WELCOME HANNAH REED!!!

Hannah Reed was the first author to guest post on my blog back in April, when Buzz Off was just barely in the publisher's hands.  It was released yesterday and I am so excited to have Hannah return to tell us all about it and give a couple of hints about the next book in the series!!  I am also excited that this series takes place in my home State of Wisconsin and the references to familiar places is heartwarming.

Now enough of my buzzing.  Here's Hannah!!

Thank you Dollycas for inviting me back as I launch my new Queen Bee Mystery Series, and during National Honey Month, no less.

I am so glad there has been a lot of "Buzz" about this book, some booksellers even had it out early so people were actually able to pick it up before yesterday.  There have been some very "sweet" reviews already.

Here's what the Buzz is all about:

Story Fischer, the protagonist, lives in a fictional town (Moraine) in southeastern Wisconsin among the hills and valleys created by long-ago glaciers. (And you thought we were flat, didn’t you?) She’s a beekeeper (my state is eleventh in U.S. honey production), but she also owns a local grocery store, specializing in Wisconsin products. 

When she isn’t solving murders, she’s stocking shelves with Door County wines, award winning cheeses (squeaky cheese curds are popular items), Nueske ham, Racine kringles, sausages, Amish chocolates, frozen custard… 

Oh, and of course the hot guy in Buzz Off rides (what else?) a Harley Hog, Wisconsin’s premier motorcycle. 

With the Queen Bee mysteries, I’m writing about an area I really know and love - Wisconsin, my home state - land of cows, cranberries, brats (a type of sausage, not an unruly kid), beer, and yes, cheeseheads.

Dollycas asked for a couple of hints for Book 2 in this series.  The title is Mind Your Own Beeswax" and Story has he hands full with swarming bees and a "blast" from the past.
