So here’s the thing—I’ve been writing stories for readers like you for a while now, and I’ve gotta say, there’s something magical about cozy mysteries. They’re the literary equivalent of curling up with tea and a blanket, you know? There’s a puzzle to solve, characters you actually care about, and that satisfying aha! moment when everything clicks into place.

I’ve been pouring my heart into some cozy mystery series, and honestly, they’re ready for you. If you’ve been looking for that perfect escape—the kind of mystery that keeps you guessing but doesn’t give you nightmares—I think you might really enjoy them.

You can grab them on Amazon anytime. They’re there waiting, whether you’re an e-reader person, audiobook devotee, or you still love the feeling of physical pages (no judgment—I get it).

I genuinely believe in these stories. The characters feel real to me, the mysteries are genuinely puzzling, and every book has that cozy-but-compelling vibe that makes you lose track of time. The kind where you tell yourself “just one more chapter” at 11 PM and suddenly it’s 1 AM.

If this sounds like your jam, I’d love for you to read them. And if you do? I’d be so grateful for a review on Amazon. Seriously—those reviews mean the world to indie authors like me, and they help other readers find stories they’ll love too.

Happy reading! 📚

A DASH OF MURDER

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF…

You’re a reader who enjoys mystery with intelligence, elegance, and teeth.

You like stories where the danger isn’t loud but deliberate. Where success hides rot. Where the past doesn’t stay buried just because someone polished their image. You’re drawn to characters who are accomplished, flawed, and quietly unraveling under pressure.

You appreciate rich, sensory writing. You notice the details. The atmosphere matters to you as much as the twist. You don’t want a cozy puzzle or a frantic chase. You want a slow tightening. A psychological game where every choice leaves a mark.

You watch prestige dramas. You enjoy dark humor that cuts close to the bone. You’re fascinated by ambition, control, and the moment perfection finally cracks.

You don’t need to be shocked to be unsettled. You want to be absorbed.

A Dash of Murder was written for readers who like their mysteries sophisticated, morally tense, and dangerously immersive. For those who enjoy peeling back the illusion of success and discovering what it costs to maintain it.

If you like your suspense smart, your characters complex, and your stories served with elegance and menace…

Meet Patti – Your Friendly Neighborhood Storyteller

Hey there! Let me introduce you to Patti, who’s basically living the dream – writing stories all day in her pajamas while sipping chocolate milk and munching on cereal.

Patti’s the creative force behind the upcoming animated TV series “ELLIOT FINDS A HOME,” about a Sheltie with opposable thumbs and his boy with Autism. She’s been incredibly lucky with her writing – she made the USA TODAY bestseller list, International Bestselling Author and has hit #1 bestseller in seven different genres multiple times.

With over 200 books in print, she writes Culinary Cozy mysteries, sweet Hallmark-y romance and Halloween themed stories. Her life’s been pretty wild too.

She was on “Romper Room” at 4, hung out with Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans, met Bozo the Clown, shared a train sandwich with Sidney Poitier, high-fived President Nixon at the circus, went to school with David Copperfield, roller-skated with young John Travolta, and had cocoa with Abe Vigoda.

Then there was Uncle Floyd – quite the character who always kept things interesting!

When Patti’s not writing (still in those pajamas), she’s enjoying retirement, being a grandma, watching Scooby Doo, and sharing her home with two little pups who are clearly plotting world domination. On particularly challenging writing days, she trades the chocolate milk for a glass or two of Chocovine.

As a Wiccan High Priestess and the “Queen of Halloween,” she brews up spooky stories that readers can’t get enough of. So come hang out in Patti’s world – where the stories are great, the pajamas are comfy, and there’s always room for one more friend!
