From author Lena Gregory comes a delightfully delicious cozy mystery...
With most of Eastern Long Island closed down for a blizzard, Danika Delaney and her friends are holed up in her old fashioned malt shop, the Coffee & Cream Café, with ice cream and hot chocolate. However, their plans to wait out the storm in cozy company are interrupted when a popular YouTuber and her two companions show up at the door—they've been trapped by the storm, and Dani generously offers to serve them breakfast. But her generosity isn't rewarded in kind, as the reviewer then tries to extort money from Dani in exchange for a good review! When the storm finally clears, Dani is happy to have seen the last of them.
Or so she thought.
Dani and her friends decide to go sleigh riding the morning after the storm clears, but instead of a winter wonderland, they find the extorting YouTuber...dead! To make matters worse, Dani suddenly finds herself accused of the woman's murder. Intent on restoring her reputation, Dani sets out to prove she didn’t do it. This is one storm she's not sure she can weather...

'New Year's Resolutions'
by Lena Gregory
With a New Year comes the inevitable New Year’s Resolutions! Every year my list of resolutions is pretty much the same. When promoting an old story I wrote, I often asked readers, what are your New Year’s resolutions? The results varied from blog to blog, but the overwhelming majority of people said they’d like to lose weight, exercise more, be more organized, make better use of their time, save money—all the same resolutions I make every year.
I think many of us rattle off a list of resolutions with no clear idea of how we will keep them. I’ve decided this year, rather than just making a resolution, I’m going to come up with a plan to make my resolutions work. My first step is to set realistic goals. I don’t think I’m going to miraculously develop enough self-control to bypass a chocolate cake just because it’s a new year. I could be wrong, but it hasn’t worked for the past…well…however many years, so it probably won’t work this year either. Instead of making my resolution to lose weight, I’m going to eat healthier. Hopefully, weight loss will come with healthier eating, but if not, at least maybe I’ll feel better and have more energy. If I go for the fruits and veggies first, maybe I’ll be full enough after them to skip the cookies.
I’m going to put five dollars a week in an envelope to save. It’s not a lot, and I probably won’t miss it much, but maybe if I can put five dollars away, I can increase it to ten or fifteen. Starting out small and having realistic expectations seems a more manageable plan.
Being more organized doesn’t come quite as easily, and I definitely function better when things are organized. So I tried to think about why I’m so unorganized. I decided I’m not managing my time well enough, like when I sit down to write and check my social media and email first. Of course, emails have to be answered, so I take care of that. And social media, well, that’s about the biggest time suck ever. As soon as I sign on the IMs start, then there’s posts to reply to and groups to post to. This might be the hardest to keep, but I will manage my time better. When I sit down to write, I’ll write first, then check emails and social media. Who knows? Maybe it’ll motivate me to write faster.
What are some of your resolutions for the coming New Year? Do you have a plan to help you achieve your goals? Let me know!
