Hello, Cozy Readers! It’s been a busy couple weeks here at my house, hosting family from out of town and getting ready for some exciting things in the next couple months. Halloween, of course, but also wrapping up some writing projects and starting a couple more.
And on the topic of exciting things, I’m thrilled to share with you my short story, “The Gift,” which is free until mid-November via my website, B&N and Kobo, and for 99¢ on Amazon. You can find links to the story on Amazon, B&N, and Kobo here: https://books.tammydwalker.com/thegiftshortstory
My kids’ costumes are ready, but I’m not sure what I’ll dress as…. Do you have plans for Halloween? I’d love to hear about them!
Sending you cozy wishes,
Tammy D. Walker

Death at First Night by Kimberly Griggs
A blast from Mallory’s past has arrived in tranquil Key West, and she’s not at all thrilled about it.
Andrew Mercer, her former boyfriend and reason number one for her move to the Southernmost part of the US, is staking his claim. He wants her back, and he will stop at nothing to make that happen. Or is there a more nefarious reason he’s lurking about?
Mallory’s blonde, bombshell nemesis is found toes up with a scarf around her neck at the Hemingway Home Bookstore, and Andrew is suspect numero uno. Only, he claims he’s innocent and wants Mallory to find her killer or else. Spurred on by the desire to have her life back, Mallory employs the help of her quirky best friend, Juniper Jones, as well as newest gal pal, Ernesta Castro, a pot-laced-cigar-smoking hippie with a penchant for motorcycle-riding, leather-wearing giants.
With the hunky Huck Jameson MIA, Mallory turns to sexy Detective Luke Beckett for assistance, but it seems Beckett is after more than just a killer—he’s after her heart. Huck’s return could be problematic for their budding romance, but is he too late? Who will win her heart? And will the killer get to her before she can explore her own Happily Ever After?
