K.P. Stafford's Blog: The Book Worm

In this book, since it’s early in the series, I’ve made some changes. The girls aren’t just friends, they’re cousins. This leads to some family ancestry about the gifts they have and are uncovering and makes more sense that their bloodline is the reason for this mysterious gifts.

Blurb:
When three cousins—Peggy, Marnie, and Arlene—inherit their grandparents’ eccentric home, they uncover a treasure trove of secrets buried among the books and heirlooms. Among the dusty shelves, they find their gra...

So, I found a page on Facebook that shares really awesome old houses, estates, etc. I couldn’t decide which one I liked best as the Danforth Estate in Cryptic Cove, so I wanted to add them here and let you decide which one you’d like to visualize in the books.

There are two collages below. The images should open up in a light box that you can scroll through.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For me, it’s a toss up between the images below: The first one is my favorite and probably the one I will choose. But I lik...

My new series, Cobbler's Bluff Cozy Mysteries is set to be released in April starting with Book 1 - The Honeydew Queen.

Book 2 - The County Agent - will follow in May (or sooner).

This has been a fun project, albeit a bit emotional at times. My best writing friend passed away during the development of this series and she was a huge inspiration for it, so at times I've had to step away and let my emotions settle.

You can join my newsletter at my website for updates, although I will try to update here at Goodreads, too.

All the best,

Well, it’s been a long time coming. Okay, so maybe it’s only been a year between book 2 and book 3, but it seems like forever, right?

I made some changes with this. I wrote the first two books of the series (Murder & Mayhem and Murder & Menace) in first person. The first book went okay, as far as writing. The second book was much harder because I was discovering that I hate first person. I don’t read books in first person. Ugh! I did start off book 3 (Murder & Mockery) in first person. Oh my...

The fictional town of Cryptic Cove was created as a seaside town. However, I used the real town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas as inspiration for a lot of the places, the homes and the layout of the town. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of what I imagined.
