Now, back to the author bio.** "Grandmother gave me a book of Agatha Christie short stories when I was just a teen, and I've been reading cozy mysteries ever since. I finally attempted to fulfill the lifelong dream of becoming a novelist after receiving an enthusiastic response from readers of my newspaper column, a lighthearted look at everyday life in the South. Without their encouragement and helpful nudging, it would never have been possible. Thank you!" Donna McLean's new cozy mystery series has been hailed by reviewers as a return to the classic whodunit that deftly captures a small town feeling reminiscent of Miss Marple's tiny village of eccentrics, friends, secrets and crimes. The American author is a direct descendant of Highland Scots who settled the Cape Fear region of North Carolina in the late 1700s. She chose this historical Southern setting as the perfect scene for her modern-day mystery novels. Filled with friendly folks and their whimsical homes, family reunions on the grounds of ancient wooden chapels, and old fashioned graciousness and hospitality, the idyllic setting leads the unsuspecting reader down a garden path that is filled with surprising twists and turns, and reflects the subtle Scot nature that still permeates life in North Carolina. Today, A Distant Murder: a sparrow falls mystery #1, Butler Did It: a sparrow falls mystery #2, and Iced Tea for Two: a sparrow falls mystery #3 and The Butterfly Caper: a sparrow falls mystery #4 are selling at a steady pace both online and locally. Short stories are available as individual Kindles, and four holiday short stories are available in one paperback anthology and Kindle ebook, A Sparrow Falls Holiday.
