C. Hope Clark is a valued Winning Writers sponsor |
|
|
|
|
|
Most
writers recognize C. Hope Clark as the stalwart editor of FundsforWriters.
Her 20-year history of providing contests, markets, grants, and
financial opportunity for writers is grounded in the industry.
After all, Writer's Digest chose FundsforWriters for its "101 Best
Websites for Writers" list for each of the past 19 years. That's
solid!
But Hope's earning some serious street cred as a mystery novelist.
Edisto Tidings
just released!
The
6th in The Edisto Island Mysteries, Edisto Tidings arrives in time for
holiday gift giving.
When
the discovery of a body on a vacant lot puts an end to Police Chief
Callie Morgan’s surprise birthday party, Christmas week loses some of
its charm. Not only does she know the dead man, he’s a relation...of
sorts.
Soon
she’s juggling a murder investigation and a rash of burglaries that may
have been committed by the mythical Edisto Santa—a holiday secret
Santa, who may have taken a page from Robin Hood’s book and begun
robbing from the tourist rich and giving to the local poor.
Since
the suspects for both crimes are Edisto residents, no matter how
delicately Callie treads, this holiday season will pit Callie against
her beloved Edisto and leave her feeling like the Grinch, Scrooge, and
Old Man Potter rolled into one. But she has no choice. Murder trumps
Santa.
What they say
about Hope's stories
"C. Hope Clark
brings to life characters that linger in your mind long after the last
page is turned." -
NYTimes bestselling author Karen White
Prepare to be absorbed by Clark's crisp writing and compelling
storytelling. This is one you don't want to miss!" - Carolyn Haines, USA
Today bestselling author of three mystery series & over 80 books
"Those who haven't read any of C. Hope Clark's books are
short-changing themselves. You can't begin a C. Hope Clark book and
then put it down." - Clay Stafford, author / filmmaker, founder of Killer Nashville
conference and publisher of Killer Nashville Magazine.
"Hope Clark has created another fascinating heroine in Police
Chief Callie Morgan. The books are fast-paced mysteries set against the
backdrop of a tiny South Carolina island where murder never happens—or
so the locals would like to believe. I'm happy to recommend
it." -
Kathryn R. Wall, the Bay Tanner mysteries, St. Martin's Press
Murder at the beach
One
book or all six, make the Edisto Island Mysteries a part of your
holiday gift-giving.
