“Death is in the Cards”

Cover Reveal

The cover for the second book in my Pond Investigations Mystery series was unveiled at the Lubbock Book Festival yesterday. I’m very excited to share it with the rest of the world today.

Some notes on the cover design: my daughter, Katy, drew the Tarot Cards used in the photograph. They inspired the text used to describe these and other cards within the book. My husband, Rob (a.k.a The Tech Dude), took the photo and created the layout of the cover.

I’m so fortunate to have such a wonderful support system in my family.

Follow Up

We had a fantastic time at the Lubbock Book Festival yesterday. The team who organized the event did an amazing job. I loved visiting with so many new, and future, readers of the Pond Investigations Mystery series. I had the opportunity to chat with some of the other authors around us as well. Not as many as I wanted to, but that was only because we were all so busy. Which is always a good thing. The general consensus was that we are all looking forward to participating in the 2025 Lubbock Book Festival. A special thank you to the Lubbock Book Festival and Literacy Lubbock for putting together a fantastic event!

Here’s a link to see a few of the author booths. And a fantastic group shot at the end. https://youtu.be/265WkRKI4LM?si=i4WDf0vzuNzhyWhk

Introduction

Pond Investigation Mysteries / Writing

Week of February 21, 2021

I hope everyone reading this has finally thawed out and has full access to heat, electricity, and safe drinking water. BRRR! That was a cold week!

Now that my favorite pen, which is metal, no longer needs an hour to warm up before I touch it, I’m back to work on my first mystery novel. Would you like to read my elevator pitch? Here it is:

San Antonio Psychic Detective Mysteries

Elizabeth Susan Pond loves her beautiful, historic city of San Antonio, Texas where she works as a private investigator with a secret. Liz was born with Extra Sensory Perception and uses it as a tool to solve her cases, but she refuses to tell her clients or advertise herself as a psychic detective because she doesn’t believe in psychics. Her favorite hobby: busting charlatans.

I’ve always enjoyed anything to do with the paranormal or mysteries whether it be a book, movie or television show, which makes this book extra enjoyable to write.

And the research. Love it! We’ve been to San Antonio many times and always leave looking forward to our next visit even as we drive out of the city. As I look through photos from our trips it is easy to see many places to base an intriguing mystery.
