Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles 2022

 Nine authors. Nine books. One town. Magnolia Bluff, Texas.


What an amazing year this has been for the Underground Authors. There were times when I didn’t think we’d do it. Working with 9 creatives is a challenge. But we did it, and that makes me feel very good. We successfully published this multi-author crime fiction series over the course of 9 consecutive months.





And now Book 9 is live! Born and Bred Texan by Jinx Schwartz.


I’m a bit behind on my reading, but a review will be up soon. In the meantime, here is the blurb to wet your whistle:


Blue Bonet, widowed and in mourning, returns to Magnolia Bluff in her home state of Texas. Her grandmother had bequeathed an old lake house to her, and she cherishes childhood memories there. She arrives at the lake and finds the house she remembers as being grand, is now in disrepair.


She tackles the repairs, and is determined to make a new life for herself. It seems like an uphill battle.


A rollercoaster of ups and down conspire to destroy her dream, and she begins to wonder if you really can’t go home again.


That is a good question: can you ever truly go home? I’ve pondered that question myself, and am looking forward to finding out what Blue has to say about it.
