Brief Humor & Check-Ins

Book Publication Day: “Hilda and The Stolen Diamonds” by Mike Nevin (Cozy, Fun UK Mystery)

Septuagenarian Hilda’s passion for life and inner joy cannot be contained. She takes her best friend Pearl on an extraordinary adventure across America. A jewel thief pursues the two companions as they search for Pearl’s twin sister. They uncover two murders along the way. This is no ordinary holiday.”

Mike Nevins of “How Caring: Shall We Get Dressed?” blog has recently published Book I in a cozy British mystery series featuring his wonderful, life-loving star of the show–Hilda. It’s a funny, adventurous tale with twists, turns and more than a dollop of shenanigans. Available in ebook and print, you can order your copy over on Amazon UK. Book I is currently free on Kindle Unlimited (click the link for a free preview).

A very, very happy publishing day to Mr. Nevins. I was fortunate enough to read some early drafts of his novel and to meet Hilda and her gang. She will leave a twinkle in your eye at her antics and a warm feeling in your heart. Or perhaps that’s just the coffee she spilled all over your new shirt. No matter.

To read more about Mike, and his life story of living with disability with clever humor, song and dance, along with his adventures in writing and screenplays, check out his bio here: https://howcaring.home.blog/about-me/

Happy reading and I hope you enjoy meeting Hilda as much as me!
