Cherry Tucker number 6, #amwriting #newcharacter


One of the things I love to do with my street team, the Mystery Minions, is offer a character name contest at the start of a new book. I started this with Death in Perspective, A Cherry Tucker Mystery #4 (Henery Press), and my winner, Pamela Hargraves. Cherry Tucker #5, The Body in the Landscape, has Risa Rispoli. 

And now book 6 (untitled) will have a character named Debbie Krenzer. Congrats Debbie!

Meet Southern Sassy Sleuths Cherry Tucker & Tai Randolph

What happens when two mystery writers realize their characters are soul sisters? The writers make their characters meet, much like two friends forcing their children on a playdate. Both characters — gunshop owner Tai Randolph and the artist Cherry Tucker — are sassy, southern spitfires with a penchant for trouble and appetite for justice. After first clearing the scene of dangerous objects, like men and guns, the writers dropped their characters off at a bar and let them get to know each other.

The result: Just Tai and Cherry Talkin', two Georgia girls dishing on life with a side order of solving crimes. Get to know the amateur sleuths, Tai Randolph and Cherry Tucker, in Just Tai and Cherry Talkin', a free read available on Wattpad.

DEATH IN PERSPECTIVE Goodreads giveaway

Thru May 14th, enter to win an signed advanced copy of DEATH IN PERSPECTIVE, A Cherry Tucker Mystery #4, at Goodreads. Click the "Enter to Win" button below to enter!

The curtain rises on Cherry Tucker’s debut as a high school set designer at the posh Peerless Day Academy. Cherry’s been hired for an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, but the drama director is hoping Cherry can also turn the spotlight on a malicious social media bully who’s sending poisonous texts to the faculty. The director’s got his own drama to hide, and the phantom texter seems eager to spill school secrets. When the principal’s secretary commits suicide, Cherry suspects foul play.

With Deputy Luke Harper ready to return as Cherry’s leading man, he’s eager to assist in finding the phantom culprit, but Cherry fears family secrets offstage may doom them to the role as star-crossed lovers. With the bully waiting for a murderous encore and her own family skeletons to hide, Cherry scrambles to find her brother and the mysterious texter before the phantom decides its curtains for Cherry and forces her to take a final bow.

The fourth book in the bestselling Cherry Tucker Mystery series. "Delightfully Southern, surprisingly edgy, and deliciously unpredictable." --Hank Phillipi Ryan

My fingers are crossed, but I'm not holding my breath. The list for fiction includes a few mystery writer friends who I'll also root for GAYA winner. To be a nominee is thrilling in itself. Unfortunately, I'll be in Japan during the banquet and will miss the official announcement. My congratulations to everyone nominated for author of the year. Georgia has a such a rich history of writing and I'm so honored to be included. I love living and writing in Georgia and particularly love setting my stories here.

The curtain rises on Cherry’s debut as a high school set designer at the posh, private Peerless Day Academy. Cherry’s been hired to design scenery for an avant garde adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, but the theater teacher's hoping Cherry can also turn the spotlight on a malicious bully who’s sending poisonous texts to the faculty. The director’s got his own drama to hide, and the phantom texter seems eager to spill school secrets. When a school secretary's death is ruled a suicide, Cherry suspects foul play. The phantom bully may be using blackmail to rid the school of unwanted staff, urging a Montague-Capulet styled showdown.


With Deputy Luke Harper wanting to return as Cherry’s leading man, he’s eager to assist her efforts in fingering the phantom culprit, but Cherry fears family secrets may doom them to the role of star-crossed lovers. Offstage, Cherry’s searching for her missing brother who’s fixed on a vendetta against Luke’s stepfamily, so she instead turns to the local, foreign racketeer, Max Avtaikin, for assistance. With the bully waiting for a murderous encore and her own family skeletons to hide, Cherry scrambles to find her brother and the mysterious texter before the phantom decides its curtains for Cherry and forces her to take a final bow.
