Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friendly readers!

Finally the contract is signed and I can officially announce that there will be two more books in the Key West food critic series! I’ve been busy writing number 16. We now have a cover for #15, The Mango Murders—I love it, and of course it can be preordered (coming August 12th). You can also read a snippet of that book HERE.

At home in Key West, we’re in the thick of the Friends of the Key West Library’s high season. Ann Cleeves’s visit and our celebratory gala and murder mystery tea were divine—it will be hard to top these events! Ann Cleeves was as lovely and gracious as we could have hoped—I recommend you read all of her series!

But I will try with this elegant chocolate cake with pomegranate glaze for Valentine’s Day or any special event.

Finally, along with a group of my writer pals, my books are included in a dead of winter giveaway: Find that here.

Thank you for reading! I consider each one of you my Valentine.

Lucy
