Only the Good Die Young

Cindy Davis is back with more adventures of Bliss in that bucolic Texas Hill Country town, Magnolia Bluff.

Today is launch day for

Book 12 in the multi-author Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series.

Bliss

Quite frankly, Bliss is one of my favorite characters in the world of Magnolia Bluff, Texas.

She’s a snarky and fun-loving person who will die for pizza and swoons over peanut butter. But most of all, she especially loves being free and independent. A rolling stone with no responsibilities.

Only the Good Die Young

In Only the Good Die Young, Bliss is once again back in Magnolia Bluff. Only this time she’s in town willingly — houseboat-sitting for her friend, Olivia, and helping the Doyle family celebrate Easter.

And what a celebration it is: piles of good food, and great music from the popular local band Loco-Motion.

Everything is going along just great until the lead singer picks up her favorite guitar, touches the strings, and turns into a living — and soon dead — fireworks display.

Now that Nina Warren is dead, and the logical suspect pool is Bliss’s favorite family, the Doyles, she wants to be involved in the investigation.

Of course Chief of Police Tommy Jager doesn’t want Bliss’s help.

And of course, Bliss and her friends ignore Tommy and begin poking around in the life of the late singer.

I don’t want to give away the storyline. That would spoil the mystery.

Cindy Davis’s Best

Instead, let me say that with Bliss and her adventures, Cindy Davis has hit the ball out of the park.

These are fabulously entertaining cozy mysteries. Just plain old good clean fun. With a healthy dollop of the paranormal thrown in that really spices things up.

Ms. Davis has a knack for making the paranormal seem so very normal. And she does so with a deft hand. The Bliss books are clearly Cindy Davis at her best.

You will definitely want to get in on the action, the laughs, the fun, the pizza, and especially the noggin-scratchin’ puzzler of a mystery.

Who wanted Nina Warren dead, and why? Count on Bliss to find out and end up dying for her efforts. Well, almost. Maybe.

I love the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series. Eleven writers producing some of the best mysteries and thrillers for your entertainment.

And I especially love Bliss. I think you will too.

Only the Good Die Young by Cindy Davis. On sale right now — on Amazon.

Interview with Harry Thurgood

Today, I have the honor to be talking with Harry Thurgood, Magnolia Bluff’s Man of Mystery. He’s the owner of the Really Good Wood-Fired Coffee Shop, in beautiful Magnolia Bluff, Texas.

So, without further ado, let’s get started.

CW: Welcome, Harry. Glad you can be with me here today on the blog.

HT: My pleasure, CW. Thanks for having me. Everyone likes free advertising.

CW: That they do. To start, just what, exactly, is wood-fired coffee?

HT: (chuckles) It’s how coffee used to be roasted, back in the 1800s. Before the invention of the gas-fired roaster.

CW: That’s it?

HT: That’s it. Of course, the type of wood used, how hot you get the fire, length of roasting time — all that has a part in the finished product.

CW: Thanks for clarifying that.

HT: I thought you would have known, being the creator—

CW: (I hold up my hand to cut him off.) No. I’m not the creator. I’m simply the amanuensis recording what happens. You, Ember, Reece, Scarlett, Mary Lou, and all the others, you all are telling the story.

HT: Amanuensis, eh? (Shrugs) Okay. Thanks for letting me know.

CW: You guys are the storytellers.

HT: (laughs) Okay.

CW: There are nine books chronicling the lives of the people in Magnolia Bluff, along with some unfortunate murders that take place. You show up in most of these books, so I’d like to find out more about you.

HT: Okay. Go ahead and ask. I’m not an open book. Man of Mystery, you know. But the covers open far enough so you can riffle the pages.

CW: All right, then. You want to keep your past in the past. (Harry nods.) Can you tell me why you decided to move to Magnolia Bluff?

HT: I was looking for a place far away from where I was, that was relatively quiet, and where I could just blend in.

CW: It doesn’t seem like you quite succeeded in doing that.

HT: Not quite. But I don’t regret moving to the town. That is where I met the love of my life.

CW: You’re referring to the Reverend Ember Cole.

HT: I am.

CW: How did you two meet?

HT: We both moved to Magnolia Bluff about the same time. I, to start my new life. She, to pastor the Methodist Church. One day, not long after I opened the coffee shop, in she walks. I thought the silent film star Louise Brooks had come back to life. And to my mind, Louise was the perfect It Girl.

CW: Swept you off your feet, in other words.

HT: She did. And just like Louise, she has “It”. But she also has so much more. She’s warm and caring, so very giving, funny.

CW: She’s the one.

HT: That she is.

CW: So now that you’ve found the love of your life, what’s next?

HT: I’d love for her to marry me. Are you sure you’re just the amanuensis?

CW: Very sure.

HT: Well, I’d love to marry Ember and just settle down to a very comfortable and quiet existence. But our town seems to be plagued with murders and that disrupts the tranquility. Makes life more complex than it needs to be.

CW: Reece Sovern and Mary Lou Fight, especially Mary Lou, seem to thrive on the excitement.

HT: Mary Lou definitely. Reece is just doing his job. I think he’d rather have nothing but boring days until he retires. Mary Lou, though, I think really needs to get a life.

CW: She probably thinks she has one.

HT: Probably does at that.

CW: Do you have any hobbies? Or things you are especially passionate about?

HT: I’m not an artist, but I appreciate fine art. It has the capacity to transport the soul to a better place than the here and now. And even though I’m not a musician, I enjoy fine music. Because it too has the ability to enrich the soul. As for hobbies, I’m not a sportsman. Although I do enjoy target shooting and the game of chess. Just the other night, I battled Capablanca. Lost, of course.

CW: I take it that was in a book.

HT: (smiling) Yes, his match with Lasker for World Champion. Although, with computers nowadays, you can play the greats.

CW: Very true. We’ll have to play a game or two sometime.

HT: The internet is a wonderful invention.

CW: That it is. Do you have a favorite artist or composer?

HT: I love the paintings of Albert Bierstadt and Grant Wood. And I think the music of Arthur Foote and Sir Granville Bantock is just divine.

CW: I like those artists and composers as well. Such beauty.

HT: You sure you’re just the amanuensis?

CW: Yep. Aside from Ember, do you have any friends in Magnolia Bluff?

HT: I wouldn’t say I have any close friends in town. I do like Scarlett Hayden. She has an “I don’t care” attitude that I like. And I think she’s a very caring person at heart. And if it wasn’t for Ember, I think she and I might have eventually gotten together. I also like Graham Huston. He’s well read, pensive, and, like me, is trying to leave his past in the past. Elder Smythe and his wife are very nice people. I admire their simple lifestyle. And quite honestly, I like Reece Sovern. He’s a good man. Honorable.

CW: What’s the one thing you like most about living in Magnolia Bluff?

HT: It is a pretty little town in the middle of a gorgeous part of Texas. And I love the fact that it is quiet and peaceful. At least most days.

CW: Sounds like a great place to live.

HT: It is. Just keep looking behind you. (Gives me a questioning look.) Amanuensis, you say?

CW: I do. Thanks for talking with me today, Harry.

HT: My pleasure, CW.

And you can get in on all the Magnolia Bluff action by visiting the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series page on Amazon. Nine books for your reading pleasure, and Book 10 comes out next week.

A Dewey Decimal Dilemma

Linda Pirtle began writing mystery novels on a dare. And it’s a good thing for mystery readers that she took that dare.

And it’s a good thing she’s part of the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series.

A Dewey Decimal Dilemma is Book 7 in the series — and it’s another winner. It’s on pre-order at Amazon.

I don’t know what it is about this series, but each of the authors has given us a book that is at the top of his or her game.

Don’t get me wrong: all of the writers in the series are top drawer. But there is something about the dynamic in this project that has brought out the best of the best. The synergy of working together has produced stellar results.

And A Dewey Decimal Dilemma is no exception.

I’m putting this down on the table: I don’t care overly much for the current-day cozy mystery. Generally speaking, there’s too much ChickLit in the books for my liking. And I find the world of ChickLit about as inviting as being stranded at the South Pole without boots or parka.

But in A Dewey Decimal Dilemma Linda Pirtle has given us a cozy mystery that is contemporary, yet harkens back to the Golden Age of the murder mystery.

To my mind, Mrs. Pirtle has given us an amateur sleuth mystery that is as enjoyable for men as it is for women, even though the sleuth is female — and that is quite an accomplishment.

The main character, our sleuth, is Caroline McCluskey. A widow, she’s the head librarian of Magnolia Bluff’s library. There’s a bit of romance in the story, but it isn’t cloying. Nor is there an unnecessary preoccupation with her job.

Instead, we see Caroline as a person who gets tangled up in a murder investigation. She is someone not unlike ourselves.

The storyline focuses on the murder and it does so in classic fashion. Giving us a twisting, turning viper of a story.

The writing itself is taut. Nothing frilly, flowery, or extraneous; yet, we also get a picture of Magnolia Bluff and the people who live there that is both colorful and that reveals new dimensions about some of them. What I like to call value-added writing.

A Dewey Decimal Dilemma sits squarely in the tradition of the mystery genre’s Golden Age. Yet, it is a contemporary story with a modern woman as the sleuth. And all the while Mrs. Pirtle avoids the billowing methane vapors of ChickLit, so a guy can enjoy the story.

A Dewey Decimal Dilemma launches October 20th. Don’t miss this one. It’s a winner. And you can pre-order it on Amazon.

Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles Update, Part 1

As of 20 September, 6 books have dropped in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series.

A project of The Underground Authors, the series is collective endeavor designed to bring readers everywhere top-drawer fiction with high entertainment value.

So how do 9 authors pull off a crime fiction series? Well, I’m glad you asked. They started with a unifying concept: the fictional town of Magnolia Bluff, Texas.

Then each writer introduced a set of characters and the places they hang out. These characters and their hangouts are available to the other writers to use in their books, as well.

So what about the books? In this post and the next, I want to share reviews by readers that will hopefully inspire you to take the plunge and plan a vicarious vacation to Magnolia Bluff.

All of the books can be found on Amazon.

Death Wears a Crimson Hat

CW Hawes kicked off the series with Death Wears a Crimson Hat. Below is a wonderful review by Joe Congel, who is the author of the exceptional Tony Razzolito mysteries.

I have read and enjoyed several books by CW Hawes. When I heard about the new Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series, I couldn’t wait to dig in. This is a multi-author series where each book will be penned by a different member of the Underground Authors, with Hawes at the helm for the first book in the series.

Being the first also means the author had the weight on his shoulders of establishing the small town of Magnolia Bluff, Texas as the backdrop for all the books to come. Not an easy task with so many different authors, each gifted with their own unique style of writing. But Hawes pulls it off flawlessly. We are introduced to the uniqueness of small-town living which can be both comforting and sometimes difficult. Especially if you are not home-grown or native to the town, making it hard at times to be accepted. Such is the case for Harry Thurgood and the Reverend Ember Cole. Both are fairly new to Magnolia Bluff, and both have a past they’d rather not have dredged up by any of the locals. And both find themselves being accused of murder.

As a fan of mysteries, I love a solid storyline that keeps the reader guessing until the end. And because of that, I will not provide a recap of the story other than to say that there is murder and mayhem and enough possible suspects to muddy the waters for the detective trying to solve the crime. Throw in a colorful cast of local characters who are involved in backstabbing, sordid love affairs, and a closeness that can only be found in a town small enough where everyone knows everyone else’s business, and you have the ingredients for the perfect murder mystery. One has to read and savor this whodunit as it unfolds within the pages to really appreciate the underlying complexity of this small town and its residents. The author has made sure to pepper us with enough clues and red herrings throughout, making this a very entertaining read.

Hawes is a wonderful writer who knows how to draw the reader into a story. And The Underground Authors are a group of extremely talented writers who trusted CW Hawes with the first book to kick off this series. That alone speaks volumes as to the talent of Hawes as a wordsmith worthy of providing a top-notch mystery to open what will undoubtedly be a top-notch crime series.

Eulogy in Black and White

I very much like the fiction of Caleb Pirtle III. He is a skilled and talented writer. His words are magic. He tells a story in such a way as to draw you into it so that you are in another place and time.

Here is my review of his contribution to the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles.

Eulogy in Black and White is a murder mystery that only the inimitable Caleb Pirtle III could write.

I’ve been a fan of Mr. Pirtle’s fiction for some time now. And he knows how to uncork one heck of a powerful novel. And this is a powerful novel.

His characters are people you’d swear you’ve met before. He paints the most atmospheric word pictures. If Albert Bierstadt had traded in his paintbrush for a pen, he’d be Caleb Pirtle.

Set in Magnolia Bluff, Texas, Eulogy in Black and White is the story of Graham Huston, who is on a mission of personal redemption.

However, the expiation of his guilt will have to wait when his friend, perhaps his only friend, is murdered. Another victim of the infamous May 23rd killings that have plagued Magnolia Bluff for nine years.

Pirtle is a master craftsman and will keep you guessing whodunit right up to the end. And in the meantime, you’ll learn a lot about the meaning of life and death and what true friendship is.

The Great Peanut Butter Conspiracy

Cindy Davis is no stranger to the murder mystery. She’s written many of them and sold even more.

The Great Peanut Butter Conspiracy is light and breezy, filled with great dollops of humor. But there is also the suspense that gradually builds and builds until you find yourself on the edge of your chair.

And Ms. Davis handles it all with aplomb. She knows her way around a mystery.

Below is Joe Congel’s wonderful review:

This is my third trip to Magnolia Bluff. And after the first two books in the series, I was eagerly awaiting book three. Author Cindy Davis shows us another side of this small Texas town that was not seen in the offerings from CW Hawes or Caleb Pirtle III. Oh sure, we still get to visit with a few familiar faces, like Harry Thurgood, owner of the Really Good Wood-Fired Coffee Shop, but the author also introduces us to some new characters that help round out the quirkiness of Magnolia Bluff. And we are treated to a bit of a paranormal spin in this cozy mystery crafted by the talented Ms. Davis.

Bliss Jager’s experience in this small town begins when her motorcycle breaks down in Magnolia Bluff. She is trying to escape her past and really only expects to be held up long enough to have her bike repaired so she can hurry along to her next destination… wherever that may be. But like most of the folks who find their way into Magnolia Bluff, she finds it difficult to find her way back out again. The parts for the repairs are going to take a couple days to come in, so what’s a girl to do? Bliss soon finds herself wrapped up in a murder mystery with enough suspects to rival the game Clue, and a ghostly partner that just happens to be the victim. Throw in a Toucan that seems to be able to communicate with her, Jimmy Buffett Lyrics that pop into her head and can only be described as somehow clairvoyant, and you have the making of a fun, page turning mystery.

Davis has a way of drawing you into the story. Her characters are people you want to get to know, and the story develops at a pace that keeps the reader interested from the first page to the last. Her writing seems effortless even though you know that a lot of thought and care went into each word written. I’ve read a couple of books by this author, and she never disappoints. I love the fact that Magnolia Bluff and The Great Peanut Butter Conspiracy is just the first stop for Bliss Jager, and I am looking forward to seeing what other mysteries she gets tangled up in along her journey.

There you have it. The first 3 books in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles, available on Amazon.

Next post we’ll take a look at Books 4 through 6. And we’ll follow that up with a look at Book 7 which is coming out in October.

There is great reading in this series. I encourage you to take a trip to Magnolia Bluff. It’s a great place to visit, rest, and relax. A beautiful place to recharge your batteries. Just watch your back while you’re there.

The High Sheriff of Magnolia Bluff

There are always people who stand out in a crowd. Or a small town for that matter.

And in Magnolia Bluff, we have quite a few who stand out. One of them is Sheriff Buck Blanton, who we first meet in Eulogy in Black and White.

Once again, I’ve borrowed Caleb Pirtle’s excellent post (with his permission, of course). You can find the original here.

Buck has one facial expression. He grins when he sees you. He grins if he is about to hit you with the hickory club that hangs from his belt.

Every small town has a law officer who’s tough, who takes no nonsense off of anybody.

But he has a good heart.

Probably not a pure soul.

But a good heart.

He’ll go out of his way to help you.

But only God can help you if you break the law.

In the Texas Hill Country town of Magnolia Bluff, that lawman is the high sheriff, Buck Blanton. Here is the scene when you meet him for the first time in Eulogy in Black and White.

Buck Blanton makes a sudden U-turn, its headlights splintered by the rain. I pull my denim jacket collar tighter around my throat and watch him ease slowly to the curb beside me and stop. The only sounds Magnolia Bluff can manage at four minutes past eight on a soggy morning are distant rumbles of thunder and Buck’s windshield wipers slapping back and forth in a lackadaisical effort to shove the spatter of raindrops aside.

The sheriff rolls down his window and pushes his blue-tinted Shady Rays sunglasses up above his thickening gray eyebrows. Buck fits the job description of a country sheriff perfectly. Sunglasses, rain or shine. A thick neck. Broad shoulders. Barrel chest. Sagging jowls. Broad nose, probably broken more than once. Hands big enough to grab a grown man by the throat, jerk him off the floor, and shake him into submission. A gray felt Stetson hat lies in the seat beside him. I can’t see his feet, but I know he’s wearing his full quill Justin cowboy boots as black as his skin. Wouldn’t be caught dead without them. Says he was born in them. Says he will die in them. I don’t doubt it for a minute.

“On your way up to see Freddy?” He asks, glancing at the flowers in my hand. The rain has beaten them up pretty good. His voice is deep and mellow, a full octave lower than the thunder.

I nod.

Buck has one facial expression. He grins when he sees you. He grins if he is about to hit you with the hickory club that hangs from his belt. He grins if he’s praying over your lost soul at the First Baptist Church. He’s grinning when he throws you in jail. He’s grinning if he has to shoot you first. I suspect he grins in his sleep.

“Need a lift?”

I shake my head.

“It’s a bad day for walking,” he says. “You still got a mile or so to go before you reach Freddy.”

I shrug. “It’s fine,” I say. “I’m already wet.”

Buck opens the car door. “Get in before I arrest your sorry ass,” he says.

I look closely.

His grin has reached his eyes.

I climb into the front passenger seat. “Hate to mess up your upholstery,” I tell him.

“Don’t matter.” The sheriff wheels back down an empty street. “I’ll have a couple of drunks in here before the day’s out, and they’ll be a damn sight wetter than you are.” He leans forward and studies the rolling black clouds closing in from the west end of Burnet Reservoir. “That’s the trouble with the weather,” Buck says. “It rains on the just and the unjust alike.”

“Sound like a preacher,” I say.

“Tried it once.” Buck shrugs. “Didn’t like it. Found it’s easier to drag the bad guys to jail than drag them to the altar.”

You can find Eulogy in Black and White on Amazon. And you’ll be glad you did.

Peanut Butter and a Heartbreaker

The Great Peanut Butter Conspiracy

Yesterday Cindy Davis’s The Great Peanut Butter Conspiracy dropped. It’s Book 3 in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series, and it’s a winner. Pick up your copy today on Amazon.

The People of Magnolia Bluff

Magnolia Bluff, like any town, is filled with people; each one involved in his or her own drama, which may or may not touch the larger drama of the town itself.

Today, with the kind permission of Caleb Pirtle III, we’re going to look at the heartbreaker of Magnolia Bluff.

Rebecca’s one of my favorite characters. You can read Caleb’s original post here.

Meet the Heartbreaker of Magnolia Bluff

I’m not sure my heart made the trip back from Afghanistan when I did. I’d at least appreciate Rebecca looking for it. —Graham Huston

The writer sees the story vividly in his or her own mind. It plays like a movie. Maybe it’s more like an old-fashioned newsreel.

The writer sees it so clearly. That’s not enough. Now the writer has to transform the story and the characters into the heads of readers.

The writer becomes the camera.

That is always my personal concern.

Can I make sure the readers see my characters as clearly as I do? If not, all I have given them are stick figures.

And that’s the death knell of any book.

In my newest mystery, Eulogy in Black and White, my hero, Graham Huston, is stricken by the lovely Rebecca Wilson. I describe her this way:

She’s tall. She’s a brunette. She could have walked in from the cover of some magazine, wearing a deep blue dress that looks like silk or satin. Rebecca was probably a cheerleader and quite possibly the Homecoming Queen a few years back. She was definitely a heartbreaker but stayed around while most of her classmates left town for college or better-paying jobs, and then she looked up one morning and realized there were no hearts left in Magnolia Bluff to break. I’d be willing to let her break mine, but I’m not sure my heart made the trip back from Afghanistan when I did. I’d at least appreciate Rebecca looking for it, but what would either one of us do if she found it? She wouldn’t want it, and I’d just throw it away again.

Rebecca is the receptionist, the society editor, and the head of advertising sales. Want your daughter’s wedding picture on the front page? Buy an ad. Want a photograph of your grandchild’s graduation tucked prominently in the newspaper and above the fold? Buy an ad. Want Rebecca to throw away the cell phone shots of you dancing naked at a biker’s bar in Austin? Buy an ad. Rebecca Wilson is a top-of-the-line saleslady. She makes more money than the publisher and deserves every cent she can stuff into the bank. She knows who’s having a shotgun wedding, who’s getting divorced, who’s involved in which extracurricular activity at the high school, which preacher has given up booze for smack, who’s pregnant, and who the real father is.

Rebecca winks, and her smile can light up a dismal room. She’s not flirting. It’s her way of saying hello without breaking the cold, deadly, morning silence of a newspaper office that has all the personality of a funeral parlor.

She’s broken more than one heart.

Will Graham Huston’s heart be next?

Pick up a copy of Eulogy in Black and White on Amazon to find out.

You’ll be glad you did.

Now you’ve met Rebecca. You can meet more fascinating people who call Magnolia Bluff home, right here.

The Great Peanut Butter Conspiracy

On a hot and sunny day in June, Bliss finds herself with a broken down motorcycle on the outskirts of Magnolia Bluff, Texas.

Lucky for her, Ciara Doyle and her repair shop are right there, mere feet away from where the cycle gasped its last breath. And Ciara is more than willing to fix the motorbike. Only it won’t be today.

Which means Bliss is stuck in Magnolia Bluff. Is that so bad? Small Texas town. Persimmon Festival in progress. Pizza for life, just for being a good Samaritan. Friendly people. Of course not. It should be a very pleasant few days and then Bliss can be on her way to wherever.

Well, it isn’t so bad until Bliss involves herself in a hunt for a murderer — at the request of a ghost.

From that point on, Magnolia Bluff ain’t such a quaint town. Not when someone resents Bliss’s poking around.

Will Bliss survive the attempts on her life and trap a killer?

Find out next week. The Great Peanut Butter Conspiracy by Cindy Davis (Book 3 in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles) is on pre-order. For only 99¢ you can reserve your copy on Amazon. And the book goes on general sale, June 20th.

Let me tell you, it is one heck of a super read.
