BOOK TOUR
But two murders in a month on the same strip of Worth Avenue in Palm Beach is enough to whip Samantha Armstrong into a frenzy.
When Samantha relaxes into her new role as a dog mom, finds a circle of friends in her new hometown, and sees her new dog bakery Canine Confections barking up business, she’s thrilled that things are going so well … until she hears a bloodcurdling scream from the pastry shop two doors down and runs over to find a dead body on the floor.
Suddenly Samantha finds herself in a race against time to find not only the thief who is stealing from the upscale shops, but a murderer, too. Samantha’s Lab-Mix Sweet Pea wags her tail through all of the clues, suspects and shenanigans. Both Samantha and Sweet Pea are aided in their amateur investigation by the other shopkeepers on the elegant Worth Avenue, and Samantha finds the suspect list growing at every turn.
To make matters worse, Samantha’s old boyfriend arrives in town, and mysterious people start showing up at the Sophisticated Pet and New Age stores nearby. Samantha soon finds that things are not what they seem, and she must figure out what’s going on—or become the next dead body on a bakery floor.
Includes an original recipe from the world-famous Three Dog Bakery!
I Sing
By
Amy Hueston
I
sing, and I don’t mean in the shower. (In fact, I rarely sing in the shower.)
When I say I sing, I mean I get hired to sing. So yeah, I sing mostly on-key
and only sometimes make up the words as I go along. I’ve sung on stages and in
studios. One of my favorite jobs was singing on Aruba, and the reason it is one
of my favorites is not only because of the highly-professional stage production
and glamorous casino. Or the crystal water and divi divi trees that grow
sideways instead of straight up. Nope, it was one of my favorite jobs because
of the cast with whom I worked. We had the best time, not only on stage
but backstage. In fact, I’m still friends with many of them now. Another
favorite job was singing on a Coca Cola commercial. I loved working in the cozy
nook of a recording studio with a microphone and headphones, hearing only the
background music and having to sing Every. Single. Note. Exactly on pitch and
with the right nuances. A third favorite is a CD/Download I sang on called
Let’s Talk Love. The guy who created it happens to be my brother Gary Haase,
and he’s also worked with Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, and a lot of other
wildly-famous folks, so I’m really lucky. And here’s where the reading
community comes in…
I’m thinking
of making videos to go along with the four songs and asking readers for their
pet pictures, because for example, one of the songs is called “I’ve Grown
Accustomed to Your Face.” How cute would that be, to see cat, dog and other
animal faces on a video as the song plays? And READERS’ pets, the pets of the
readers I meet and talk to on Facebook, Insta and Twitter! I just think that
would be so much fun to see furry or feathery faces, and learn their names and
hear about their personalities.
Meeting
new people and animals is one of the most fun things about writing my Canine
Confections series. New customers come in to the dog bakery on the fancy Worth
Avenue, and we get to hear how the dogs and their people met, and gather intel
on important things, like if peanut butter truly is a dog’s best friend. So
merging singing with dogs and writing by including readers’ pets would be very
fun for me.
Amy Hueston writes mini-mysteries for Woman’s World magazine when she isn’t writing mystery and suspense novels. The first 3 books in her Canine Confections mystery series have an abundance of dogs and pastries, two of her favorite things, and will be available in 2021. Amy is also a professional singer who has performed nationally and internationally. A sought-after singer in South Florida, Amy draws on these experiences when writing.
Thank you for letting me visit!💃🏻🐕
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the opportunity to read "PAWS FOR ALARM" by Amy Hueston which most definitely is on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of recording pets and playing that along with the songs. Snickerdoodle is such a ham and would fit right in.
