Book Two Coming Soon
I'll be launching the second book in the Cabin 9 Mysteries series in the near future. Book two is titled Untimely Checkout. I thought it might be fun to talk a little about the series and the newest book today.

Back in August of this year, I released the first book in this new series,
Campground Corpse. Readers met my main character Taylor Reigler who had inherited a campground in Indiana. She arrives at the old campground site in April to find the cabins filled with inches of dust and the ground waist high in grass and weeds. Her dream of spending about a month to get things up and running seemed destined to failure with all of the work that needed to be done. She meets Gavin Bishop and his sister Gwen on her first day at the grounds which begins a new friendship. That is where the mystery begins to unfold.
Cabin 9 Mysteries Book Two
In Untimely Checkout, the second book in the series, the story continues with a new mystery to solve. The story moves forward to early June with progress being made on the restoration work Taylor had hired done. Taylor and Gwen are testing out recipes in the main lodge on the crew of Webb Nailed It. Taylor hopes to get the campgrounds opened to overnight guests in the very near future and wants to decide what foods will be served as a part of the breakfasts. The crew is more than happy to come in every morning to eat for free and give their opinions as to what they liked or didn't like about the breakfast fare.
As with most Cozy Mysteries, before the first chapter ends a body is found and a murder needs to be solved. I won't spoil the plot here and tell you who was found or who done it or why, obviously I hope you will want to read the book when it comes out. I hope that I have woven a story that you will enjoy as you visit the activity at Whispering Oaks Campgrounds.
If you read Campground Corpse, you will remember Gwen and Gavin and the contractor Glenn Webb. They join us in the second book along with Aunt Flossie, the great-great-aunt of Taylor who happens to reside in spirit form on the grounds. You will meet some new characters in book two that I hope you enjoy. I know that I certainly enjoyed bringing them into the story as I wrote it.
As you read this new book, I hope there are times that you giggle, times that you say awww, and times that you think about something shared. As the plot unfolded in my head, I certainly had those moments.
Uncertain release date
I wish that I could tell you a specific day that the new book will be released. The story is finished with all of the i's dotted and t's crossed. It has gone through all of the edits and is waiting for a cover. That is the hold-up this time around. I waited a little late to ask my cover designer to make the new one. He is away on a holiday and when he returns he promises to get right on it. In the meantime, if you haven't read the first book in the series, you might want to read it before Untimely comes out. You don't have to, I feel that both can stand alone but reading the first one will help you know a little history of the returning characters.

I have really been looking forward to starting to read your new cozy mystery series, Bev. I own "Campground Corpse" already, but I haven't had the time to open it yet. Hopefully, that will happen soon! I loved the Roni Rainer Mysteries series and I know the Cabin 9 series will be just as awesome.
ReplyDeleteI totally enjoyed every one of your stories so far. Love your characters!
ReplyDeleteLoved the first book. Looking forward to #2.
ReplyDeleteBev, I look forward to your second in this series....I already know that you can spin a good story because I read all of your previous Roni Rainer mysteries. Thanks for bringing another book to life.
ReplyDeleteI think your Cabin 9 mysteries will be just as successful as your Roni Rainer mysteries, Bev. I love the idea of the ghost relative helping out in solving the mysteries. Look forward to your newest book.
ReplyDeleteSounds very good! You sure do pump out the books, congratulations on that, it's a lot of work. The story line of Cabin 9 Mysteries seems intriguing indeed. Mom loves a good murder mystery, I'm sure she'd enjoy this one.
