I'm pleased to welcome Jade Hicks to Cozy Up With Kathy today. You can find Jade on the pages of the
Mermaid Bay Christmas Shoppe Mystery series by Heather Weidner. TWINKLE TWINKLE AU REVOIR is the second book in the series and was released January 16, 2024.
Hi, y’all. I’m Jade Hicks, and I own ‘Tis the Season, a Christmas store in the beach town of Mermaid Bay, Virginia. My grandmother opened the store about thirty years ago in a converted beach cottage. Each themed room has decorations, and at last count, there are over 300 trees in the store. My spunky French bulldog Chloe comes to work with me every day. She thinks she’s head of security, but Neville the Devil Cat, the store’s chief mouser, has other ideas.
Life is great. My business is booming, and I now have a permanent Plus 1, Sheriff Nick Driscoll. We’ve been friends since middle school, but we lost touch during the college years. I’m glad we both found our way back to Mermaid Bay and to each other.
And if that’s not enough going on, guess what happened to our quiet little beach! Love is in the air when Hollywood arrives in Mermaid Bay, and the town may never be the same. Fans will do almost anything to get a glimpse of the actors or a chance to be an extra in the Love Channel’s “My Coastal Valentine.” Crowds flock to our cozy beach town from all over and business is booming. All is going well until the body of a testy reporter is found in one of the actor’s rooms. And if murder isn’t bad enough, someone tries to kill the show’s star, hunky Raphael Allard.
Mermaid Bay feels cursed, as the Love Channel threatens to pull out of the project. Along with my team, Lorelei, Peppermint Patti, Bernie, Chloe, and Neville the Devil Cat, I have to solve the crimes before it ruins the town’s reputation and breaks the hearts of fans across the country.
Neville
