About the author
Gayle Leeson
30 books502 followersGayle Leeson is a pseudonym for Gayle Trent. I also write as Amanda Lee. As Gayle Trent, I write the Daphne Martin Cake Mystery series and the Myrtle Crumb Mystery series. As Amanda Lee, I write the Embroidery Mystery series.
The cake decorating series features a heroine who is starting her life over in Southwest Virginia after a nasty divorce. The heroine, Daphne, has returned to her hometown of Brea Ridge to open a cake baking and decorating business and is wrestling with the question of whether or not one can go home again. She enjoys spending time with her sister, nephew, and niece, but she and her mother have a complicated relationship that isn’t always pleasant. Daphne has also reconnected with her high school sweetheart and is pursuing a rekindled romance while desperately trying to put her past behind her.
Kerry Vincent, Hall of Fame Sugar Artist, Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show Director, and Television Personality says the series is “a must read for cake bakers and anyone who has ever spent creative time in the kitchen!”
Says Dean Koontz, #1 New York Times bestselling author, “One day I found myself happily reading . . . mysteries by Gayle Trent. If she can win me over . . . she’s got a great future.”
The Embroidery Mystery series features a heroine who recently moved to the Oregon coast to open an embroidery specialty shop. Marcy Singer left her home in San Francisco, along with the humiliation of being left at the altar, in order to move to Tallulah Falls and realize her dream of owning her own shop. She takes along her faithful companion, a one-year-old Irish wolfhound named Angus O’Ruff. She makes many new friends in Tallulah Falls, but she also makes a few enemies. Thankfully, her best friend Sadie MacKenzie and her husband Blake run the coffeehouse right down the street from Marcy’s shop, the Seven-Year Stitch; and Detective Ted Nash always has her back.
Publishers Weekly says, “Fans of the genre will take kindly to Marcy, her Irish wolfhound, Angus O’Ruff, and Tallulah Falls. This is a fast, pleasant read with prose full of pop culture references and, of course, sharp needlework puns.”
Pat Cooper of RT Book Reviews says, “If her debut here is any indication, Lee’s new series is going to be fun, spunky and educational. She smoothly interweaves plot with her character’s personality and charm, while dropping tantalizing hints of stitching projects and their history. Marcy Singer is young, fun, sharp and likable. Readers will be looking forward to her future adventures.” (RT Book Reviews nominated The Quick and the Thread for a 2010 Book Reviewers’ Choice Award in the Amateur Sleuth category)
I live in Virginia with my family, which includes her own “Angus” who is not an Irish wolfhound but a Great Pyrenees who provides plenty of inspiration for the character of Mr. O’Ruff. I'm having a blast writing this new series!

A sweet Christmas tale
This short story gives you insight into being old and alone and young and alone. All the fears that come from getting into a relationship no matter what your age is. Kinsey Falls is proving to be a delightful community that will draw you in and wanting daily news about its residents, and the things that make them be drawn to each other like a family. Great read, hoping there is another Kinsey Falls story coming soon.

I downloaded this book and somehow didn't get it read until after Valentine's Day. But no matter, Christmas stories can be enjoyed year round, and I certainly enjoyed this book about Millie and her granddaughter, Jade. It was full of friendship, sweet romance and a happy ending-what more could anyone want? I recommend it to everyone as a quick and happy read. Problems? Loneliness? Not for long with these friends caring for each other!

Good read
This was a good read. Since it was new to me I felt I was missing out on something but it didn't take away from the book itself. I will be looking into more from the series.

Matchmaking is a foot with the members of the knitting group. Happy with the success of a previous match, they are at it again. Sometimes you get lucky.

Kinsey falls Christmas story
Cute Christmas story about love for the young and seniors. Matchmaking doesn’t always work sometimes it works better on its own.

A quick 15 min read
Sorry Ms Leeson but just too short for me to enjoy. It was finished before it started. No time to introduce characters and where was Christmas?
