Writes:
Perhaps you’ve done a cheese and wine pairing? Well, I pair cheese with murder mysteries. I write the Agatha Award nominated Cheese Shop Mystery series, a cozy series with puntastic titles like Cheddar Off Dead, Gone For Gouda, and Curds of Prey. My protagonist, cheesemonger Willa Bauer, firmly believes most of life’s problems can be solved with cheese, but can she apply that to murder? In my latest book, CURDS OF PREY, Willa’s caught in the middle of two powerful Sonoma Valley families at odds. She must walk a tightrope between the two to discover which one might be hiding a killer.
About:
For the past several years, I’ve been on my own Eat, Pray, Love journey, which seems to have stalled at the Eat phase. Lucky for me, my profession requires me to research cheese. Following the prerequisite to being a cozy mystery author, I love cats, although I don’t have one at present. I’ll always choose travel over shopping, especially if it involves the ocean. Being a New Englander, I adore the outdoors… as long as the temperature is just right. Otherwise, give me a roaring fireplace and a good book.
I’m looking for readers who are interested in:
- An idyllic small town… except for a pesky occasional murder
- Puzzling out a mystery along with my sleuth
- A French-inspired cheese shop called Curds & Whey
- All things cheese
- Quirky friends
- Romantic entanglements
- Two wealthy, powerful Sonoma Valley families at odds
- An opulent wedding shower turned disastrous
- A dash of peril followed by a hearty dose of justice
What to expect if we're compatible:
- Bingeing my first three books with at least three more to come
- Changing your mind about “whodunit” multiple times
- Craving cheese and googling “cheese shops near me”
- Becoming #teamheath or #teamroman, regardless of who Willa chooses
- Continuously changing your decision on your favorite side character: Baz, Archie, or Mrs. Schultz
- Making the cheeselicious recipes in the back of the books
- Laughing at your own cheese puns that suddenly start popping into your head
- Becoming Facebook and Instagram mutuals
- Becoming a part of #teamcheese by subscribing through my author website
- Getting a fun free monthly newsletter
Cheese Shop Mysteries #3
In Korina Moss's Curds of Prey, murder again comes to Yarrow Glen, and cheesemonger Willa Bauer must be the predator… before she becomes the prey.
Yarrow Glen's favorite cheese shop, Curds & Whey, gets to be a part of the social event of the season: Summer Harrington’s wedding. Cheesemonger Willa Bauer is going all out for the wedding shower’s cheese bar. But the eagle-eyed Harrington family is proving to be a pain in her asiago. A last-minute tasting ends in disaster when one of Willa’s potential beaux, Roman, gets in a fight with the groom. Then the shower arrives, and while there’s anything but love in the air, there is plenty of cheese. Oh, and Roman... again. The day officially ends in disaster when Willa finds the groom—who also happens to be the mayor’s nephew—in the stable, dead as a dodo. At the mayor’s request, Willa must follow the trail of cheese curds to find a killer while continuing to walk a tightrope between two of Sonoma Valley’s most powerful families.
