Patrice Lyle | Top 5 Most Fabulous Chocolate Desserts!

twitterfacebook

Dr. Piper is a chocoholic naturopathic doctor who solves health problems and
murder as she
moonlights as a PI in the Health Nut Mystery series. She routinely obsesses
about two
things: her hot cowboy boyfriend and dark chocolate! They say β€˜write what
you know’ so
writing about a chocoholic is easy because I love chocolate too!

Here are Dr. Piper’s top 5 favorite chocolate desserts:

1. Dark chocolate covered almonds – Dr. Piper’s daily snack that she can’t live without. 2. Dark chocolate dipped strawberries – Dr. Piper’s favorite party dessert. 3. Dark chocolate mousse – Dr. Piper’s favorite dark chocolate mousse is made with avocado…a rich treat. 4. Ghirardelli hot fudge ice cream sundae – Dr. Piper and Aunt Alfa splurged on one of these in San Francisco at Ghirardelli Square….to die for! 5. Thornton’s Chocolates – Aunt Alfa discovered these truly decadent chocolates in England when she worked at a psychic hotline. Dr. Piper loves them!

GIVEAWAY

To celebrate the release of KILLER CARAT CREAM (Health Nut Mystery #2) I’m giving away this fabulous Ghirardelli basket of dark chocolate delicious-ness! Enter to win by visiting my website and signing up for my newsletter! The contest ends on midnight on Saturday, August 29th. Good luck!

About KILLER CARAT CREAM

When naturopath and self-proclaimed chocoholic, Dr. Piper Meadows, hosts a spa night for the launch of the super- exfoliating diamond-dust Carat Cream, she never expects her guests to actually be "drop dead" gorgeous. But that's just what happens when celebrity dermatologist Dr. Jasmine dies after using a jar laced with poison. Suddenly Piper's products are under scrutiny...as is her eccentric, fun- loving Aunt Alfa, who has a history with police and poisonings. Add in an ornery psychic from the "other side," a pampered potbellied pig, and a handful of eclectic suspects, and Piper has her work cut out for her. With her more-delish-than-dark-chocolate-covered- almonds boyfriend, Tattoo Tex, along to help, Piper sets out to find the out the truth as she consults her PI flash cards to catch a killer intent on ridding the world of more than just dead skin cells.
