Product Description
Now readers can join China Bayles in ten puzzling cases-and get a taste of her world. This delightful collection features loads of wonderful herbal tidbits on everything from rosemary to feverfew to catnip; recipes for such to-die-for dishes as a Deadly Chocolate Valentine, Ruby's Applesauce Mint Bread, China's Five-Spice Chicken and Veggie Stir-Fry, and McQuaid's Tex Mex-and a host of creative ideas for garden and home. It's a one-of-a-kind collection featuring a one-of-a-kind sleuth-who's worth spending some "quality thyme" with!

Countdown

8:20 AM PDT, March 30, 2008
Tuesday’s the day. The big day. April 1. Launch day for Nightshade.

But I haven’t been sitting around, twiddling my thumbs and waiting. I’ve been out and about. Actually, I was in Pearland (a Houston suburb), talking to the Red Hats. What a great bunch of gals, all decked out in those wild and wonderful red and purple hats. Virtually, I was in a lot of places in cyberspace. You can follow my trail and scope out where I’m headed next week on the blog tour calendar. It might be worth it to you--we’re giving away free copies of NIGHTSHADE. I’ve especially enjoyed the comments and conversation following the guest posts. Thanks to all those who’ve taken part!

Oh, and if you live in Texas, maybe I’ll be in your neck of the woods this month. Find out here.

There will be discussions of China's mysteries and plants (today's post is on the nightshade plant family) and 15 chances to win a copy of NIGHTSHADE. Plus, you'll get to meet some really fascinating bloggers--herb farmers, gardeners, naturalists, mystery authors, and more. Check out the tour calendar for all the details.
