Author Nova Walsh writes culinary cozy mysteries full of humor, shenanigans, and friendships that last a lifetime. She mixes in a healthy dose of amateur sleuthing, some slow-burn romance, and a pinch of comedy in every book she writes.
Nova is a former chef/caterer who still loves to cook but loves to write even more. She’s an enthusiastic, if not totally successful gardener who loves travel, wine, and hanging out with friends.
Nova grew up in the southwest, and now lives in Galveston, Texas, with her husband, son, and dogs. When she isn’t writing, she’s often cooking, spending time with family, or reading a good book with a pup by her side.

Christmas in Sugar Creek

Christmas in Sugar Creek cover

I am writing today to let you all know about a new Sugar Creek story collection! I know it’s a bit of a surprise release… it was a surprise to me too, if I’m being honest. And it’s all because the characters of Sugar Creek were disappointed in me. They knew that all kinds of other cozy mystery characters were getting holiday stories and they wanted their own Christmas collection, too.

So after

“ran”
Nova Walsh, Death and Peaches

“It wasn’t quite ten yet, but the town was already waking up, the soft patter of rain against the windows adding to the comforting hush of the bookstore. Outside, Maple Street lay still, the orange and red leaves swirling along the sidewalk like confetti, signaling the arrival of autumn—my favorite season.”
Nova Walsh, The Cozy Corner Book Store
