Early Release of "Murder, Buy Cheeses"

Austin Macauley Publishers (London, New York) were eager to publish "Murder, Buy Cheeses".  They are a hybrid publisher and their share would have involved printing, advertising and distrubution of the book. This would have been wonderful. However, I could not come up with the 1/3 publishing fee of over $4,000 Cdn. 

Nevertheless, they wrote that the book is “…a most suspenseful and immersive mystery story, very well written, with an intriguing emphasis on a cheese store that hides many secrets… [It is] lighthearted and whimsical while still maintaining the sensibilities of a murder mystery.”

So, once again, Amazon Books is producing the book, and it will be posted in e-book and paperback format on November 6, 2023. A book launch is tentatively scheduled for December 6 in Annapolis Royal. This is dependent on the author's copies of the book arriving in time to do the publicity.

Murder, Buy Cheeses

When a new independent cheese store wants to open in a small Nova Scotia town in the Annapolis Valley, the area bristles with intrigue. Murder and mayhem ensue. 

But, the Good, the Bad and the in-between are mostly likeable, or at least understandable, if not downright loveble. 

A cheese shop, a church and government bureaucracy make for strange bedfellows.

The book is now in the hands of test readers and the feedback is excellent. Next stop, the publisher.

Hopefully the book will be out early in 2024.
