🎄 A Pinch of Christmas Magic: Welcome to Rosewood Hollow!


 ðŸŽ„ A Pinch of Christmas Magic: Welcome to Rosewood Hollow!

It's launch day, mystery lovers! I'm practically bouncing with excitement to finally share this very special Christmas adventure with you. Pour yourself a cup of hot cocoa, snuggle up with your favorite pet (enchanted or otherwise), and let me tell you about the magical world of Rosewood Hollow.

You know those small towns where everyone knows your name? Well, in Rosewood Hollow, even the ghosts know your business! And today, I'm inviting you to join Sarah Anderson - single mom extraordinaire, supernatural detective, and proud owner of the world's sassiest enchanted Papillon - as she faces her most personal case yet.

What happens when your best friend is accused of murder just weeks before Christmas? If you're Sarah Anderson, you rally the troops: two teenage kids with detective skills that would put Nancy Drew to shame, a mind-reading dog who's never met a secret she couldn't sniff out, and a pair of ghostly allies who take "neighborhood watch" to a whole new level.

Speaking of Pixie (our four-legged detective), I have a confession to make - she may or may not be inspired by my own Papillon, who gives me such knowing looks that I'm half convinced she can read my mind. No comment on whether she helps solve crimes in her spare time!

But what I love most about this story isn't just the mystery (though I promise you'll never guess who did it!). It's about the magic that happens when family - both the one we're born with and the one we choose - comes together. It's about friendship that stands strong in the darkest times, and the special kind of courage it takes to fight for those we love.

So if you're in the mood for:
- A Christmas mystery that will keep you guessing
- A dose of supernatural fun
- A reminder that family comes in all forms (including the four-legged and ghostly varieties)
- A story that will warm your heart even on the chilliest December night

Then grab your copy of "A Pinch of Peril" today!

And hey, while you're cozying up with Sarah and the gang, drop by our Facebook page to share your theories about who did it. Pixie might even drop a telepathic hint or two... (Though between us, she's terrible at keeping secrets!)

Happy reading, mystery lovers! And remember, in Rosewood Hollow, Christmas magic is always in season.

P.S. Don't forget to tune into the Rosewood Holiday Express podcast )on podbean, iheart radio, spotify, podchaser, playerfm and Youtube) for some extra magical content! Because sometimes the best stories can't be contained in just one format.

With love and a sprinkle of supernatural sparkle,
Sabine

A Labour-Free Labour Day? Yes, Please!

Hello and Happy Labour Day to all my lovely North American readers! Now, isn’t it just a little bit ironic that a holiday with the word labour baked right into the name is universally observed by doing absolutely none of it? Zero. Zilch. Unless, of course, you count the rigorous work of flipping burgers, casting fishing lines, and chasing wasps away from the potato salad. Then yes—we are a nation of highly skilled, recreational labourers. Olympic-level loungers, really. This year, I’m wholeheartedly leaning into the contradiction. After an exceptionally busy summer filled with writing deadlines, creative misadventures, and one unfortunate incident involving a Papillon, a pie, and a squirrel (don’t ask—Pixie is still refusing to discuss it), I’m embracing the art of not doing much at all. My Labour Day weekend plans include: Reclining in my favourite chair like a dramatic Victorian heroine recovering from a fainting spell. Watching the endless activity in the harbour just outs...

The Art of a Well-Timed Swear

There comes a moment in life when frustration bubbles over, and the only logical response is… well, a good, solid, soul-cleansing swear word. I’m not talking about casual, everyday muttering under your breath. No, I mean that moment when nothing else will do. The kind of moment where dropping your toast butter-side down feels like an act of war, where technology conspires against you, or when you stub your toe so hard you briefly see your ancestors. Now, I was raised in a house where we had a rule: Use your words, not you hands. This was my dad’s way of preventing sibling-induced concussions, and frankly, it worked. We weren’t an inherently violent bunch, but three kids in one tiny household meant tempers flared, and so did elbows. The logic was simple—if you had time to yell, maybe you’d have time to think twice before swinging. Or at least give your victim a solid head start. This philosophy stayed with me, though in adulthood, I’ve adapted it to use a well-placed expletive now a...

A Bird Pooped on My Head and Other Life-Changing Moments

True story: a peaceful morning, blue sky, the smell of damp leaves on the sidewalk, birds chirping with enthusiasm that can only mean one thing— trouble. I’m out walking my adorable Papillon, Blueberry (who is, let’s be honest, the true star of my writing life), when BAM. Something hits me. Not metaphorically. Not spiritually. Physically. With a plop. I know immediately. There’s no mystery here. I’m a cozy mystery author, and even I don’t need clues for this one. A bird just pooped on me. Right on the head. Bullseye. Olympic-level accuracy. Somewhere, that bird is getting high-fived by its feathered friends and earning itself a tiny gold medal for "Most Precise Aerial Delivery." And let me tell you—it was disgusting. So there I am, frozen on the sidewalk, trying not to scream in front of my dog, who is looking up at me like, “Why are you standing still, and also… ew.” I sprint home, Blueberry bouncing along beside me, clueless to the drama, and I leap into the shower...
