Character: Savannah Webb
Series: Webb’s Glass Shop Mysteries
Author: Cheryl Hollon
Hi there, I’m Savannah Webb, owner of Webb’s Glass Shop on Central Avenue in St. Petersburg, Florida. I'm so excited that the Chihuly Collection has completed their move to a location that is seven blocks closer to my shop.
The public is invited to join the celebration at the Chihuly Collection's new location at 720 Central Avenue in downtown St. Pete. The festivities will kick-off with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:30 a.m. at the front of the building with the doors opening to the collection immediately after. Additionally, all are invited to join the fun at the neighborhood Block Party happening between the new building and the Morean Arts Center on the 700 Block of Central Avenue.
I'm planning to let the hoopla die down before I visit the new space next week. I'm anxious to see how those magnificent pieces are displayed in their new home. When you get a chance, come to St. Petersburg to see the new Chihuly Collection.
You can read more about Savannah in Cracked to Death, the third book in the Webb’s Glass Shop Mysteries, published by Kensington Books. Available at your favorite book vendor.
About Cracked to Death:
When a treasure hunt leads to deadly plunder, it’s up to glass shop owner Savannah Webb and her trusty investigative posse to map out the true motives of a killer . . .
It's the dog days of summer in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Webb's Glass Shop proprietor Savannah Webb has an eco-friendly plan to help locals escape the heat--a recyclable bottle-crafting workshop taught by reticent store manager Amanda Blake. Turns out, the class is a bigger smash than expected, thanks in part to a pair of staggeringly old bottles brought in by snorkeler Martin Lane . . .
Linked to a storied pirate shipwreck, the relics definitely pique Savannah's interest. But intrigue turns to shock when Martin's lifeless body washes ashore the next morning, another glass artifact tucked in his dive bag. With cell phone records connecting Amanda to the drowning, Savannah must voyage through uncharted territory to exonerate her colleague and capture the twisted criminal behind Martin's death . . .

I love Dale Chihuly and his works. One of my favorites is the ceiling at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas and also an installation he had at the Dallas Arboretum. Glass working has always fascinated me, and I like the idea of the repurposed beer bottle! Please sign me up! [email protected]
