Time for a Tea Party!

Thank you for joining us today on Cozy Mystery Magazine. Please let me pour you a nice cup of tea before we chat. Milk? Sugars?

Do help yourself to savories.

Our authors are launching books right and left for your reading pleasure. These authors are amazing and entertain thousands of cozy mystery lovers just like you! (And me!)

In only a few weeks we are launching our second edition of "A Cup of Cozy." Here's the cover reveal. We've added more original stories, holiday menus and recipes that we think you'll enjoy.

More tea?

Now that we've finished with our savories I believe it's time for the sweets. This dessert tier looks nice. Please enjoy!

I hope you've enjoyed our time together this afternoon. And I hope you'll get a copy of "A Cup of Cozy 2" when it launches. Have a wonderful week, dear readers.

Cheers!

TIME FOR A TEA PARTY!

I say ladies and gentlemen, let's pause and have a cup of tea. Let me pour you a lovely cup of Earl Gray. Milk? (I pour your tea.) Sugar? (I take three lumps, thank you!) Please help yourself to some finger sandwiches, a scone or two with some strawberry jam and Devonshire cream. And try one of the delectable lemon tarts. Aren't they amazing?
By the way, I hope you read C.L. Ragsdale's first chapter of "Chasing Lady Midnight" in yesterday's post. I certainly enjoyed it and look forward to Thursdays now when I can read the next installment. Her Roboot Series is hilarious and "Chasing Lady Midnight" promises more of the same.

For dessert, we have slices of Godiva Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory.  Simply divine! Now, let's sit back and enjoy our tea in this cozy wintry weather. Thanks for joining us here on Cozy Mystery Magazine. Have a lovely three-day weekend, dear friends. Cheers!

See you in my books!
