Friars in frocks, pizzas and PTA, a deceptive detective.
It’s that time again—fundraising season for the junior high school kids who are selling pizza dough kits to raise money for their upcoming band trip. When Breezy’s neighbor kid down the street asks if she wants to buy some from him, it’s right around the same time that a PTA mom is found dead—wrapped in a blanket the Happy Hookers crocheted for her only a few months earlier—and then things get dicey.
After a second death occurs, a mean detective wants to arrest Breezy for murder! A nice lady from the Records department at the police station helps her out, while a mean friar from an historical Alamo Town mission wants her out of the way.
Can Breezy figure out what the famous mission Alamo Town shares with nearby San Antonio has to do with junior high school pizza kits? How does a bag of frozen vegetables help Breezy escape a harrowing situation? And how will she dodge a persistent detective and a very old friar who both want to do her harm?
Becky Klauer is the author of adult spiritual suspense novels including the Veronica Pearl Series: Manifestation (#1), Revelation (#2), Reflection (#3), and Activation (#4). Her Miller/Stone suspense series starts with No Stone Unturned; and her cozy mystery series called The Happy Hookers Crochet Club, includes First Time’s a Yarn (#1), Hooked on a Feeling (#2), and Knot My Circus (#3). She has written and edited for print and online media, other authors, and a Tedx speaker.
Her novels, whether serious or not so serious, involve good guys and bad guys because she is married to a hot police guy and likes it when the good guys win. Since real life doesn’t always work out that way, writing the endings in her books the way she wants to means they always will.
Her kids have left the nest, but the neighborhood menagerie has not. She has broken her wrist while motorcycling, her knee while snowboarding, and her finger while closing the door. She tries to instill that same sense of adventure in her lead female characters. When she isn’t writing, working out, or reading a paperback or ebook, she keeps busy trying out new recipes and crochet patterns for the many colors of yarn that live next to the couch.
