I’m having a ball doing publicity for my debut novel, Murder in the Piazza. It’s given me a chance to join authors on panels discussing what makes a great mystery, talk with readers at book group conversations, and answer questions about my journey as a writer.
If you’re curious about the craft of writing and the elements that go into a great mystery, I hope you’ll check out some of my events, interviews and recordings here.
Murder in the Piazza follows Maggie White, a middle-aged American newly arrived in Rome on her husband’s expat assignment. She’s spent the last twenty years juggling career and family, but now her kids are in college and she’s been downsized from the high-powered job that gave her an identity. She thinks offering painting instruction to well-heeled travelers on a luxury tour will unlock the secret to living the dolce vita, then she discovers her boss shot dead in his penthouse. And when the police discover the dead man was blackmailing Maggie, she finds herself the prime suspect.
Murder in the Piazza has gotten some really lovely reviews. You can learn more and order the book from any of your favorite booksellers: Amazon, Indiebound, and Barnes & Noble, as well as join my mailing list.
Thank you for making Meez a part of your family and for joining me as I embark on this new journey.
Happy cooking, and happy reading!
