Blue skies and wildflowers signal the start of summer in southern Vermont, and the Stonebridge Keep it Snappy Camera Club lenses are zoomed in on…murder.

It’s been more than a year since the sudden death of her husband, and photographer Bobbie Brooks wants nothing more than to escape her grief. Fleeing her life in the city, she seeks a fresh start in the serenity of the Green Mountains. But Bobbie’s new beginning comes to a halt when she finds a member of her camera club dead beneath the village’s idyllic covered bridge. Tragic accident or something sinister? With a keen photographer’s eye, Bobbie suspects murder.

As if transitioning to small-town life wasn’t challenging enough, Bobbie’s missing scarf is found at the murder scene, making her the primary focus. Scorned by local gossips, she enlists the help of her camera club and shifts her lens from photographer to amateur sleuth. Using photos found on the victim’s camera, they waste no time setting out to catch the killer—and discover no shortage of suspects. Secrets, lies, and blackmail…Danger abounds as they close in on the killer.
Her camera holds the answers… But can she develop the clues in time to stop the killer?

Celebrate Lit Presents: Preach It, Grace A Girl’s Testimony of Faith (Dream Pony Book 5) Author: Susan Count

About the Book

Book: Preach It, Grace A Girl’s Testimony of Faith (Dream Pony Book 5)

Author: Susan Count

Genre: Middle-Grade

Release date: February, 2024

Sharing a pony worked perfectly, until it didn’t.

The pony share Grace worked out with her elderly neighbor was ideal—she thought. Mr. Harvey bought the buckskin gelding’s food and Grace fed him. The pony was important to both of them so it made no sense when the elderly man sent him away. And why won’t he tell her where?

About the Author

Susan Count is a Kingdom Scribe who has published nine books in two equestrian series. As a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, American Christian Fiction Writers, and Texas Association of Authors, she takes studying the craft of writing seriously. Revision is her super-power.

Susan is a life-long equestrian and owned by a Rocky Mountain Horse that is kind hearted enough to take her on long, forested trail rides. She says the only thing more fun than riding might be writing horse adventure stories and she invites you to saddle up and ride along.

Read an Excerpt

Saturday started early for Grace’s family. Serve Out Saturday was the church’s biggest outreach event all year, and everyone who could turned out to help. Grace manned the church’s front-door sign-in desk. After everyone got their work assignments, she ran with her clipboard for the van headed to the retirement home. When they arrived, many residents were already gathered.
She lined up with six other girls, and they sang the gospel songs the residents requested. She searched their faces until she found Mr. Harvey in the last row. Giving him a quick wave, she sang directly to him.

He didn’t sing along like many of the residents, but he stayed for the program. That counted as a victory. Did he recognize her? She couldn’t tell.

She stepped to the microphone. “Hello. I’m Grace. That means blessings from God.”

She grinned at the residents, and they smiled back at her. “Horses are my favorite thing, and they’re also blessings from God. If you’ve ever seen a horse, then you know they are magnificent, mighty creatures.”

Grace held a booklet high, then pointed with it to the residents. “This explains how we can know the God that blesses us. And how we can go to heaven to be with him someday. It says he sent his Son, Jesus, to teach us about eternal life.”

She placed her hands over the open Bible on the podium. “No matter how hard we try, we can’t be perfect, but because of Jesus, we are forgiven for all the things we do wrong. He suffered and died on the cross, was buried, then raised to life on the third day.” She looked into Mr. Harvey’s eyes. “He loves us that much.”

As she closed the Bible, she softened her voice. “Pray to your heavenly Father—ask him to help you believe in Jesus.”

Celebrate Lit Presents: Glitter and the Grouch (Romance in Valiant Book Three. It can be read as a standalone.) Author: Mary Pat Johns

About the Book

Book: Glitter and the Grouch (Romance in Valiant Book Three. It can be read as a standalone.)

Author: Mary Pat Johns

Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

Release date: September 3, 2024

Silas and Nat don’t get along. Neither can they leave each other alone. When a prank goes terribly wrong at their workplace, they face an impossible choice.

Either they compete in a canoe race to prove they can work together or forfeit their futures at Peeps. Quitting isn’t the norm for either of them. Good thing, because their boss isn’t backing down an inch. He assures them they can accomplish anything they set their minds to, even if it’s 3 days and 260 miles of river.

There’s only one catch—they’ll have to be in the same boat.

Will they reach deep inside to find out what they’re made of? Or will they succumb to the physical rigors of the event and the machinations of Nat’s controlling ex?

About the Author

Mary Pat Johns’ writing career began once she retired from years of teaching speech and writing. She’s written devotions for an online publication and had short stories published by Chicken Soup for the Soul. She currently writes a weekly faith column for the local newspaper. Countin’ On Jesse, her first novel debuted in 2023, and book 2 of the Valiant series, Lovin’ On Red, released in release in 2024. God put it in her heart to tell stories of brave veterans and their reintegration into civilian life after suffering the traumas of war.

She lives in South Texas with her husband and their two dapple dachshunds. Her grown children and five grandchildren are useful sorts who keep her grounded with her reading/writing obsession. You can find her at the gym, at her computer, or reading a good book.

More from Mary

I wrote Glitter and the Grouch for two reasons. The first reason was peace of mind. LOL. Two minor characters from Books 1 & 2 of the Valiant series INSISTED on having their own story. Rather, Nat insisted and Silas grudgingly followed. He hated the idea at first, but all’s well that ends well.

The second reason is I absolutely LOVE the Texas Water Safari and follow it every year. When I talked to a friend who competes, he wasn’t sure how I would write a book about it. When I explained it would be a story about two people who fall in love during the race, he grinned from ear to ear and said that scenario had happened a few times.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or maybe a gin and tonic.

Emily Hildebrandt has run into a bit of a rough patch. She’s lost her job, her fiance and her apartment. Still, she never expected to be desperate enough to accept an invitation to live with her eccentric Aunt Tilde in Redemption, Wisconsin.

But, beggars can’t be choosers. Even if part of the deal is she has to pretend to work at her aunt’s latest hair-brained scheme, The Redemption Detective Agency.

Seriously, the woman is a retired nurse. Why does she think she’s remotely qualified to run a detective agency, especially in a creepy little town like Redemption?

But, when a strange phone call suddenly thrusts them into an actual case, Emily finds herself hoping her aunt really does know what she’s doing … or an innocent person may be the one to suffer the consequences.

A spin-off from the Charlie Kingsley Mystery series! The Redemption Detective Agency is a funny, twisty cozy mystery series set in the 1990s featuring silver sleuths solving cold cases. Great for fans of the Thursday Murder Club.

About Michele Pariza Wacek

A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They’re clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn’t enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes, and more, at MPWNovels.com.

Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.

When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she’s an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she’s not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)

Celebrate Lit Presents: A Death Observed (The Belle of Bow Street Regency Mysteries Book 1) Author: Kate Darroch

About the Book

Book: A Death Observed (The Belle of Bow Street Regency Mysteries Book 1)

Author: Kate Darroch

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Release date: October, 2024

1812. Belle, an independently wealthy young Quaker woman, living in London with her large birth family, has received an excellent education because her father, now the Astronomer Royal, was previously an Oxford don. But she has no degree: for women are not allowed to receive degrees in 1812 in England. Belle is a patron of the Ragged School and the Paupers Infirmary; she gives her time and skills as well as money. She also helps her father at nights in Greenwich Observatory.

One stormy night she opens the Observatory door onto a dying young nobleman. The Watch are summoned, but the victim has bled out and the storm has washed away all trace of the murder. Belle sees clues; she wants to jump in, but no young middle-class lady would ever be allowed to become part of a murder investigation.

Belle is no ordinary lady. She learned independence and kindness at her mother’s knee, was taught to serve the Light from her earliest days. Seeking to serve, Belle finds a way to sleuth, she finds the murderer.

Can she find love along the way? Will her family forgive the deceptions she is forced to practice? Will they condone her desire to marry a man who has neither wealth nor birth to recommend him, only his good heart? Will her beloved survive the shock of discovering her secrets? And will his pride permit him to ask for the hand of a woman who is socially and financially so far above him?

Kate’s debut novel, Death in Paris, has won many international book awards, including the 2022 Incipere Award for best Christian Fiction.

Next, Kate wrote Huntingdon Hart, a witty, prescient, multi-millionaire, tongue-in-cheek meld of Get Smart, James Bond, and Mycroft Holmes. Hunt’s in love with a much older woman.

Kate’s most recent series is Sweets By the Sea, a Recovery & Redemption Saga of Second Chances for Lasting Love that her readers say is even sweeter than Màiri’s adventures.

More from Kate

Belle Comes Out of the Shadows

I am so thrilled that the first book in the Belle of Bow Street series, A Death Observed, a historical murder mystery set in 1812, is at last ready for launch.

Research began for this series in June 2021, so this is one time where a self-published novel has taken as long to reach readers as would have happened as a matter of course if it had been traditionally published. The research process was fascinating. The novel is set in Marylebone in London in the winter of 1812. Marylebone High Street is right in the heart of Central London, just off Oxford Street. At one time I lived in Marylebone High Street and worked in an office block in Saville Row, which is just off Regent Street, a brisk 15 minute walk from Marylebone High Street. So I know the area well.

But Marylebone was a very different place in 1812, when it was a village on the ‘outskirts’ of Londontown, respectable, but certainly not salubrious. It was home mainly to merchants and tradesmen who lived above their shops and places of business. Belle’s family are not merchants; they are scholars, and very wealthy by our standards, although not fabulously wealthy like the noble classes of the period. Belle inherits a house in Marylebone High Street from her godmother and her whole family chooses to live in that house, even though Belle’s father (a one-time Oxford don who is now the Astronomer Royal) spends three nights a week at Greenwich Observatory, a long horse-ride from their home, a dangerous journey by night.

Being Quakers, Belle and her family believe in hard work; and in following the Light. They feel strongly about bettering the lot of the poor. The poor – that is the working classes, the class into which I was born – had a dreadful time if they lived in London in the 19^th century, as those of you who have read Charles Dickens have cause to suspect. That’s why Belle and her family chose to live in Marylebone, where there is a Ragged School and an Infirmary.

Researching those establishments – which no longer exist – and the whole history of Marylebone during the period was much easier for me than it might have been, because I am a member of the Marylebone Society, a local community effort to preserve the history of this “village” within London. The Society publishes several books about Marylebone during the period when this novel is set, and the member meetings are a wonderful treasure trove of members old and young who are steeped in Marylebone’s history, often passed down from mother to child across generations, creating the closest thing to eye-witness accounts possible in today’s world. I am most grateful to the Marylebone Society and our membership for many colourful accounts of life in Marylebone in 1812.

By November 2021, I’d completed all the research. I was looking forward to telling the story enormously, because everything about the Quakers during that period in history – and the tempestuous history of Marylebone, in 1812 barely respectable, today so glamorous – and Belle’s independence and lively family relationships, so untypical of the period and yet so authentic in context, was and is fascinating to me.

But for nearly two years my writing time (a commodity in short supply) was devoted to the various Màiri Maguire Cozy Mysteries, and so it is only now that Belle is ready to take her place in the fictional world of early 19^th century crime and the birth of modern policing.

Don’t think that because the background and setting is authentic A Death Observed is a dull book! Marylebone in 1812 was a hotbed of fascinating and unusual crimes and of approaches to criminology which make modern crime scenes seem tame by comparison. Belle’s unusual take on the world in which she lives is not a crime-solving scenario that you will see in many other historical mysteries. In fact, so far as I know, it is unique.

To announce this book’s launch, a Celebration Book Tour is about to begin. I thank the team at Celebration Lit a million times for their prayers and for introducing Belle to readers whom I hope will read the Belle of Bow Street Mysteries and enjoy them.

The Weight of Goodbye by Eliza Graham

1937. On the eve of her debutante season in London, Lucia Blake rebels against her domineering father and his fascist politics and runs away to France. Breaking the promise to always look after her, she leaves behind her adored younger sister, Della. Seeking freedom Lucia finds unexpected passion in the arms of a charming French archaeologist. But as war looms over Europe, their idyllic love is shattered by an unspeakable tragedy.

Returning to war-torn London, a heartbroken Lucia buries her past and throws herself into work as an ambulance driver. Every time she heads into the Blitz to rescue people she gambles with death. Yet it’s when she pulls a terrified young girl from the rubble— clutching a toy elephant—that suppressed memories surge to the surface. Bound by grief, Lucia and the child embark on a desperate search for the girl’s missing father, forming an unbreakable bond.

But the ghosts of Lucia’s past won’t stay silent. As the bombs fall and death claims those around her, she longs for Della to forgive her for the pain she caused when she fled those years ago. Will her sister ever be able to reconcile with Lucia? Or will the weight of goodbye prove too much to bear?

About The Author

Eliza Graham's novels have been long-listed for the UK's Richard & Judy Summer Book Club in the UK, and short-listed for World Book Day's 'Hidden Gem' competition. She has also been nominated for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction and the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction.

Her books have been bestsellers both in Europe and the US.

She is fascinated by the world of the 1930s and 1940s: the Second World War and its immediate aftermath and the trickle-down effect on future generations. Consequently she's made trips to visit bunkers in Brittany, decoy harbours in Cornwall, wartime radio studios in Bedfordshire and cemeteries in Szczecin, Poland. And those are the less obscure research trips.

It was probably inevitable that Eliza would pursue a life of writing. She spent biology lessons reading Jean Plaidy novels behind the textbooks, sitting at the back of the classroom. In English and history lessons she sat right at the front, hanging on to every word. At home she read books while getting dressed and cleaning her teeth. During school holidays she visited the public library multiple times a day.

At Oxford University she studied English Literature, which didn't teach her much about writing a modern novel, but expanded her knowledge of the literary canon and how people have used books and words to communicate with one another since Saxon times.

She has worked as a 'Saturday' girl in Marks & Spencer, an entrance-hall cleaner, a trainee banker and as a PR consultant and business writer, covering subjects from long-tail insurance risks to jumbo factory loo rolls.

Eliza lives in an ancient village in the Oxfordshire countryside with her family. Not far from her house there is a large perforated sarsen stone that can apparently summon King Alfred if you blow into it correctly. Eliza has never managed to summon him. Her interests still mainly revolve around reading, but she also enjoys walking in the downland country around her home and travelling around the world to research her novels.

Find out more about Eliza on her website: www.elizagrahamauthor.com. You can also follow her on Twitter: @Eliza_Graham.

My Review

This is a very different WWII story, with roots in the Great War, and being swept up in fascism, and the affects it has on a family in Great Britten.
The author gives us a lot in a story, and as we delve deeper into the book, answers do come along with some great surprises.
We are given some sweet romance, along with the horrible bombing in the streets of London, and the compassion of helping those less fortunate. This is also a dual time read, 2020 back to 1938, although most of this takes place in the late 30's.
The author does a wonderful job of bringing a look at life of a family during WWII!
I received this book through Net Galley and Storm Publishing, and was not required to give a positive review.

More from Keon

How would you like to get a personal letter from someone? Most people like real mail, especially if its from a person who truly cares about you. What if that letter not only shared their affection but it revealed the answers to some of life’s most profound questions? God has written you such a letter, the Bible! Actually, the Bible is a collection of all God’s written messages to you.

This fact was impressed on me as I read the New Testament book of Hebrews. It opens with a bold statement. God had given messages to humanity in ancient times through prophets and angels. Finally, God sent Jesus, the Ultimate Messenger with the ultimate message that is vital for every person.

This captured my attention and made me wonder how the previous messages in the Bible led up to Jesus and His message? Researching that question took me on an exciting journey of discovery, encouragement, and warning in God’s Word. The result is my book, Have You Heard from God Lately? It summarizes major Bible themes to help you navigate the amazing Book. I hope it inspires you to open God’s letter and realize just how much He cares for you!
