Holiday Spectacular: The Copper Valley Cocoa Conniption Competition

December 13, 2022 By Kari Kilgore

The Copper Valley Cocoa Conniption Competition cover

I’m delighted to share my second contribution to this year’s Holiday Spectacular from WMG Publishing with The Copper Valley Cocoa Conniption Competition. In case you want to celebrate along with me and everyone in the little Appalachian town of Copper Valley, December 13 is National Cocoa Day!

One important thing you’ll learn in this cozy mystery is hot cocoa isn’t the same as hot chocolate. For cocoa, you start with cocoa powder rather than melting chocolate. After that, the only limit to the flavors you create is your own imagination and the ingredients you have on hand.

Of course you want to make sure you know what’s in all the ingredients you work with. Leaving such things to chance can lead to…unexpected results.

Story Titles and the Getting Justice StoryBundle!

September 12, 2021 By Kari Kilgore

Getting Justice Bundle

I couldn’t be happier to see my Victorian Era crime fantasy novel Independent by Means of Magic included in the Getting Justice StoryBundle, partly because of the unusual way this story took shape in the writing engine inside my head. I had to give myself time to find the story in this case, and finding the eventual title was a journey all by itself.

There are nine other fantastic books by some of my favorite writers in this bundle, all with their own unique focus on justice and how to get it. And you can get all the ebooks at a great bargain, but check it out before time runs out!
