A CRAFTY BUNDLE OF COZIES INTRODUCING A LOVABLE FEMALE SLEUTH…
The first three Kiki Lowenstein Scrap-N-Craft Mysteries. Fans of clean, funny cozies and hobbyists on the trail of fun-filled inspiration will tear through these pages. This yummy bundle by Agatha Award finalist Joanna Campbell Slan showcases the author’s appealing gift for turning life’s most dismal moments into humor, yet making us feel there’s hope for us all, even at the darkest of times. Fans of feel-good cozy mysteries, especially funny ones with animals or hobbies, should run, don’t walk, and pick up the pace if they love authors like Alexander McCall Smith, Hope Callaghan, Amy Vansant, and Carolyn Hart. "A nicely crafted cozy full of amusing moments, real-life insecurities, and scrapbooking tips."--KirkusVolume 1: PAPER, SCISSORS, DEATH JUST BECAUSE HER HUSBAND’S NAKED, DEAD, AND IN A HOTEL BED…it might not be what it seems. But there’s that scarf in his mouth. Of course it is. When pampered, passive Kiki Lowenstein’s husband suddenly turns up embarrassingly dead, Kiki transforms swiftly into a fighter, walking right out of her luxurious life and into a scrapbooking store, where she deftly turns a hobby into a moneymaker. As her husband’s secret life expands before her eyes, the police come for her, Family Services comes for her eleven-year-old daughter. Only one option: the scrappy hobbyist turns into a budding detective. Fellow hobbyists will love the way author Slan weaves the art of scrapbooking into the solution, and everyone will love Kiki herself. Slan also provides the ultimate warm-and-fuzzy: a wonderful floppy-eared dog. Paper, Scissors, Death is the kind of mystery that keeps you turning the pages just to spend time with the characters, who somehow make you feel this could be you if your life turned upside down-- and make you hope you’d turn it around as gracefully. Volume 2: CUT, CROP & DIE SWEET MEMORIES MADE OF MURDER— PASTRY, PIZZA, AND A POISONOUS PILL… Recovering from financial ruin and the murder of her husband—she’s not saying which was worse—Kiki Lowenstein’s getting her life back on track as a professional scrapbooker, in charge of a huge event at the Missouri Botanical Garden. But during the scrapbooking soiree, somebody goes into anaphylactic shock and dies, right in front of half the hobbyists in the state of Missouri. Bad press for Kiki’s scrapbooking cred! Author Slan weaves pro scrapbook sleuthing tips effortlessly into the plot, making the reader feel like they’re getting a crash course in cropping and hunting down a depraved murderer. It’s a double how-to for the price of one! Volume 3: INK, RED, DEAD AS MANY SECRETS AS PILES OF STUFF— MURDER IN A HOARDER’S HAVEN… Kiki and her hobby store co-worker arrive for a scrapbooking crop to discover their client passed out from heat stroke in her feline-filled hoarder’s haven… with a body in her freezer! With a helping hand from her longtime crush Detective Chad Detweiler, Kiki digs deep into a treasure trove of clues—from the hoarder’s semi-estranged children to her barely-touched inheritance—meticulously gluing the pieces together as only a scrapbooker could.

From the Publisher

Kiki Lowenstein isn't a quitter. She's got too much too lose. Finding her husband's killer is #1 on her "to do" list.

child creating art

hand on casket

loose change

Coffee mug and Post-it Note

Kiki's great loves:

  1. Anya, her young daughter
  2. Crafting, keeps her sane
  3. Fur babies
  4. Her friends

Her husband's murder...

Turns her comfortable soccer mom world upside down. The secrets he hid are now coming to light.

Money is tight--

But Kiki refuses to give up her daughter. Somehow...some way...Kiki will manage to keep a roof over their heads while seeking justice for her dead spouse.

No more Mrs. Nice Guy!

As Shakespeare said: Though she be but little, she be FIERCE.

Go, Kiki, go!

Binge read an ongoing series with a protagonist you'll cheer for! And characters you'll love! Start the series with Paper, Scissors, Death.

Is this series for you? I hope so.

woman with pastries and a welcome message

If I could, I would invite you to come in, sit down, and have a cup of tea with me.

But that's not possible, I guess. * Sigh * So instead I'm going to tell you that I love what I do. I've been writing ever since I can remember. Into each of my books, I put things I love...like food, pets, crafts, d-i-y ideas, recycling stuff, and a bit of history. My goal is to make each and every book a rich feast. The Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Series is set in St. Louis (where I lived for 17 years), the present day, and features a struggling single mom. If you like books with happy endings after a scenic tour of emotions, then my books should appeal to you. I hope you'll give them a try!

"Our best friend, our next-door neighbor and ourselves with just a touch of the outrageous." That’s how RT Book Review describes Joanna’s protagonist, Kiki Lowenstein. The truth is that’s a pretty good description of Joanna as well.

Joanna is a New York Times Bestselling, USA Today Bestselling, and Amazon Bestselling author as well as a woman prone to frequent bursts of crafting frenzy, leaving her with burns from her hot glue gun and paint on her clothes. And the mess? Let’s not even go there.

Otherwise, she’s a productive author with more than 80 written projects to her credit. Her non-fiction work includes how to books, a college textbook for public speakers, and books of personal essays (think Chicken Soup for the Soul).

Currently she writes four fiction series: The Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Series (Agatha Award Finalist, contemporary, St. Louis setting, crafting), the Cara Mia Delgatto Mystery Series (contemporary, Florida setting, DIY and recycling), the Jane Eyre Chronicles (Daphne du Maurier Award Winner, 1830s England, based on Charlotte Brontë’s classic), and the Sherlock Holmes Fantasy Thrillers (late 1800s, based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s books).

A former TV talk show host, college teacher, and public relations specialist, Joanna was one of the early Chicken Soup for the Soul contributors. She won a Silver Anvil for her work on the original FarmAid concert to benefit farmers.

In her ongoing quest never to see snow again, Joanna lives with her husband and their Havanese puppy, Jax, on an island off the coast of Florida. You can email her at jcslan@joannaslan.com or visit her website at http://www.JoannaSlan.com

I really enjoyed these books. To be so talented and yet such a door mat, only to bloom into a little more. Shows the true hardship that women face at times without making the woman turn into a shrew. Being on a tight budget I will have to wait for the other books in the series to go on sale to purchase them. These books are for sure without a doubt a very very good read. My thanks to the author

I read the first three books of this series and thoroughly enjoyed them. Kiki, the main character, is real hoot. She,s a young widowed mother of a teenager daughter, who never finished college and has never had a job-until now! The books have the underlying theme of her husband's murder and the funky detective who's working the case. Lot's of fun characters, pets and murders! Can't wait to read the next one!

I always have a mystery book on hand to read. I did truly enjoy this series of three books. I read them one after the other. I will keep reading the rest of the series. The characters were all brought to life I can picture all of them and can easily see myself being friends with them. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

These books show a great deal of imagination and knowledge about the subject matter. Each book holds your interest and makes you want to get the next one. I only have one criticism. They are in dire need of someone to check for spelling and wrong words. She she spend the money on a good proof reader

Lots of good aspects to this series, but sometimes the author draws out the storyline interminably. In contrast, it got wrapped up really quickly and suddenly in the last chapter.

I loved having Gracie in the story, as I have 2 Great Danes! I enjoyed the story not being too predictable. Whoever edited the book did a poor job, as there were many errors and that kind of takes away from the story. Overall, I would recommend the book!

A tough female detective facing some interesting challenges. I really enjoy these and have bought the whole set. I wish the author would write more! :) These are adult literature, not graphically porn, but adult in content and language. A lot of humor and dry wit. The story lines are interesting and new, which is refreshing.
