Around the Fire with Fair Adventures and Author Susie Black.

Welcome back to Around the Fire. It's been a lovely week in Northern New Jersey. Warm days and cool nights make me very happy. I even went to the NJ State Fair for the first time in years. The first stop was the goat barn, where goaties bleated in all sizes and colors. Goats are one of my favorite animals. When I lived on the farm, my goat was named Abigail. Next up were the chickens. The roosters kept up a chorus the entire time. What an amazing array of breeds. Who knew? The cow barn. As I mentioned above, I lived on a farm. I was a working dairy back in the mid to late 70s. Yes, I'm that old. Let me tell you. These cows are not the ones I remembered. They were huge! Some I couldn't see over their backs. There was one, though. She decided my shirt looked better than her hay. We had a tug-of-war. I did win, but barely because I was laughing so hard. When I finally got it back without a complete wardrobe malfunction, bossy decided I tasted good too. She licked my hand while onlookers laughed. They didn't think it was so funny when I offered to shake hands with several. Good thing there were wash stations readily available. Well, the fun's not over yet. Today's guest is Susie Black. She visited a while ago, but now has a new mystery series. Susie's style is mystery with a dose of humor on the side.

Amateur Women Slueths 

The Case of the Croaked Coach Blurb 

Back Cover
There wasn’t an honest bone in Buzz Bixby’s body. The Encino High School’s head football coach was an equal-opportunity scoundrel. Bixby cheated and lied his way to the top and screwed anyone and everyone in his wake. So, the question wasn’t who wanted the bastard dead. The question was, who didn’t? Student reporter Hannah White’s interview with the coach is a nonstarter when she discovers varsity football hero Dean Snyder standing over Bixby’s battered corpse holding a bloody trophy. Despite how guilty Dean looks, Hannah is convinced he’s innocent. When Snyder is arrested for Bixby’s murder, the wisecracking, irreverent amateur sleuth jumps into action to flesh out the real killer. But the trail has more twists and turns than a slinky, and nothing turns out how Hannah thinks it will as she tangles with a clever killer hellbent on revenge.

Named Best US Author of the Year by N. N. Lights Book Heaven, award-winning cozy mystery author Susie Black was born in the Big Apple but now calls sunny Southern California home. Like the protagonist in her Fashion & Foul Play Mystery Series, Susie is a successful apparel sales executive. Susie began telling stories as soon as she learned to talk. Now she’s telling all the stories from her garment industry experiences in humorous mysteries.  She reads, writes, and speaks Spanish, albeit with an accent that sounds like Mildred from Michigan went on a Mexican vacation and is trying to fit in with the locals. Since life without pizza and ice cream as her core food groups wouldn’t be worth living, she’s a dedicated walker to keep her girlish figure. A voracious reader, she’s also an avid stamp collector. Susie lives with a highly intelligent man and has one incredibly brainy but smart-aleck adult son who inexplicably blames his sarcasm on an inherited genetic defect.
