ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Sandra has been writing for years with historicals being her main focus. By the time she had a polished manuscript in hand, historicals were unpopular. She didn’t give up though and decided to try her hand at writing a mystery. A cozy mystery.

Her first book, Murder on The Ol’ Bunions , released in April of 2008. Book two of the LaTisha Barnhart Mystery series, Polly Dent Loses Grip, and book three, Eat, Drink and Be Buried will follow in April 2009 and 2010, respectively.

She’s almost always running a contest, so drop by her Website, you just might win a free gift!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

LaTisha Barnhart’s bunions tell her something’s afoot as she delves deeper into the murder of her former employee, Marion Peters. When LaTisha becomes a suspect, the ante is upped, and she is determined to clear her name and find the culprit.

She’s burping Mark Hamm’s bad cooking to investigate his beef with Marion. . .getting her hair styled at a high falutin’ beauty parlor to see what has Regina Rogane in a snarl. . .playing self-appointed matchmaker between the local chief and a prime suspect. . .and thinking Payton O’Mahney’s music store lease might be the reason he’s singing out of tune when discussion of Marion’s murder arises. LaTisha’s thinking she just might use the reward money to get her bunions surgically removed. But she’s got to catch the crook first.

Small town intrigue, a delightful, vivid cast, and a well-crafted mystery make S. Dionne Moore’s debut novel a must-read! I loved it!~Susan May Warren~Award-winning author of Reclaiming Nick

“S. Dionne Moore has the rare quality of pulling together great characters and compelling plots.”

MY REVIEW:

I loved Murder on The Ol’ Bunions. LaTisha is one of the most audacious characters I have run across in some time. She is so refreshingly honest about herself, is not afraid to speak her mind, is compassionate and loyal to her friends and family, and devoted to her husband Hardy and to God. And to top it off, she is my kind of cook!

I also loved the author’s humorous touches throughout the book. Imagine a hairstylist named Regina Rogane and a stocky, balding grocer known as Shiny Portley! Murder on The Ol’ Bunions is a fun, cozy mystery with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end while keeping you laughing out loud the entire time. I heartily recommend Murder on The Ol’ Bunions and am considering becoming a member of the Heartsong Presents ~ Mysteries! Book Club to be sure I don’t miss the rest of this delightful series.

SPECIAL RECIPE CONTEST:

Sandra has just moved into a new house and hasn’t unpacked her kitchen yet so she was unable to access a recipe to share with my readers. However, she has graciously agreed to sponsor a recipe contest. She will select one recipe from any submitted in the comments to this post. The winner will receive an autographed copy of Murder on The Ol’ Bunions and possibly an appearance in the last book of the LaTisha series.
