THE WAIT IS OVER

Get ready to pitch your tents and light the campfire for a wildly entertaining mystery with “Bonfires, Backpacks, & Brawls,” the latest page-turner in the A Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery Series. When the peaceful plunk of fishing lures at Happy Trails Campground is replaced by the startling bang of gunshots, Mae West and the Laundry Club ladies gear up for their most adventurous case yet in the heart of Daniel Boone National Forest.

Imagine stumbling upon a body in the woods—only it’s not hunting season, and this isn’t a deer we’re talking about. This twist sends Mae and her gang on a trek through a forest thick with secrets, where every turn in the trail could be the clue they need or a dead end. The victim, a real outdoorsman with a complex web of connections to the wilderness, has left behind a trail as puzzling as a switchback path.

“Bonfires, Backpacks, & Brawls” isn’t just any cozy caper; it’s a romp through the great outdoors, complete with twists, turns, and Tonya Kappes’ signature dose of humor.

So, pack your sense of adventure (and maybe a flashlight) and join Mae and the gang as they navigate the wilds of human nature. “Bonfires, Backpacks, & Brawls” is more than a mystery; it’s an expedition into excitement, proving once and for all that where there’s smoke… there’s laughter, lies, and a darn good read. Catch your copy today and become a happy camper in the world of cozy mysteries!

Readers Take Denver 2024

April 24, 2024

We had such a great time on the road. But first I wanted to talk about the event.

It was a very large event with over 3000 readers…and 300 authors. It was so large but you were able to pick and choose the activities you wanted to do.

I was involved in two book signings and the murder mystery supper as Dusty, the librarian! I’m happy to say that I wasn’t the murderer!!

BUT I was able to visit with a couple of Patreons who came as well a met a bunch of new readers!! I was so excited and happy to meet new friends.

Traveling wasn’t just traveling and seeing all the cool things. We did have to work. Every day while Eddy did most of the driving I wrote at least ten pages a day.

Rowena did her best to help navigate or just sleep. We have a book release this week and one of Eddy’s jobs is to make sure the print books are ready. That’s what he is doing with his computer.

The other photo of Eddy is how he put together 200 goody bags for the murder mystery. And did you see that snow??? Kill me now!!

Literally when we woke up and saw the snow…I guess you don’t need to know what we said but trust me, it wasn’t pleasant!

Yesterday we rolled into our drive and it was gorgeous!! Sunny and warm. Eddy grabbed the lawnmower and while he mowed, I put in the laundry and started supper.

Today…my goodness…it’s raining. So I guess I’ll write my words this morning and then go clean the camper!
