Cover Poll update

I’ve received about 100 responses on the covers, so far, and it’s neck-and-neck.

There is still time for you to register your preference and influence the final decision.

Tillie is drawn into an adventure that ends up being more than she bargained for while rooting out the truth about a supposedly accidental death.

BONUS: Recipe Included!
———————————————
Matilda Thistlethwaite revisits a youthful dream and joins the local community choir.

She is pleasantly surprised when she is chosen as the new soloist and dismayed when she becomes a target of jealousy and soon finds herself embroiled in yet another mysterious crime.

When the choir director deviates from the chorale’s annual program and chooses new music, as well as a new soloist, the resident diva is incensed.

As a newcomer, Tillie remains unaware of the dangerous undercurrents swirling around her until she hears the shocking news of the lead soprano’s accidental death.

When making a condolence call on the woman’s stepson, her detective instincts kick in and she is convinced the death is no accident. She is soon on the trail of a killer.

Despite her crime-solving track record, will Tillie get in over her head, this time? She soon discovers that justice isn’t as simple as it had seemed.

A charming page-turner, perfect for fans of Jan Karon, Agatha Christie and Dorothy Gilman.

Progress Report: A Body in the Belfry Launch Update

In response to the generous, encouraging fans who have asked about my upcoming release in the First Ladies Club series, I am happy to report “A Body in the Belfry” is on track for an early release.

Thanks to hard work by my beta readers and editors, I am reviewing the proof copy this weekend and anticipate publication of the print version to happen mid-November, just in time for Christmas gift-giving ;-).

The digital version for Kindle and other ebook-readers will be in pre-order until December.

There is still time to join my launch team and receive a free Advance Review Copy (ARC) in exchange for an honest review.  If you would like to participate and are willing to read and post your review when the print copy releases in November, drop me an email, telling me a little about yourself, to: jbhawker@jbhawker.com and I will send you a PDF copy of the book.

Besides posting reviews on Amazon, members of a launch team are encouraged to promote a book on social media and share with family and friends.

No writer can be a success without the generous support of fans like you.

Thanks so much.
