While I’ve never met Lois Winston personally, I’ve been a guest on her terrific blog several times, and I’m also included in her two cookbook collections: Bake, Love, Write and We’d Rather Be Writing. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to her latest Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery:

Author Name: Lois Winston

Book Title: Drop Dead Ornament: An Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 7

Book Genre: Cozy mystery

Release Date: October 22, 2018

Synopsis: Anastasia Pollack’s son Alex is dating Sophie Lambert, the new kid in town. For their community service project, the high school seniors have chosen to raise money for the county food bank. Anastasia taps her craft industry contacts to donate materials for the students to make Christmas ornaments they’ll sell at the town’s annual Holiday Crafts Fair.

At the fair Anastasia meets Sophie’s father, Shane Lambert, who strikes her as a man with secrets. She also notices a woman eavesdropping on their conversation. Later that evening when the woman turns up dead, Sophie’s father is arrested for her murder.

Alex and Sophie beg Anastasia to find the real killer, but Anastasia has had her fill of dead bodies. She’s also not convinced of Shane’s innocence. Besides, she’s promised younger son Nick she’ll stop risking her life. But how can she say no to Alex?
