What great joy it to have THE ICED PRINCESS, the
second book in the Snow Globe Shop Mysteries, now available. And just in time
for Christmas gifts.
The Iced Princess continues with the same cast of characters from SNOW WAY OUT. And a few new
ones, too. One of my favorite parts of writing fiction is creating new
characters. Each one takes on a life of his or her own, and I love watching them
flesh out and develop when they are dealing with the people and circumstances in
their lives. Camryn Brooks is the protagonist in this series. She is currently
managing her parents’ business, Curio Finds, a shop that specializes in snow
globes from around the world. It’s not where she planned to be at this point in
her life—or ever—but it’s where she landed after a scandal changed her career path.
Alice “Pinky” Nelson, one of Cami’s best friends, runs a coffee shop, Brew
Ha-Ha, in the building adjoining Curio Finds. Their other childhood friends,
teacher Erin Vickerman and Brooks Landing Police Officer, Mark Weston are woven
in the storylines, as they are in their life events. As is the assistant chief
of police, Clinton Lonsbury who Cami finds both attractive and irritating.
In THE ICED PRINCESS,
Pinky convinces Cami they need extra help at their shops for the holidays. Their
two new hires, Emmy and Molly, report for work and butt heads from the start.
And at the end of the stress-filled day only one of them gets to go home. The
other has met an untimely death in Cami’s shop. Cami feels compelled to find out
what caused her death, trying her best to stay out of the way of the police. But
as she takes a closer look at a number of potential suspects, she finds herself
is some big trouble of her own.

The national bestselling author of SNOW WAY OUT returns with more
sparkling snow globes and cold-blooded murder...
It’s that time of the
year again—the Christmas rush is about to begin, and curio shop owner Camryn
Brooks and her BFF, coffee shop owner Alice “Pinky” Nelson, need to hire
additional help. Their former high-school classmate, Molly Dalton, is not
exactly who they had in mind. Has the rich socialite worked a day in her life?
But Molly practically begs for the job.
On her first day, Molly seems to
be in her own little world, and Cami worries that her new employee may flake
out. The problem turns out to be far worse than that when Cami discovers Molly
dead in the back of the shop, after drinking a poisoned cup of coffee. Soon
there is an avalanche of suspects as Cami starts shoveling through the
clues—including a shattered snow globe of Marilyn Monroe. Now Cami will have to
venture out of her safety zone before the pathological poisoner stirs up more
trouble...
Snow globe-making projects and tips included!
