A Note from the Author

Dear Readers,

 

This book is a little different. I’d like to explain a few things so you’ll know what to expect.

 

This is not the next Wisteria Tearoom Mystery. That will be As Red as Any Blood, coming out in the fall of 2017. 

~ This is not a novel, it’s a novella, about a third as long as the novels. Cheer up! You’ll still get a full-length novel later this year. 

~ This is not a murder mystery. It’s material that I wanted to put into A Masquerade of Muertos, but if I had done so it would have slowed the main story too much. 

~ Finally, if you have not encountered the Wisteria Tearoom books before, this is not the best one to start with. If you haven’t read book 5, it might not make a lot of sense to you. Any of the mysteries is a better choice. Since they’re sequential, I recom­mend starting with book 1, A Fatal Twist of Lemon.

I hope you enjoy this little interlude. Meanwhile, I’m off to the writing chair to work on book 6.
