About

I'm currently at work on two cozy mystery series. One is a cake decorating mystery, and the first book is called Murder Takes the Cake. The other is an embroidery mystery series (the first book is titled The Quick and The Thread) and is being written under the pseudonym Amanda Lee.

Description

<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

Reviews

<p>&quot;<em>Thread Reckoning</em> is an entertaining read, with just the right mix of mystery and romance to make fans of cozy mysteries eager for the next book in the series.&quot; - Reviewed by <strong>Susan Santangelo</strong>, author of &quot;Moving Can Be Murder&quot; for <em><strong>Suspense Magazine</strong></em> <br /><br />&quot;This charming cozy contains a difficult to solve homicide because no one seems to have a viable motive.  Readers will enjoy Amanda Lee's likable whodunit.&quot; - <strong>Harriet Klausner</strong> <br /><br /></p>
