Interview with the Author
Q - So, what makes the Annabelle Archer series special?
A - The Annabelle Archer wedding planner mysteries are based on my 20 plus years of planning society weddings in Washington, DC. That means I've seen tons of crazy things happen, and I've worked with lots of colorful characters. I bring that light-hearted sense of fun and zany characters into the novels. A lot of the humorous details I include in my books actually happened at my weddings! And since the books are about weddings, there is plenty of food, décor, and behind the scenes details.
The Annabelle Archer books are fast-paced cozy mysteries featuring a female protagonist with a little romance and comedy thrown in. You'll find the series focuses on murder mystery and amateur sleuth genre overall, with a jewelry heist caper and ghost story in the mix to keep things interesting!
Q - What order should I read the books in?
A - You won't be lost if you read the books in this cozy mystery series out of order but if you do want to read them in order, I'd suggest the following sequence:
- Better Off Wed
- For Better Or Hearse
- Dead Ringer -- A Novella
- Review To A Kill
- Death On The Aisle
-Night of the Living Wed--A Novella
-Groomed for Murder
