Midnight Ink For Immediate Release Murder Ferments After Clues from Dead Psychologist’s Notes Found Author takes readers on an intoxicating investigation centered around mead and wine making ST. PAUL, MINN. — Clues from a dead psychologist’s notes send Sophie Mae to Grendel Meadery, where she is on a mission to prevent a murder in Wined and Died by Cricket McRae. The latest in the Home Crafting Mystery series is scheduled for release in July. When Sophie Mae and Barr pick up a box of mini-cassettes at a local flea market, they have no idea it is going to launch Sophie Mae into another investigation. The tapes contain session notes from a recently deceased psychotherapist. One tape mentions a threat of violence against a local family. Sophie Mae is compelled to ferret out the truth, which leads her to a local, family-owned meadery and the complicated familial relationships. This one not only tests Sophie Mae’s sleuthing abilities, but also her relationship with Barr. Cricket McRae’s contemporary Home Crafting Mysteries reflect her interest in traditional colonial skills. Set in the Pacific Northwest, they feature activities like soap making, food preservation, spinning, cheese making and mead making. For two years Cricket managed her own soap making business, including all product design, manufacturing and marketing. The author resides in Fort Collins, Colo.
