I am thrilled to announce that Iced Tee, the second book in the Estela Nogales Mystery Series has been named the winner of the 2015 Chanticleer Book Reviews Small Town Cozy Mystery Award! The competition was tough and uncertain, so I am proud that Iced Tee was judged good enough to win this award. Thank you Chanticleer!

My cover artist and I recently redesigned the back cover of Iced Tee, and now I will be able to add a big gold sticker to the front. Hmm…should I cover up the dripping blood on the freezer, or part of the dogs?

I want to also take this opportunity to tell you that the launch of the third book in the series, Missing Mom, has been going swimmingly, and to thank you for the glowing reviews. Please keep those reviews coming! Sales of the series were better in February than in any previous month! Your support has been so important in getting the word out, and I hope more and more readers are finding and enjoying the series.

And the question I get asked most often: Will Estela and her friends be making a fourth appearance? News about that in the next post…
