Life's Adventures: A Birthday Celebration

My sister and I have an adventure twice a year when we enjoy a chocolate martini, once in the spring for her birthday and again in the fall for my birthday at the Hassayampa Inn in Prescott, Arizona in the saloon called the Peacock Room. This tradition is what led to the cozy mystery series I’m writing with co-author Joyce Proell. 

You might not consider sharing chocolate martinis to celebrate a birthday as an adventure, but we've met so many fun people and discovered some interesting tidbits about the town, the saloon, and our imagination. We never know what adventure awaits us...but can always count on the great martinis that Huck creates.

Our fictional Chocolate Martini Sisters are Emma (Em) Banefield and Nicole (Nic) Earp. Nic's second ex-husband, Rodney Earp, is a distant cousin to the famous Earp brothers. The sisters find a lot more murder and mayhem at the Dulce Inn in our fictional town of Wyatt, Arizona than my sister and I find in the Peacock Room!

Nic is the younger sister and prone to jumping to conclusions when she and Em are following the clues to catch the murderer. Em is an analytical sleuth, more cautious than Nic. Both sisters are keen observers and love to people-watch. Nic is a freelance travel writer and ex-teacher, carefree and arty in her style. She loves hats. Em’s style is classic. As of soon-to-be published book 4, Nic has gone into business...a yoga studio. Em is now a published author. But chasing killers and solving the crime still takes up much of their time.

In the next couple of months, we'll be rolling out book 4, Birds, Puppies, and Murder. In the meantime, if you haven't read books 1-3...well...why not?
