Mystery Cozy

New York Times bestselling author Eileen Goudge presents Bones and Roses, the first book in her exciting new Cypress Bay Mysteries series!

Welcome to the northern California seaside town of Cypress Bay, where the surf's up, the sixties live on and long-buried secrets are about to surface.

From home invasions to cheating spouses, Rest Easy Property Management owner Leticia "Tish" Ballard thought she'd seen it all. Almost four years sober after flambéing her real estate career in an alcohol-fueled blowout, she's finally in a good place in her life when the discovery of skeletal human remains rocks her world and plunges her headlong into solving a decades-old crime. Now she must delve into the darkness of her own past, including the one-night stand gone horribly wrong with Spence Breedlove, who happens to be the lead detective on the case. When the truth comes out at long last, Tish finds herself pitted against an enemy who will stop at nothing in a fight for her own life.

Re: Bones and Roses

I am always impressed by authors' stories of how they arrive
at their careers and how surviving the process makes them
better people and writers. And now with the option of indie
publishing it seems the process would be simpler. Thanks for
your insight into how it all "works."

I congratulate you for taking the plunge, and going into
Indie publishing. I also want to thank you for breaking
everything down for those of us who were not aware of what
it was, and what was involved. I've been on websites, where
books were shown, and some of them were listed as Indie
published. I had no idea what they were talking about, so I
passed them up, and may have passed up a really good read!!
Knowing your background, I will be sure to look for your
books, not only now, but in the future. To me, things may
have been going digital, but you can't beat holding the real
thing in your hands, instead of a machine!! Best of luck to
you!!

This looks like it is going to be a very intriguing start for a new series, looking forward to the journey :)

"You get me! You totally get me!" is what Tish would be
saying right now. I'm sure she's feeling the love, though
it's probably best not to give her too much
encouragement--she tends to get into trouble when she's
going all gonzo. You'll be seeing more of her in Book 2
of my Cypress Bay mystery series, SWIMSUIT BODY. Stay
tuned.
