When Howard and the girls leave town, Barb thinks she’ll have some quiet, peaceful alone time. Of course, this is calamity-prone Barbara Marr. Her life doesn’t know quiet or peaceful. And forget alone. With her air conditioning on the fritz, Barb accepts an invitation from a famous thriller writer to spend a few days in a cool and comfortable lakeside house. There is just one problem: the house has a few odd characters lurking about. They aren’t after Barb, but that doesn’t stop her from becoming outrageously tangled in the lunacy and danger than ensues.
In this fifth installment of the Barbara Marr Murder Mystery Series, Barb finds herself fumbling through another laugh-out-loud caper while making some new and interesting friends along the way.

If you enjoyed reading the first Barbara Marr novel, Take the Monkeys and Run, I think you will really love hearing the book as narrated by award-winning actress, Nan McNamara. She brings all of the crazy characters to life so perfectly, that you will find yourself laughing-out-loud more than once.
Go to Amazon to hear a sample and if you like what you hear, I hope you’ll consider grabbing yourself the audio copy!
I hope everyone is staying warm during this unusually cold winter! Next time you hear from me will be when I release the 5th Barbara Marr Murder Mystery, Dead Man Stalking. Until then, live, love, laugh!

Karen

My Short Story, “Next Stop, Foggy Bottom”
I was so pleased in 2012 when my short story, “Next Stop, Foggy Bottom,” was chosen to be one of several mystery short stories to be published in the anthology, Chesapeake Crimes: This Job is Murder. If you have that anthology, you have probably read my short little tale of revenge. If not, you now have the opportunity to read it online OR to have it sent to your Kindle for Free. How? My friend and fellow author, Maria E. Schneider, is hosting the story on her blog and has provided the easy “Send to Kindle” button. Again, it is all free.
Just click HERE for the short story page.
And if, for some reason, the button doesn’t seem to work, you can read the story on her blog OR she has provided her email address for people to contact her to receive a downloadable epub file.
This is a dark, subtly humorous tale of revenge with a twist. Enjoy!!

Description of Kiss Me, Tate:
Tate Kilbourn was Bunny Bergen’s long-forgotten, secret high school crush. But that was 24 years ago, and a lot has happened since. Devastated by a nasty divorce, trying to juggle kids, bills and her new job – not to mention a boatload of insecurities – the last thing Bunny needs is to fall for Tate again. But then she finds herself working with him, and gee, he sure did grow sexier with age…
Quiet and deeply private, Tate barely knew that Bunny was alive in high school. And now that he’s back in Rustic Woods, he has a million reasons to fight his growing attraction for this gorgeous woman with the less-than-stellar reputation. His life is too complicated for a relationship, much less a relationship with a woman like Bunny Bergen.
On the surface, Tate and Bunny appear to be an unlikely match. But, as Bunny knows all too well, appearances can be deceiving.
Kiss Me, Tate is the first book in the new Love in Rustic Woods Series, a romantic spin-off from Karen Cantwell’s Barbara Marr Murder Mysteries. If you are a fan of Cantwell’s zany, problem-prone protagonist, Barbara Marr, you’ll remember lovable Bunny Bergen from the fun and hilarious mystery, Citizen Insane.
