NOTE TO CLEO

Absolutely love your books! So when is the cookbook coming out with all the recipes together? :)

Cleo's Reply:

HELLO MONTANA!

Glennda - Lol on the cookbook, so many readers have asked that question, and I thank you for the support. Perhaps one day, I will create a little novelty cookbook. For now, however, my plate is full with writing the fiction that inspires the recipes. :)

Blessings to you, Glennda. Thank you for asking and thank you especially for reading my books. That is the best gift you can give to any author, and I appreciate it!

Aw, thanks for the very kind comment. I'm happy to say that the next CM title will be published this August. The title is a A BREW TO A KILL. I'm also happy to inform you that there are many more Coffeehouse Mystery books on the way. As I've said for years on this board -- as long as you keep reading, I'll keep writing. :)

Cleo's reply - Belated thank you for the lovely note. I hope you enjoyed your holidays, too!

Bogus Bookseller

Echo the previous post. Where are Jack and Pen? Miss them so much. Glad to hear it. R Daphne, Massachusetts

Cleo's reply - See my answer to the reader who asked this question in the message below. Thank you, Daphne!

Love Your Books!

I absolutely love your books and have re-read them several times, enjoying them more each time! I can hardly wait for the next one!

Cleo's reply: Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to stop by and let me know that. It means a lot to me. Hearing that you're re-reading the books is especially interesting--and gratifying. :) I've been hearing that lately from readers, and (I think) it's an indication that the characters are like friends. They certainly are to me and my husband, Marc, who writes the books with me, which is why I thank you for sharing that, too!

Warmest java wishes

Note to Cleo!

Thanks for the free coffee! I am really enjoying the "Dancing Goats" blend that I won. It's smoooooooth! :) Delicious!

Cleo's reply:

Wonderful to hear that, thank you for letting me know! For anyone who's wondering what we're talking about, I give away a free package of my current "coffee pick" to my readers via a weekly random drawing.

The whole thing started years ago as a way for me to share some of my ongoing coffee research (for my Coffeehouse Mysteries) via this website. "Dancing Goats" was my fall coffee pick. More info below pasted from my main page...

My Coffee Pick

for Fall 2011 was...

 

DANCING 
GOATS

Named as a tribute to the legend of how coffee was discovered*, this blend is a beautifully balanced, rich and bold, yet satisfyingly smooth with subtle notes of caramel and spice. To learn more about this coffee, roasted by Batdorf and Bronson coffee company, click here, and...

 

Drink with joy!

Haunted Bookshop Query

Have been trying to find "Bogus Bookseller" ...I'm going through withdrawal!!

Jill, Illinois

Cleo's reply:

Hi, Jill - First of all, I'd like to thank you for your support as a reader. It means a lot to me (and Jack and Pen :)). 

      For anyone who is wondering what Jill is asking about, here's the skinny (as Jack would say). Since 2004, I have been writing a series of books for Penguin called The Haunted Bookshop Mysteries, and I am under contract for many more in this series, no worries. :)
 

THE 
HAUNTED BOOKSHOP 
MYSTERIES

This series of murder mysteries is set in a Rhode Island bookshop near the Atlantic Ocean (...you can smell the sea salt in the air. :)) Pen is a widow with a young boy. She moves to New England after the suicide of her husband and joins her Aunt Sadie in the running of a family bookstore.

As soon as Pen arrives, she begins working to revive the dying business and remodel the place. (Please do remember that my series began eight years ago, waaay back in 2004. :)) 

The remodeling in the bookshop rouses the spirit of a hardboiled detective who died on the premises many years ago. The ghost (Jack) and the widow (Mrs. Penelope McClure) have a rocky relationship at first, but they find common ground; and when murders begin to happen in the small town of Quindicott, RI, Pen calls on Jack the friendly ghost PI to help her. After all, murder was Jack's business in life.  Why shouldn't he take it up in his afterlife?

You can find out more about this series of books by clicking this link RIGHT HERE and jumping to the Haunted Bookshop page of this website.

Spirited
good wishes,

~ Cleo

Hello, I can't seem to bring up your recipe for Chocolate-Chip Cobbler. Could you please help me?

Tilda Heidfwelberg 

Love it! Love it! Love it!

I absolutely love your coffehouse series and have been hooked since the first book...so excited to see another book! Keep up the amazing job and I'll continue to follow the Coffeehouse Crew!

Cleo's reply: Thank you! (Apologies for the short reply, but I'm under deadline. Just wanted you to know I saw your note and appreciate it!)

I am hooked.....

I truly hope you keep writing the Coffeehouse Mysteries. I just finished French Pressed, and absolutely loved it as well as ALL of the others before it. The coffee tips you include prompted me to get my own espresso machine for the house. (lol) You are a very talented writer who keeps me guessing and I love it! I could very easily re-read every one of your books. Keep up the great work; I'm thoroughly enjoying it. :)

Cleo's reply: Thank you! French Pressed is a wonderful title, and one of my favorites in the series -- primarily because of Clare's very important decision (that it took her 5 books to make). I'm very happy to know that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to drop by my board to let me know. 

Warmest java wishes,

Java's Avatar

How come Java the cat doesn't have her own avatar on this website? After all, she is part of the story even though she is not all of the novels.

Cleo's reply:

LOL! Well, I'm still working on Esther, Tucker, and Gardner, too. Then, of couse, I'll have to do the Fish Squad...and Franco. But you have a good point. So I'lll be adding Java (and Frothy) to the list. Thanks for the cat-lover note! You know I'm one, too. XXOXOX :)

Next Coffeehouse Mystery?

When will the next Coffeehouse mystery be published and what is the name?

Cleo's reply: Stay tuned... more in my next newsletter...

Oh good!

Glad to know there are more books in the series. I just finished the first one and enjoyed it. Nice to know there are more!

Cleo's reply -

Given your comment, I have to say: I'm very happy you found my website. I can imagine going to a bookstore that does not carry my entire Coffeehouse Mystery or Haunted Bookshop back list of books. In such a case, unless you ask a staff member, I can see where you might not realize there are indeed... 

Six (6) Books in my Haunted Bookshop series.
To read more about each title,

website by clicking here.

There are also...

Ten (10) books in my Coffeehouse Mystery
series. To read more about each one,

Thanks again for dropping

Drink (and read)

Okay so I realize the last Coffeehouse book (Murder by Mocha) just came out in August, but I cannot wait for the next book!!! I really enjoy these books. Coffee and reading are two of my very favorite things. My sister and I both read them and try to figure out the bad guy together. I love your recipes as well. They are GREAT!!!

Note to Cleo - Struffoli Recipe Question

Hi Cleo

Loyal reader and fan of all the Coffeehouse Mysteries. I'm awaiting the arrival of Murder by Mocha and drooling over those delicious looking chocolate cookies!! I wrote awhile back wondering if you had a struffoli recipe anywhere but I never could find it. Anyway I can get it? Thanks again for great mysteries, awesome recipes and wonderful characters.

Tracy
New Yorker for life even if I live in PA now!

Cleo's reply:

Hi, Tracy, thank you so much for buying and reading my books. That means a lot to me. (I hope you'll drop back after you read Murder by Mocha and let me know how you like it.) As for your question...

For anyone wondering what "struffoli" is,
see my photo below...

Your amazing cornbread

Cleo,

Just wanted to let you know that I've made the cornbread recipe you posted on Mystery Lover's Kitchen twice now. The first time I used the orange zest. Yesterday when I made it for the second time, I didn't have an orange, so I used 4 tablespoons of orange marmalade instead. It was really good with just the right amount of an orange taste. Thanks for the recipe. I'll be using it with and without the orange flavor from now on...

Sue (in Iowa)

Cleo's reply...

Thank you so much, Sue! I'm delighted to hear it, and the marmalade idea is wonderful for anyone who doesn't have fresh oranges handy.

For everyone who missed the recipe we're talking about, click the link below to download a free recipe PDF and...

Eat with joy!

NOTE TO CLEO - Recipe Question

Hi Cleo!

I love all of your books, and the recipes included! I've scoured your website for the Vietnamese Slaw recipe that is included in one of your books (not sure exactly which), but have come up empty. I remember it has fish sauce in it, and I also remember it is DIVINE! I made it while reading the book, forgot to copy down the recipe, and then returned book to library. :( Please let me know where I can find it....

Desperately Seeking Slaw
(Jentri) in California

Cleo's Reply:

Hi, Jentri!

Thank you so much for posting. I am thrilled to hear that you are enjoying my books and also delighted to hear that you like the recipes, too. Cheers!

     The slaw recipe that you are seeking (Clare's Sweet and Tangy Thai-Style Coleslaw) is indeed delicious (and, you're right, could easily have been called Vietnamese-inspired!). You will find that recipe in my 9th Coffeehouse Mystery: Roast Mortem. 

    The book includes many other recipes, as well, including a Thai-Style Dipping Sauce, which is the base for Clare's Slaw as well as a Thai-Style Seafood Sauce. 

     Roast Mortem, which began its life as a bestselling hardcover, is now available in paperback form and very affordable. To see some of the other featured recipes in the book (along with a few photos of the end results), click here or on the link below, which will open an illustrated PDF.

     The mystery is an entertaining one, taking Clare Cosi (my amateur sleuth) into the lives of New York City firefighters as she attempts to answer the question of who's torching local coffee shops--a crime of arson that leads to murder. To read more about Roast Mortem or to purchase it, click here or here or here.

     I do share many bonus recipes right here on my website. The free, illustrated recipes that you see on my site are extras that I giveaway happily as a gift to my readers.

     Most of my recipes, however, are published already in my books, which is why I don't need to share them here. (My readers already have them, lol!) 

     I do realize that you borrowed the book from the library and returned it, but I also hope that you will consider it worth a little more than the price of an elaboate greeting card (no kidding) to purchase my book in paperback as a keeper for your shelf.

    Thank you again for posting, Jentri, and thank you especially for reading my books. I wish you and your loved ones a...

  Happy Lunar New Year!

question about the newsletter

Hi Cleo,

Hope your New Year is going well! I have a quick question about your terrific newsletter...do I need to sign up every month to be included in the coffee drawing and to receive the newsletter? Thanks so much for 2 great series and now the newsletter...not sure you do it all but I'm glad that you do.

Nancy from Michigan

Cleo's reply:

Hi, Nancy -- You don't need to sign up every month or every week. You need to sign up only once for my newsletter, which, yes indeed, I write myself just as I'm writing this now. (For those of you wondering how to sign up for my monthly newsletter, simply write an e-mail that says "Sign me up" and send it to this address: CoffeehouseMystery @ gmail.com.) 

Again, you need to send only one e-mail and you are signed up for my monthly newsletter and you are also signed up for my weekly coffee drawings. The only thing that would keep you from being entered in my weekly coffee drawings is if you unsubscribed from the newsletter because every week the winner is randomly selected from active subscribers only. I hope that answers your question, Nancy. Thanks for dropping by and thank you especially for reading by books!

Warmest java wishes,

The Haunted Bookshop novels are close to my heart, and I hope you enjoy them, too. They're very different from the Coffeeouse Mystery series and not all readers enjoy both, but if you do, I thank you for your support.

(For anyone who is curious about these books, The Ghost and Mrs. McClure is the first in my Haunted Bookshop Mystery series. Find out more about this title or purcase it by clicking here.)
