It's hot and the kids are off from school, so it's a short letter this month. ("More popsicles, Mommy!")

Today, we've got:

1) A new post on the blog about my favorite puzzle (outside of a good mystery). Do you enjoy working puzzles? Specifically, do you Sudoku?

2) A blog interview with my fellow cozy author Sandi Scott. She's got two different series, both of which feature pets. She's participating in the boxed set special I told you about last month, and she's got some great insider info and fun facts.

3) Four free mysteries from Sandi.

Enjoy!

When my daughter encouraged me to try playing with numbers for fun, I gave her a hard side-eye. 

But then I realized there was more to the story...

Here’s a tasty treat for you!
You may recall last month's featured deal on a boxed set of brand-new contemporary cozies, the Summer Snoops and Cozy Crimes collection. Well, I managed to snag an exclusive interview with author Sandi Scott, one of the contributors! She’s giving us a behind-the-scenes look at how bestselling authors create a collection, and why this particular boxed set means so much to her.
