A Little Cozy Help!
By Tonya Kappes
I have to admit that this is my favorite time of the year! I live in Kentucky where we have all the seasonal changes. There is nothing like the chill of a crisp night coming off a spectacular sunny day when fall rolls around my old Kentucky home.
The smell of chili cooking all day in the crock-pot while I’m in my happy place creating the fictional worlds I write about is and will always be one of my fondest writing memories.
I’m a true southern. I decorate my house with the seasons, but fall and Halloween happen to be my favorite. And it’s come at a perfect time!
I’m settling in to write book five and book six of the GHOSTLY SOUTHERN MYSTERY SERIES and I’m going to need your help! Even though the series is based around a ghost haunting, Emma Lee Raines, the undertaker of Eternal Slumber and this time of year gives me great inspiration to write all things mystery. . .I’m going to need your help!
But here is where I need y’all. I’m currently working on the next two books. Of course there is a lot of southern charm, quirky characters and humor you find in a Kappes novel, but there is also murders! All I want to know is what was ONE thing someone else had in high school that you wanted?
If I pick your answer, I’ll put your name in the acknowledgements of the novel!
You can leave your answer here in the comment section or email me your answer to tonyak11.tk@gmail.com.

A GHOSTLY DEMISE

On Sale August 25, 2015
From
former self-published superstar and USA
Today bestseller Tonya Kappes comes the third hilarious Ghostly Southern
Mystery novel featuring Emma Lee Raines, a funeral home director who can
suddenly see dead people.
The prodigal father returns-but this ghost
is no holy spirit.
When she runs into her friend’s deadbeat dad at the local deli, undertaker Emma Lee Raines can’t wait to tell Mary Anna Hardy that he’s back in Sleepy Hollow, Kentucky, after five long years. Cephus Hardy may have been the town drunk, but he didn’t disappear on an epic bender like everyone thought: He was murdered. And he’s heard that Emma Lee’s been helping lost souls move on to that great big party in the sky.
Why do ghosts always bother Emma Lee at the worst times? Her granny’s mayoral campaign is in high gear, a carnival is taking over the Town Square, and her hunky boyfriend, Sheriff Jack Henry Ross, is stuck wrestling runaway goats. Besides, Cephus has no clue whodunit… unless it was one of Mrs. Hardy’s not-so-secret admirers. All roads lead Emma Lee to that carnival-and a killer who isn’t clowning around.

Today bestseller Tonya Kappes comes the fourth hilarious Ghostly Southern
Mystery novel featuring Emma Lee Raines, a funeral home director who can

Emma Lee Raines knows there’s only one
cure for a bad case of murder.
I told you I was sick, reads the headstone above Mamie Sue Preston’s grave. She was the richest woman in Sleepy Hollow, Kentucky, and also the biggest hypochondriac. Ironic, considering someone killed her-and covered it up perfectly. And how does Emma Lee Raines, proprietor of the Eternal Slumber Funeral Home, know all this? Because Mamie Sue’s ghost told her, that’s how. And she’s offering big bucks to find the perp.
The catch is, Mamie Sue was buried by the Raines family’s archrival, Burns Funeral Home. Would the Burnses stoop to framing Emma Lee’s granny? With an enterprising maid, a penny-pinching pastor, and a slimy Lexington lawyer all making a killing off Mamie Sue’s estate, Emma Lee needs a teammate-like her dreamboat boyfriend, Sheriff Jack Henry Ross. Because with millions at stake, snooping around is definitely bad for Emma Lee’s health.

When I was in high school the one thing I wanted was to have a boyfriend and his lettermen's jacket. robeader53@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteBoots, everyone had really cool boots but my legs were toothpicks so every pair I tried on looked horrible. Mind you skinny legs is not something I would complain about now, LOL.

Either book would be nice, I'm playing catch up right now...I would like to know how I keep getting behind on my favorite series??? LOL
Was for my family to have a nice car. When I learned to drive, I had to drive out old station wagon or my Dad's old Truck. Nice clothes would have been nice too. I usually had hand me downs.Thanks for this opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who owned a Cashmere Sweater and I would have done anything to have one. It only took me about 40 years to finally get one.

ReplyDeleteMy friend had her ears pierced. I wanted to do this too, but my mother said no way.
ReplyDeleteA GHOSTLY MURDER sounds like fun thanks.
