excited about your new book! I can't wait to read it! Thank you for all your wonderful books! (Teresa Sullivan 9:36am September 5, 2012)
I love it when I find new mystery authors, (new to me). Love the title. (Frances Devine 9:56am September 5, 2012)
Thanks for the comments, Deborah, Darci, Samantha, Bonnie, Clare, Anne, Teresa, and Frances! We're so glad you stopped by! I hope you enjoy Treacherous Toys. If you're writing, we wish you the best of luck!

I can't wait to read it! (Ashley C 10:37am September 5, 2012)
Your new book sounds wonderful !! I think sometimes people get caught up in their day to day life they put their dreams on the back burner until it's forgotten about What If kind of thinking could really be inspirational and i think alot of people don't stop to think about the what if's (guilty of that) Justwent to Myrtle Beach a few weeks ago, we try to go a couple of times a year I love reading books that take place in places i'm familier with.

I'm amazed whenever two authors work together and write a book. There must be a secret as to how the work is divided. Regardless, this sounds like a winner. (Anna Speed 1:43pm September 5, 2012)

What if ... I have never read any of your 60 books?? I must admit that I'm out of touch with a lot of Authors. That is why I was thrilled to find Fresh Fiction!! After reading your posting today, I know you have to be doing something right. I also fell in love with the cover of your latest book, and knew that I just had to put it on my TBR list!! I'm just as excited as you are, and wish you the best of luck with it - although I'm sure by now that you have quite a following. I'm sure this is going to be just the ticket to not only start off my Fall season, but put me in the Christmas spirit, every time I look at the cover!! (Peggy Roberson 7:38pm September 5, 2012)
sounds like a great read (Jennifer Beck 8:34pm September 5, 2012)
"What if" brings so many possibilities. Sometimes, it helps me prepare for the worst possibilities. Sometimes, it just drives me crazy. Other times, that is why I'm a dreamer. (Kai Wong 8:58pm September 5, 2012)
I love mysteries series! (Nancy Gallagher 9:28pm September 5, 2012)
Mysteries are some of my favorite stories! (MaryAnne Banks 9:47pm September 5, 2012)

Looks like a fantastic read... (Holly Vanderhule 10:06pm September 5, 2012)
What if always leads to excitement and fun. (Roseann Moss 11:15pm September 5, 2012)
The name of Wiki instantly brings to mind the vast resources available through Wikipedia but there is much more to this word than that. The name Wiki refers to a type of CMS with which you can create an assembly of several web pages interlinked through hyperlinks. Also used will be a markup language in the form of WYSIWYG, what you see is what you get, text editor. These wikis can be used by different people simultaneously as the usability of most of these applications will be available to everyone. Collaborative features of Wiki software applications is one of its key advantage. Examples of this collaborative use can be seen through websites for community exchanges and social interactions, corporate intranets and websites for knowledge management. You may incorporate controls for specific tasks like content updates and modifications while allowing read access for other areas of operations. (Rhea Blair 4:50am September 6, 2012)
Thanks Roseann, Holly, Mary, Maryann, Nancy, Kai, Jennifer, Peggy, Cheryl, Leslie, Christine, Emily, Linda, Sue, Marguerite, Sharon, Kimberly, Deanna and Rita. DEEP BREATH! Ashley, Lori, Sally, Sandy, Maryellen, Candace, Shari, Sue, Rita, Anna, Marjorie! Thanks for stopping by! What if is certainly a powerful thought. Dreaming is another. Let's not lose that! (Joyce Lavene 7:21am September 6, 2012)
TREACHEROUS TOYS looks fabulous!! (Mary Preston 8:36am September 6, 2012)
