Spreading Love and Mystery This Valentine’s Day 💌✨

Happy Valentine’s Day, dear readers!

Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate love, connection, and the magic of storytelling that brings us together. Whether you’re spending the day with someone special, enjoying some "me-time" with a cup of tea and a cozy mystery, or just sneaking a few extra treats to your furry friends (Pixie certainly would!), I hope your day is filled with warmth and joy.

Writing the Magical Papillon Mysteries series has been such a labor of love, and knowing that Sarah, Pixie, and the enchanting world of Rosewood Hollow have found a place in your hearts means the world to me. From uncovering hidden treasures in Whispers in the Attic to solving daring heists in Sapphires & Secrets and unraveling holiday murders in A Pinch of Peril, these stories are a reminder that love and mystery often go hand in hand.

This Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate the bonds we share—not just romantic love, but also the friendships, family ties, and communities that make our lives richer. After all, Rosewood Hollow wouldn’t be the same without the love between Sarah and her children, the quirky friendships she’s built, and, of course, the mischievous magic of her Papillon, Pixie.

As always, thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your support, your reviews, and your love for these stories keep me inspired every day.

How are you celebrating Valentine’s Day? Do you have a favorite couple from the series or a memorable moment that made your heart flutter? Let’s chat in the comments—I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Wishing you all a magical, love-filled day!

With love,

Sabine

and of course Pixie!!!

DIY Audiobook. A bit of equipment, good advice and lots of patience

I want to create an Audiobook - should I? Ever since the release of book one in the "Cannabis Preacher" series of thrillers, that question has been on my mind. The "Cannabis Preacher" books were quite long. To produce an audiobook from each of the four, including voice actors and audio production with a turn key service, I was looking at around $15,000 per book. Financially, that was a non-starter for me at the time. That amount represented a LOT of books and audiobooks to sell to recover the investment, and I shelved my plan again. With the popularity of the "Magical Papillon" cozy mystery series, I found myself coming back to the growing popularity of audiobooks. I knew that audiobooks could reach a wider audience and catered to busy readers who prefer listening while multitasking. The idea of bringing my characters to life through narration excited me, as it offered a new dimension to my storytelling. The cozy mysteries were only 60-65,000...
