At the Corner of Magnetic and Main

Meg Dendler, of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, has written a charming book, At the Corner of Magnetic and Main, that doesn't really fit the description of a cozy mystery, but is Southern in setting and has such a mysterious mood that it deserves recognition. Eureka Springs has its share of ghost stories, but Meg's book introduces us to a few more, making it possible to willingly suspend our disbelief and become engaged with the characters. We might even find ourselves questioning why these entities become stuck and can't seem to move on to the next level. By the way, the main character is totally believable and rather unforgettable, as well.

Meg is the author of the a award winning Cats in the Mirror series, written for middle grade readers. Her new book, At the Corner of Magnetic and Main, will appeal to a broad audience. If you missed my interview with Meg, you can listen to it any time on The Ozark Radio Hour. You'll be glad you did!

Her books are available on Amazon and from her website.

I hope you enjoy my new Blog. It's not limited to Southern cozy mysteries or to Southern writers, but I hope to help create a little buzz about authors working in this genre. I know many of you enjoyed the writing of the late Anne George of Birmingham, Alabama. I sure do miss her fun stories and unforgetable Southern sisters. How about recommending some of your favorite authors in the comments section or start a discussion about what makes the South such fertile ground for suspense.

Speaking of fertile ground, my new mystery is being considered for a contract with Kindle Scout. I would appreciate your nomination. I'll make another announcement soon about a special price on Dr. Emily's first adventure, Murder at Canterbury Faire. If you haven't read it, it will go on sale next week for the special price of $0.99 for a limited time. In the meantime, you can read a short selection of the new book, Deadly Seance: A Dr. Emily Goldman Mystery at the link posted. Thank you for your continued support!

Murder at Canterbury Faire: A Dr. Emily Goldman Mystery

When Dr. Basil Bowen, the new Chairman of the English Department at Merryvale College, is murdered during the Canterbury Faire, an annual reenactment of Chaucer’s Prologue of The Canterbury Tales; Dr. Emily Goldman, medieval scholar and popular professor on campus, helps police discover the identity of the killer and clears the name of one of her favorite students.

Set on a small campus in central Alabama, most people assume Dr. Emily lives in her own little world of academia; however, she is a modern woman, a realist when it comes to “the way of the world.” As she explains to her brilliant protégé: “Jud, there is nothing you can tell me that will shock me. You may think that I’ve led a fairly sheltered life, but remember I’m a scholar of literature and history. I know all about man’s inhumanity to man.” But even Dr. Emily is shocked when the motivation and the identity of the murderer are finally revealed.

Readers of mysteries and the classics will fall in love with Dr. Emily and her adored Scottie, Maxwell of Dumfries, better known as Max. She and Jess Thornton, a sexy Chief of Campus Police, are a formidable team.
