A Cute Little Murder by Molly Harper: 9780593817346 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books She used to be the sidekick. Now she might be the only one who can survive. As teens, Harlow Drake and Lainey Piper built an online fandom solving small-town crimes. Harlow was the star, Lainey the b...

I’ve been describing this title as “What happens when the teen sleuth’s sidekick grows up and wants to get even?” (The Peach & Knife Club Buttons will make SO MUCH more sense after you read it!)

This quote by Jorge Luis Borges about libraries feels so true. He was a writer from Argentina and I love that he wrote books and loved books. "I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library."

The prose in this one is just beautiful! It's one of my favorites!!

A teaser from my upcoming release, Wrapped Up in Murder: "Nun on a bun," I muttered. "I really thought I had more time." I groaned as my dog looked up at me, ears perked as if I had his full attention, his tail wagging back and forth. His broad chest and blocky head might make people think he was intimidating, but the most the gray pitbull mix had ever attacked was a dust mote. Possibly a bee. But, he seemed to have learned his lesson with that one. Below that are images of the book in ebook and paperback as well as an accompanying bookmark. Next to those is the big K kickstarter logo in green.

First teaser for Wrapped Up in Murder! The Kickstarter is fully funded, but we're reaching for some stretch goals now. This will go out to Kickstarter backers by early December, & to the wider public probably in January.
