Mini Meadows, a Tiny Home community in rural Central Florida, is home to Emma Wells, a downsize specialist who left her daddy’s mansion and her inheritance behind in favor of a simpler, more peaceful life in a tiny home that was once two shipping containers. But when she opens a shipping container and discovers her dead client sitting in a rocking chair, neatly wrapped and labeled, and two of her friends end up on the suspect list, Emma pitches in to help find the killer. With plenty of clues to unpack, Emma narrows down the suspect list, but as she begins to close in on the culprit, she realizes if she’s not careful she could end up in a box of her own.

Q&A With the Author

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

No Small Murder was a lot of fun to write. I enjoyed the tiny home community and learning about tiny homes. I spent a ton of time researching and looking at pictures and layouts of tiny homes to make sure everything worked. I found myself questioning if I could live in a tiny home. There’s a certain sense of peace, I think, with having less responsibility and more time to spend with family. I also loved writing Granny Rose. She’s one of the most fun characters I’ve written, and she’s loosely based on a woman I once saw getting out of a red corvette in a Walmart parking lot.

Do you have any other books you are working on that you can tell us about?

I am working on a whole list of books right now, lol. I just turned in the first book in my Coffee and Cream Café Mystery series, Murder a la Mode, to my editor and am currently working on book two, Grounds for Murder. Then I have book seven in the All-Day Breakfast Café Mysteries up next, followed by book eight in the Bay Island Psychic Mysteries and books two and three in the Mini-Meadows series.

Can you tell us about what you have planned for the future?

I am currently writing four cozy mystery series, and I plan to continue writing all of them. I also write inspirational romantic suspense under a pen name, so I’d love to continue doing that as well. And I have a young adult fantasy series coming soon, a middle grade fantasy, and a picture book. I also hope to continue writing for kids.

How long have you been writing?

I started writing twelve years ago, when my youngest son was born and didn’t sleep through the night. I’ve always loved to read, and I decided to give writing a try, and I LOVED everything about creating my own stories.

Anything more you would like to say to your readers and fans?

I would love to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone who has read my books. I appreciate each and every one of you more than you could know.
