BSP and Passing It Forward by Debra H. Goldstein

For the next few months, while Linda takes a short break, watch for guest posts featuring new books and authors.

BSP and Passing it Forward by Debra H. Goldstein

It took me months to learn that BSP stands for “Blatant Self Promotion.” Like many authors, I’m basically an introvert who struggles to self-promote. Although I could use this column to tell you that Three Treats Too Many, the new Sarah Blair mystery, releases on August 25, but is available for pre-order and that the e-book version of Two Bites Too Many, which was just named a 2020 Silver Falchion finalist, will be reduced to $.99 from August 21-24, and featured in a Bookbub ad on August 22, but I won’t. Instead, I want to pass it forward and tell you about some new releases I think might interest you.

On Tuesday, August 11, pick up a copy of PAW AND ORDER by V. M. Burns.

It is the fourth book in the Dog Club Mystery Series. Available at https://bit.ly/DCMPawAndOrder :

Lilly's best pal Scarlett “Dixie” Jefferson has done it again! She’s convinced eccentric poodle-loving billionaire Archibald Lowry to sponsor a grand fundraiser for the Eastern Tennessee Poodle Rescue. Tragically, it’s too late to rescue Lowry, who is murdered at the event. His pet poodle is now orphaned, so Dixie begs Lilly to foster the adorable pup. Of course, she already has a poodle—her beloved Aggie, named after Agatha Christie. Fortunately, Aggie seems to like the new addition to the family, whom Lilly renames Rex, after her second favorite mystery author, Rex Stout.
 
But she’s barely welcomed Rex into her home when there’s an attempted poodle-nabbing, foiled with Aggie’s help. As desperate characters try to get their hands on the canine cutie, Lilly turns to Dixie’s dog training class to help her sort through a litter of suspects. Ultimately, she may have to unleash Rex as bait to collar the killer . . .

Another book to check out this month is Digging Up the Remains by Julia Henry. It is the third book in the Garden Squad mystery series. This time,

Between hosting a haunted house on her lawn, serving on the town’s 400th Anniversary Planning Committee, and prepping for the Fall Festival’s 10k fundraiser, Lilly’s hands are full. She doesn’t have time for prickly newspaper reporter Tyler Crane, who’s been creeping around town, looking for dirt on Goosebush’s most notable families . . . until he’s found dead on the race route moments before the start.
 
An unfortunate accident? Or did Tyler unearth a secret that someone in Goosebush is willing to kill to keep? By planting nasty rumors and cultivating fear, Tyler sowed a fair share of ill will during his brief time in town. Weeding through the suspects will be thorny, but Lilly and her Garden Squad are determined to root out the autumnal assassin before the Fall Festival flops . .

A few more recently or about to be released books include Cheryl Hollon’s Still Knife Painting, Leslie Budewitz’s The Solace of Bay Leaves, Sherry Harris’ From Beer to Eternity, Bethany Maines’ Love and Treasure, Anna Gerald’s Peachy Scream, and Maggie Toussaint’s All Done With It.
