Barbara Graham releases new book


This just in from Barbara Graham about her new book,
Murder by Serpents:

East Tennessee Sheriff Tony Abernathy finds himself searching for a murderer. Who killed a snake-handling preacher–using his own snakes as the weapon? Aided in his search by his wife, Theo, a quilt shop owner and mother of two boys, Tony must dig through conflicting information. Tony may think of Theo’s shop as “gossip central” but he pays attention to what she learns. When more bodies turn up, they are both embroiled in the hunt for the truth.
The “clues” for Theo’s mystery quilt are included as a little something extra for other quilting addicts.


Murder By Serpents: The Mystery Quilt release date is Wednesday, November 14 by Five Star Books, an imprint of Gale, ISBN13: 978-1-59414-590-2.

Born in the Texas Panhandle and unable to remain still, she has lived in places as diverse as Denver, New Orleans and East Tennessee. A former travel agent, mom, and ballet teacher, she resides in Wyoming with her long suffering husband and two dogs.
