RELEASE DAY: Kerosene, Karaoke, & Kleptos Is Here!

June 28, 2026

Dear Reader,

Today is the day!

KEROSENE, KARAOKE, & KLEPTOS is officially available in Kindle Unlimited, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this new adventure with you.

Historical Society’s elegant tea fundraiser is supposed to be the social event of the season.

Fancy hats.


Sweet tea.
Small-town gossip.

Then Southern etiquette expert Florence Sparks winds up dead.

Before long, Mae West Sharp and the Laundry Club Ladies find themselves untangling a mystery filled with secrets, shifting friendships, suspicious seating charts, and enough gossip to keep the town talking for years.

If you’ve ever laughed with Dottie, followed Mae through a murder investigation, or wished you could sit on a campground porch in Normal, this book is for you.

Thank you for every preorder, every review, every email, every social media comment, and every time you’ve recommended my books to a friend. You are the reason I get to keep returning to Normal and sharing these stories.

Once you’ve finished reading, I’d love if you’d leave a review. Reviews help other cozy mystery readers discover the series and mean more than you know.

Now pour yourself a cup of coffee (or sweet tea), settle into your favorite chair, and enjoy your trip back to Normal.

Happy Reading!

❤️ Tonya

P.S. Don’t forget to reply and tell me your favorite Laundry Club Lady moment after you’ve read the book!

 


THE LAUNDRY CLUB LADIES CRUISE – Part 1 of 6 launches January 1!

June 26, 2026

THE LAUNDRY CLUB LADIES CRUISE – Part 1 of 6 launches January 1!
Cozy mystery + a six-month cruise + a smidgen of homicide = daily fun you won’t want to miss.

In this brand-new Camper & Criminals Cozy Mystery ADVENTURE, Mae West and the Laundry Club Ladies swap their land-locked sleuthing in Normal, Kentucky for life aboard a luxury cruise ship. What starts as a bucket-list getaway quickly turns into a wave-tossed mix of mystery, mishaps, and murder. Each month’s novella is made up of daily episodes—six months, six parts, six times the laughs and intrigue!

Part 1: January daily episodes
Part 2: February daily episodes
Part 3: March daily episodes
Part 4: April daily episodes
Part 5: May daily episodes
Part 6: June daily episodes
Here’s how it works:

A FREE episode will post on my website every single day from January 1 through June 30, 2027.
For the first 10 days, the episodes will build up so everyone has a chance to jump on board. After that, the current day’s episode will be available for 24 hours (4 a.m. Eastern to 4 a.m. Eastern).

Want to binge-read or catch up? Each month’s worth of episodes will be bundled into an e-novella—available exclusively on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited.

When the final episode airs, the complete six-month story line will be available through the SIX novellas.

Grab your deck chair, a fruity drink, and your sleuthing notebook—the Laundry Club Ladies are setting sail, and you’re invited to come along for every twist, turn, and shocking reveal!
