Tiffany Kedrowski blogs for
The Paws and Claws Mysteries
by Krista Davis
Every year my grandmother chooses some horrible place for our family to celebrate Christmas. Seriously. Imagine the shabbiest motel with dusty tinsel on the registration desk. My mom wants to stay home, and I totally agree with her. But we're not that lucky. This year we're going to the Sugar Maple Inn on Wagtail Mountain. From what I gather, Wagtail and the inn might be a cut above our usual destinations. But there's a problem.
We're gathering in Wagtail to celebrate the engagement of my cousin Norma Jeanne to some guy from Wagtail. The big meeting of the families. Ugh. Norma Jeanne is the pretty one. The one who wears stylish clothes and spends hours getting dressed. As long as I can remember, my mother has been after me to be more like Norma Jeanne. But I'm not interested in being a fashionista!
Since the moment Norma Jeanne announced her engagement, my mother has had wedding fever. Can you imagine anything worse? I know what I'm in for this Christmas. It will be a nightmare!
So here's what I'm thinking. I'll invite the guy I've been dating! Mom won't be able to criticize my lack of a boyfriend if one shows up for the holidays. Right? What do you think? Do I invite him to come to Wagtail and spend Christmas with us? Or is that a bad idea? For once, I might just steal the show!
NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING is coming in one week! Look for it on November 7th. To celebrate, Krista is giving away TWO copies. Leave a comment with your email address to enter. Good luck!

thanks for the chance to win, I would enjoy this book. [email protected]
ReplyDeleteWould love to read this! Have added it to my TBR list. brichardson0056(at)yahoo(dot)com.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! I can't wait to read it! I would bring the boyfriend! zabloudil10 @ yahoo .com Thank you for this opportunity
ReplyDeleteI'm the black sheep of my family, the underachiever. I think I'm the only one of my direct cousins that does NOT have a college degree or a great career. So I learned to just smile and go my own way.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to enjoy this book and I hope I can find it in one of the two county libraries I have access to. Of course winning a copy to add to my home library would be so much better. LOL

Bring the boyfriend and enjoy yourself. Thanks for this lovely giveaway. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI think Tiffany needs an attitude adjustment, and Wagtail might be just the place to do it (as long as she doesn't try to upstage her cousin!) I think the cover of Not a Creature Was Purring is one of my favorite covers ever! [email protected]
ReplyDeleteIt's a good test to see if the guy you've been dating is serious about you. If he can handle a wedding fevered mom AND Christmas, he's a special guy. Thanks for the giveaway! aut1063(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteSounds great. I would bring the boyfriend. Have fun. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteIt's not right that she would think of using someone like that. In fact, it is mean spirited. Doesn't say much for her. There is a lot nicer, better way to handle her Mom without acting like a 2 yr old. Such as acting like an adult by sitting down with her Mom & having a nice little chat. I would be most interested in seeing what happens. Della at deepotter (at) peoplepc (dot) com
ReplyDeleteHmmm...One-upmanship usually backfires!

I say go for it Tiffany. Invite your boyfriend & glow in his being there to offset some of the tedium & dusty holiday spirit you'll be enduring! I'd love to win a copy of Not A Creature Was Purring even though I've pre-ordered it. I would give a copy to a friend to introduce her to Krista Davis.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this book. Sounds like it will be a great read. nettiem(at)toledotel(dot)com.
ReplyDeleteInvite him and let the cards fall where the may. Just warn him so he can be prepared.

I can relate to this whole situation!!! (insert laughing crying emojis!!) Would love a chance to win and read this book!! AKJ3765(AT)gmail(DOT)com
ReplyDeleteThis is not going well. I deleted my own comment! What it said was that I am a sucker for a book with animal on the cover. Your book pictured above has TWO animals. That makes it a double must read.

Bring the Boyfriend and have a good time.

I really want to live in Wagtail (or at least a town like it).

I sure do love this series! bobwiesmann (AT) gmail (DOT) com
ReplyDeleteI love holiday themed books, and since Christmas is my favorite, I want to read this one. Love your books.
ReplyDeleteMom would probably start asking him when he was going to propose to you. I don't think it would be worth the aggravation. At least not in my family. I'd rather not go through that.
