Join us in exploring the colorful coastal community in Laura Elizabeth’s new cozy mystery, ‘All Is Now Lost’

This summer, we are inviting readers nationwide to:

Preorder the first cozy mystery in our publishing house’s new Front Edge Mysteries imprint. It’s titled: All Is Now Lost and represents Book No. 1 in The Island Mysteries series—and now is available for pre-order from Amazon.

Click on the cover to visit the book’s Amazon page.

Connect with author Laura Elizabeth in her new online homewww.TheIslandMysteries.com If you already are a fan of cozies, then you understand how strongly loyal readers feel connected to their favorite authors, often meeting them virtually if not in person in public events. One way Laura is offering authentic hospitality is through her once-a-month email newsletter. And here’s a valuable—and very tasty—tip! If you do visit her website right now in June 2023—and sign up for that newsletter—then you will receive the July issue that will include the recipe for the Toll House Cookie Pie that turns up in one chapter of this first book. Yum!

Connect with Front Edge Editor David Crumm on Goodreads, where David is beginning a chapter-by-chapter “commentary track” on the novel, pointing out gems that are likely to interest both readers and other writers and editors. So far, David has posted a short note on Chapter 1. He will continue to add intriguing chapter-by-chapter comments (but no spoilers) as the summer unfolds. So, if you are not already following David (or have become a friend on Goodreads), then now is the time to make that connection.
