*************************
Regency Christmas novella.
Abigail can’t explain, even to herself, why she married Derek after he’d asked her to wait for him and then became engaged to someone else. If his poor fiancée had not died, he would now be wed to her instead of Abigail. But then Abigail begins uncovering some of the secrets that are a part of her husband’s life and wonders if perhaps there is hope for their marriage after all.
Derek, Lord Westdale, wasn’t sure why Abigail married him; she obviously despised him. On the other hand, he knew exactly why he was marrying her: she was the only woman he would ever love, despite his having offered marriage to another. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to convince Abigail that he never really betrayed her after all.
Can their decoding of a secret Christmas cipher bring an end to their misunderstandings and help them create their own special Christmas tradition?

Hello!
Thankyou for taking the time to look at my book.
Are you fed up with paying so much for mushrooms at the store? There has to be a cheaper way to get them, right? Well, there is – you can simply grow your own! Mycology (growing mushrooms) can be as easy or complicated as you like, depending on the route you take, but the end results are most certainly worth the effort involved.
The great thing about growing your own mushrooms, is that you can do it right inside your own home or backyard. It’s a great project for families and foodies alike, and all you need to start off is this book, a specialist mushroom growing kit, and a small space in which to grow them!
In this book I aim to teach you the basics that you need to know to grow mushrooms at home. You’ll take a step back in time and learn about the history of mushrooms as food, and why it has taken centuries for home mushroom growing to really catch on. I’ll let you know exactly which are the best types of mushrooms for you to start with. If you aren’t sure what tools you’ll need, don’t worry – this book has that covered too. And I’ll explain how to make sure that your mushrooms grow quickly and pest free, and the best ways to harvest, preserve and store your crop.
But where should you grow your mushrooms? That’s a good question! Contained within the pages of this book are tips on how to set up a mushroom patch in your back yard, as well as how to grow them inside. Is it really better to grow them completely in the dark? You are about to find out!
So, whether you like shiitakes, portobellos or oyster mushrooms, stop buying them in stores. I’ll teach you how to grow your own and keep your entire family well supplied.
In as little as a few weeks you can have the perfect fresh mushrooms grown and ready to eat. Yum!
This easy to read, beginners book, summarizes the essential information I have learned over the years, and is written to help you decide if mycology is for you, and if so, which route to take.
Best wishes,
Frank

*************************
ix naïve guests plus revenge served cold equals a recipe for disaster…
Lila Carmichael may be a rich and famous comedienne, but she’s hidden her greatest talent from her adoring fans—her ability to simmer, spice and serve a carefully constructed tour de force at a cozy reunion on her private island in the Pacific Northwest.
Six unsuspecting guests have forgotten the innocent little crimes they committed against poor, gullible Lila fifteen years ago in college. All are teetering on the brink of ruin, hoping the famous Lila will come to their rescue. But their desperation plays them right into her hand.
One by one, Lila’s guests are figuratively killed off in a vicious parlor game called Wolves. And revenge turns bittersweet when the weekend is over…and one guest is dead for real.
Editorial Reviews:
“Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold in this fast-paced, thrilling story. Lila Carmichael is the Queen of Comedy, a wealthy TV actress with legions of adoring fans, who capitalizes on her less-than-gorgeous looks and snarky sense of humor…But Lila hasn’t forgotten how cruel they were to her when she was a heavy, unhappy preacher’s daughter too naive to know they were using her. And now she’s got them trapped right where she wants them, and she turns them on each other, bringing to light their greed and the dark secrets they’ve been keeping all these years. Before the weekend is over, one of them will end up dead…a page-turning thrill-ride that will have readers holding their breath the whole way through.” — Publishers Weekly
“Take a remote island setting and an ill-fated reunion, throw in a few hot tempers, and a dash of revenge, and you end up with murder…and a puzzle that mystery lovers will relish unraveling. C. S. Lakin delivers readers a real page-turner with “Innocent Little Crimes,” an engaging whodunit that pulls readers in from the first page. Who knew reunions could be so deadly?” —Elizabeth Craig, author of Quilt or Innocence
“This psychological thriller is reminiscent of Agatha Christie, the best-selling novelist of all time. The pacing is excellent and keeps you on the edge. Lakin’s word pictures are so good you’ll think you’re watching a movie. This is definitely a novel that needs to be a permanent resident in your collection because you’ll want to read it over and over—the greatest compliment any book can ever get.” —Ken Farmer, author of Black Eagle Force
“Combine one part Agatha Christie, one part Lord of the Flies and a hefty measure of Roseanne Barr. Blend with strong character development, excellent writing, a solid story and glaze liberally with selfish human nature. Yields one fine serving of Innocent Little Crimes.” —Claude Bouchard, bestselling author of Vigilante
“C. S. Lakin’s Innocent Little Crimes will make you think twice before attending your next reunion. Most people stay the same year after year… but some don’t.” —Kirkus MacGowan, author of The Fall of Billy Hutching
