Crowning the Slug Queen: A Callie Stone Mystery

By L.M. Fortin

Callie Stone is having a tough week. Fired from her job as an event planner in New York, she returns to her hometown of Skinner, Oregon for a much needed vacation. However, this time off is anything but restful when Callie assists an old friend by taking over a beauty pageant in which the contenders are trying to out diva each other for the title of Skinner Slug Queen. When one of the participants is found dead backstage, Callie is tossed between her mother's vegetarian stews, her best friend's attractive ex-husband and a pageant full of cross-dressing contestants. Was the death just an accident or is there something more sinister going on? Crowning the Slug Queen is the first book in a new cozy mystery series set in quirky Skinner, Oregon, a town in the Pacific Northwest where it's almost impossible to keep a count of the number of rain storms, coffee shops or Birkenstocks.
