When I knew Lauren would be one of my protagonists When I knew Lauren would be one of my protagonists of this year's New Cheltenham novel, I knew she'd have to be reading some mystery.  She's been on Poirot kicks and Marple kicks. Josephine Tey and I think Elizabeth Peters.  This year, I decided she'd REALLY love one of my favorite mystery series--the Lord Edgington Investigates by @benedictbrownauthor  If you love mystery, they're a lot of fun.  What I didn't know is that practical, prosaic Lauren would disgust herself when she realized she has a "book boyfriend" in Christopher Prentiss. Even her actual boyfriend knows her secret crush on a fictional young man from the 1920s.
This year's Christmas Lights Collection is the 10th we've done!  We're so proud of it!  Four towns battle it out in a Christmas Lights Showcase you won't want to miss.  Join @JayceeWeaver , @lainaturnerauthor , @CatheSwanson and me in this year's battle of the lights!
And seriously, if you love mysteries, don't miss Benedict Brown's.  He's brilliant and Christopher is awesome.  Lauren has that right. ;)
Releases October 7th!!

When protectors become targets, no one is safe.
Mark created The Agency to shield the innocent—but now an unknown foe fights to assume command. As shadowy threats tighten around Mark and his team, danger erupts on every front: terrorists at sea, betrayal within their ranks, and an enemy who always seems one step ahead.
While a Caribbean cruise turns deadly and secrets unravel in the agency’s halls, one shocking betrayal proves the enemy is closer than anyone imagined. Mark faces the fight of his life—not just for the future of his organization, but for the people he loves most. As faith and romance grow amid the fallout of shattered dreams, the stakes rise higher than ever.
The countdown to the series finale has begun… and survival is anything but guaranteed.
