Gayle Trent | FreshFiction + Fresh Cake = A Delicious Combination!
November 14, 2009
I’m thrilled to be a part of FreshFiction and to have the opportunity to
introduce you to my series, the Daphne Martin Cake Decorating
Mystery Series. The first book in the series is MURDER TAKES THE CAKE. In MURDER TAKES THE
CAKE, Daphne Martin returns home to Brea Ridge, Virginia, looking forward to
realizing her dream of starting a cake decorating business. But when the meanest
gossip in Brea Ridge dies mysteriously, suspicions turn to Daphne. But all
Daphne did was deliver a spice cake with cream cheese frosting–and find Yodel’s
body. Now Daphne’s got to help solve the murder and clear her good name. Problem
is, her hometown is brimming with people who had good reason to kill Yodel, and
Daphne’s whole family is among them. MURDER TAKES THE
CAKE was published in 2008 but was released on October 16, 2009 in
large-print hardcover by Thorndike. BBC Audiobooks in England has also
commissioned large-print rights to the book. The latest book in the cake decorating series was released in trade paperback
form by Bell Bridge Books on November 1, 2009 and is titled DEAD PAN. For the second
time in as many months, Daphne Martin finds herself telling a police officer, “I
just delivered the cake.” Several people became sick at Brea Ridge Pharmaceuticals’ annual holiday party
for its employees, and one–Fred Duncan–died. Fred’s mother insists on Daphne’s
help in learning why Fred died; and since none of the food has yet been
exonerated, Daphne feels compelled to find out what made everyone so ill. She’s
pretty sure it wasn’t her cake, but she can’t be certain until the police
complete the lab results. Was this an accident? Or did someone set out to kill
Fred? I hope you’ll decide to sink your teeth into DEAD PAN and MURDER TAKES THE CAKE. To
whet your appetite, you can subscribe to my newsletter at http://www.gayletrent.com
