About Me Cozy Corner

Knot Before You Enter
Cover Reveal Coming Soon!

✨ Blurb:

Maxine Gerimatter, an octogenarian determined to hold onto her independence, never expected to spend her golden years at Sunny Ridge Living Care Facility. Plotting a quiet escape, she instead finds herself tangled in a murder mystery when a member of the Wise Weavers Crochet Club turns up dead.

Drawing on her past as a private investigator’s assistant, Maxine dusts off her sleuthing skills to uncover secrets hidden within the cozy community. But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous it becomes. With a killer lurking in the halls,

Maxine must unravel the truth before she—or someone else—ends up in the wrong stitch.
