Callie Stone is having a tough week. Fired from her job as an event planner in New York, she returns to her hometown of Skinner, Oregon for a much needed vacation. However, this time off is anything but restful when Callie assists an old friend by taking over a beauty pageant in which the contenders are trying to out diva each other for the title of Skinner Slug Queen. When one of the participants is found dead backstage, Callie is tossed between her mother’s vegetarian stews, her best friend’s attractive ex-husband and a pageant full of cross-dressing contestants.

Crowning the Slug Queen is the first book in a new cozy mystery series set in quirky Skinner, Oregon, a town in the Pacific Northwest where it’s almost impossible to keep a count of the number of rain storms, coffee shops or Birkenstocks.

Parents invest thousands of dollars on costumes and private coaches to give their children a competitive edge. Countless hours are spent by profes... [Read More]
