Welcome

When I was eight, my dream was to be a super cool detective like Nancy Drew, racing around town in a sky blue roadster. At sixteen, my goal was to be an awesome mystery writer like Agatha Christie. A few decades and diversions later, I was a newly divorced Mom and CEO, driving my kids to cheerleading and soccer practice. In a sky blue SUV.

Welcome to the world I share with Laurel McKay, a single soccer mom with attitude. Enjoy her adventures as she dips her toe into the world of dating and ends up in a tsunami-sized murder investigation.

Homicide, humor, and a few heart palpitations combine to make Dying for a Date your summer “hammock” read.

-Penny Warner, award-winning author of the Nancy Drew Handbook, Presley Parker party planning series and the Connor Westphal mysteries.

“Funny dialogue, relatable heroine, fast-paced plot. If real dating were this entertaining, we’d all be doing more of it. Dying for a Date will keep you glued to the pages and laughing out loud.”

-Liz Jasper, Eppie award-winning author of Underdead and Underdead in Denial.

“With tongue-in-cheek and a tush in tight skirts, Laurel McKay traverses the demands of motherhood and the perils of on-line dating in Cindy Sample’s chic mystery, Dying for a Date. Re-entering the singles scene after divorce isn’t easy as Laurel discovers when her “blind date” tries to practice Braille on her body. Her first bad date becomes his last when he’s found dead the next day. Curl up with a pint of ice cream, fluffy slippers and a book that will make you glad you’re having a night in.”

-Sunny Frazier, Author of the Christy Bristol Astrology Mysteries
