Interview with the Author
Q - So, what makes the Annabelle Archer series special?
A - The Annabelle Archer 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 with a little romance and a lot of laughs. You'll find the series focuses on murder mystery and amateur sleuth genre overall, with a jewelry heist caper 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 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
- Review To A Kill
- Death On The Aisle
-Night of the Living Wed
Q - So, why should readers give these books a try?
A - Because the Annabelle Archer series is fun, light, and the perfect escape or beach reading. The series has hit the top ten bestsellers list on Kindle for Cozy Mysteries and Women Sleuths. Plus, the first book in the series won the Agatha Award for the Best First Novel.
Thanks for reading!
