Happy September!
The past few days have started out chilly here in Vermont, a nip in the air and a promise of autumn on the breeze. I could not be more delighted. I don't do well in the heat and September, October, and November are probably my favorite stretch of the year. I am ready for flannel and fires and apple cider and hot cocoa and reading under a blanket!
I am so excited to start unveiling some of the details of the third Maggie D'arcy mystery, which will be published by Minotaur Books on June 21, 2022! (You can even preorder now from your favorite indie bookstore!) Check below for a reveal of the title.
I also write about my trip to an island with special significance to my family and highlight some mystery novels set on islands. My September recipe packs a creamy, garlicky punch.
Best wishes to you and yours. Things seem uncertain and a bit scary in the world as I sign off on this month's newsletter. I am thinking of all those who are afraid right now, those affected by flood, sickness, fire, and war. Here's to taking care of each other and to better times ahead.
