A gorgeous day in San Jose, the first of many spring and summer days, I hope. Have been reviewing the mock-up covers for my new mystery book, Murder is a Family Business. The graphic artist is quite talented. This is very exciting. Can’t wait for its release January 1st! But first the book needs to go thru the editing process. Hope that comes out as well as the book jacket has.

Coming Soon!
The Culinary Art of Murder, Book 6 of the Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries, will become a reality in November 2017!
Blurb: Lee’s Uncle Tío is smitten with the lady guest chef at a Silicon Valley culinary art institute. When the lady is arrested for two murders, a fellow chef and the dishwasher, Lee agrees to help find the real killer. But undercover work at the institute proves to be more dangerous than whipping up a chocolate soufflé. Can she find the murderer before her own goose is cooked? If it turns out to be the ambitious southern belle chef, will Tío ever forgive Lee for sending his new lady love to jail?
