Objets d'Artifice

by J.S. Devivre

Penelope Price has finally settled into a pleasant rhythm as proprietress of Antiquiteas in 1920s Pacific Grove, CA. Not only is business good, but she's found love with a wonderful man—that is until the past rears its accusatory head, threatening to derail all they've worked toward. And then of course there is the matter of that dead body.The third book in the Tea Cozy Mysteries series follows the evolving lives of the Tea & Sympathy Investigative Agency ladies, for better or worse, richer or poorer, in health and death.

About the author

JS Devivre is the author of Mind the Portal, the first in a 7-part Omni Tale series centering on Pete Drake, a student at the interdimensional Academy of Omniosophical Arts & Sciences. As a plenipotentiary for the school, Miss Devivre has been instrumental in the publishing of a number of omniversal works including Sheffield’s Irrefutable Rules of Squallix.

In addition to penning the 1920s Tea Cozy Mysteries series and The Tea Traveller’s Constant Companion tearoom guidebooks, she creates mystery games and has seen a score of her interactive plays produced. She primarily views herself as an eventeur, routinely mounting full-immersion theme events ranging in duration from an hour to a week.

In January 2018, she took fans of the Tea Cozy Mysteries to Northern California to walk in the footsteps of the characters. In summer, she’ll lead a group to the UK for a Spot of London - Sampling of Literature tea trip. The year after, she’ll host two academy events: a regional Squallix tournament and a Qamp Omni cruise. Her next Omni tale, Living in Oblivion, will be available to advance readers in May 2018.

Afternoon tea, Cirque du Soleil, and travel are her confessed vices. Her assistant is an English bulldog named Molly.
