Beneath Missouri Stars (book #11 in the quilting cozy series) will be released by C&T Publishing in May. To preorder from Amazon at the guaranteed price, click here: Beneath Missouri Stars: a quilting cozy.
A renowned country music singer schedules a private concert at the Cunningham Village Retirement Community, but when a young woman is murdered, Sarah and her cohorts are hot on the case.
Aging with grace and spunk, Sarah takes on everything from quilting and friendship to murders and the demands of the twenty-first century with aplomb in this fun cozy mystery series.
And, as always, this eleventh installment of the quilting cozy mystery series, offers lots of quilting and includes the pattern for the cover quilt.

I apologize for the past six weeks of blog silence. I’ve been very busy, but you might be pleased with what I’ve been busy doing. I’ll just give you this one hint: Beneath Missouri Stars may not be the last you see of Sarah and Sophie!
I want to welcome all my new followers. When you have a few minutes, please read through some of my previous blogs where I’ve not only talked about the books but also my own quilting. (See Menu for Blog Posts).
I wish you incredible holidays and please keep the emails coming. I love hearing from my readers and blog followers. Leave comments below or just drop me a line on QuiltingCozy@gmail.com.
My very best wishes to all,

I am currently reading Beneath Missouri Stars. Please keep the books coming. I love this series.
Thank you for your comment, Monique. I’m glad you are enjoying the series and there will be more! At least one…
Stay safe in these troubling times. My best wishes, Carol
My order of your 11th book is hopefully arriving this weekend! In the midst of all that’s going on in our world, I look forward to somewhat of an escape from the reality we are currently experiencing. Hope you continue to do well and write more wonderful books!

Thank you Jane. I’ve been careful not to write any of what’s going on in our world into the lives of Sarah and Sophie. They deserve better. I hope your book gets there in time for the weekend. Best wishes to you and yours. Carol
Thank you Jane. I hope you and yours are doing well also through this as well. I never expected to see such drastic changes in our lifestyle. One day at a time…
I appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you so much for taking time out for all of us. You are definitely a special lady in many ways. Let us know when baby quilts may be available. We are well, and hope the very same for you. A friend, Carolyn
Hi Carolyn,
Happy to hear from you. Yes, I’m doing fine…my puppies and I are making the best of our private time. I’m just a bit reclusive myself so this staying home isn’t all bad, at least for me. Hope you are doing well. I’ll post the baby quilts one of these days. I’m way behind on blogging but plan to get to that this week. Book #12 is scheduled for release in May…not sure if the world situation might detain publication. Anyway, nice hearing from you and thank you for your kind words.
Very best wishes,
Carol
p.s. Did I ever answer your question about kindle? Yes, it will be on kindle as soon as it’s available in print.
Thank you. Am looking forward to getting this. I, too, am a bit reclusive, I love to study history and God’s Word; and connect with friends who do that too, and do cooking for my husband and myself. So I have been mostly content during this time of safe sheltering. Of course I’m nearly 77 so that probably has a bit to do with it too, (LOL) but I do love the sanctuary of home. I miss seeing my wonderful family, daughters, son, granddaughters, and great grandson. I still see my mama (just turned 95) a day or so a week. She and my sister share a home, so my sister has become her main care giver. Try and relieve her as much as possible. Didn’t mean to bend your ear…but, again thank you for getting back with me.
You didn’t bend my ear one bit! I loved hearing about your life and am so happy to hear you have your mama still living. What a blessing! Feel free to drop me a line any time. You might want to use my email so you don’t have to go in through the website: QuiltingCozy@gmail.com. Take good care during this unusual time. My very best wishes to you and your family.
Blessings, Carol
Hi Carol. I too have read everyone of these and have loved them. You are a talented writer. Am looking so forward to May and the release of this book. I am wondering if it may also be ordered for kindle. I have all of the others on my kindle, and I enjoy reading on it. Again, thank you for writing another book for all of us. Carolyn Aubert
Hi Carolyn, It’s so good to hear from you. It’s been a while and I hope you are doing well and staying safe. Yes, as always Amazon will have it on Kindle. There will be one more but I don’t know when it’s coming out…probably not for many months. I’ve been inside for over four weeks, having food delivered, and spending my time sewing. I’ve been making baby quilts and am thinking about opening an Etsy.com shop for them. Hope all is well on your end. This too will pass!
Fondly,
Carol (QuiltingCozy@gmail.com)
I’ve pre-ordered, can’t to read another book about Sarah! Carol, I just love your Missouri Star quilt too!
Hi Wanda, so good to hear from you again. Thank you for pre-ordering and I love the quilt too. I enjoyed working with these beautiful fabrics. I hope you enjoy the book as well, and I look forward to hearing from you once you read it. Thank you for staying in touch. Feel free to drop me a line on my email at QuiltingCozy@gmail.com and let me know how you’re doing. Best wishes for the holidays, Carol
So happy to hear this news. Your quilting is awesome, but…so is your writing. Will certainly be looking forward to Sarah and Sophie once again. I have read all of your books to date, and enjoy them immensely. So again, looking forward to this publication in May.
Hi Carolyn, I so appreciate the loyalty you have shown over the years. When I’m writing, it’s just me and my computer, and it’s such a reward to hear from readers who enjoy the books and continue to stand by me. My very best wishes to you, Carolyn. Have great holidays and I look forward to hearing how you like the book. (QuiltingCozy@gmail.com). Carol
I’m so excited to be able to read more about Sarah and Sophie! I can’t wait!
Thank you, Mary Lou. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series. These characters have become a part of my life. Have great holidays. Carol
Beautiful blue cover and quilt – I know all your readers will be happy that Sophie and Sarah are “at it again” with more adventures waiting in the wings.
Love, Pam
Yes, that quilt photo came out really nice on the cover. Thank you, sister, for all your support. Love!
Please keep the series coming. It is the perfect reading as I crawl in bed at night to relax before bed. I’ve loved each one!
Hi Suzie, and that’s exactly what I consider ‘perfect reading’ — the book I can read in bed and not be frightened out of my wits –just ‘easy reading.’ Thank you for your comments and for reading my books. Best wishes, Carol
Yay!!! So happy to hear this great news 🙂 I look forward to it’s release! Thanks for continuing the series 🙂

Hi Ebe, I’ve enjoyed writing this book (all of them actually!). Sophie and Sarah seem like friends to me and I miss them when I’m not writing. Thank you for reading them and for following my blog. Best wishes, Carol
