Here's a list of the other short-listers:  Moving up! PARTY WINE made it to the next round, so now the title is a semi-finalist in Chanticleer's Murder & Mayhem Cozy-and-Not-So-Cozy Category!
 PARTY WINE was shortlisted for the Chanticleer International Book Awards in the category of Murder & Mayhem: Cozy and Not-so-Cozy Mysteries. This is fantastic!
Carol Wrobleski brings PARTY WINE alive with her fun narration. We had a brief meeting before she read the novel, signed on to narrate it, and nailed it. Party Wine: Audible Carol did such a great job that I've already asked her to narrate my upcoming novel about Dervla and the Nanas. There's even a snazzy new cover taken right from the world of balmetti. I took the photo at the balmetto festival last summer.  Hot off the press!
