Dear ,

Thank you so much for helping me with cover options last week. So many of you reached out personally to explain why you felt the way you did. I loved hearing from you. The vast majority of voters (70/30) preferred the vector cover, though I know she doesn't quite look 40-something. I'll be making a few small tweaks before a cover reveal in a few weeks.

Now, on to our tea... when I was little, I dreamed of being a kitchen witch, mixing up mysterious concoctions, growing my own fresh, organic ingredients and using them to soothe body and soul. As it turns out, I'm completely devoid of magic in the kitchen.

Maybe that's why I'm so fond of tea? It's so easy to make! When I found out you can grow some common ingredients indoors? I knew I'd have to give it a whirl.

Unfortunately, tea leaves take about three years to mature, but there are several herbs you can grow indoors and use for herbal tea mixes or as additives.

Mint

Chamomile

Lemon balm

Lemon verbena

Lavender

Ginger

What is your herbal of choice?

(And have you ever tasted catnip tea? Is it for humans or is it just for cats? Either way, I think this is something our kitty can get behind.)

While you're taking sips, be sure to check out the following books...

Home Sweet Witch

by Bettina M. Johnson

A naïve young witch. A decades-old murder. Can she put her topsy-turvy magic to good use before someone else gives up the ghost?

Also, don't forget to March Into A Free Cozy Mystery during March with this collection of free samples, novellas, and shorts on BookFunnel.

Until next time,
