Book Club Fun
Book Clubs are the best! I had a wonderful evening chatting with the Half Sour Book Club in Chicago. To celebrate MURDER IN AN IRISH PUB they had brown bread, curried chips, Barry's tea and a poker hand spread. How cool is that? #Mysteries #CarleneOConnor #Irish #MaryCarter #murdermystery #cozymystery #Ireland

Who's Listening?
Audiobooks are a great activity, whether alone, with a date, spouse, or family members. Curl up by the fireplace, grab a mug of hot cocoa (or whiskey, or wine) and listen to a story. I'm thrilled that all of my mysteries are available on audio for listeners everywhere. Cheers! #IrishVillageMysteries #MaryCarter #cozymystery #Mystery #Ireland #Christmas

FALLing in love
I've been so busy writing, many great books coming out, so it becomes extremely important to take the time to find joy in the little moments. That's my plan as I get older, it's no longer the big ticket things I bank on for happiness, it's the daily moments. Walking my dog, soaking in the fall leaves, reading a good book, learning something new, enjoying my morning coffee. They add up. Hope you're enjoying the moments too and here is what's on the agenda and coming soon: CHRI
