I love Mrs. Bundle and Angie and Cracker! Thanks so much for sharing the adventures of these wonderful people with all of us." Carol C.       “Finished your books a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed them.  Reminded me of the 1st.

Laggis, East Hardwick, VT       “We have finished both books and loved them!” The Tuttle Family      “I have finished the first Mrs. B book, and thoroughly enjoyed it---plan to start the second this evening.

(the first in the series) MRS. BUNDLE TAKES A HIKE: The Case of the Singing Swans. Mrs. Bundle was looking for more excitement in “her little world” of North Pillson Corners, Vermont.  Before she can say “Fantastical!”, her fledgling B and C Detective Agency becomes entangled in two mysteries that mix family, trust, power, and betrayal into a very hazardous cocktail.  Little knowing what danger she faces, she puts her deductive skills to the test (with the help of her teenage neighbor, Angie Andersen, and her favorite sidekick, Cracker) and lets her thirst for Adventure lead her to more intrigue and risk than she ever bargained for.   315 pages. 2006   "Wonderful and quite charming first novel in a series of 3. If Nancy Drew has a grandmother, I'm quite sure she must be Mrs. Bundle. Innocent and full of detail, this is a delicious read -- curl up with a pot of tea and plate of scones and join Mrs. Bundle and her delightful friends."

THE COZY LIBRARY review, 2009

Q and A with the Author:  Q: When did you start the Mrs. Bundle series? A: I started writing in 2001 and finished my first Mrs. Bundle mystery in 2003.  Since then, things snowballed! She's a very likable protagonist, a woman of mature age living in farm country in Vermont with her cat, Cracker, who "helps" her, along with her teenage neighbor, Angie Andersen. Although the series is an adult "Cozy" mystery read, I've found ALL AGES from pre-teens, teens to grandmothers and everyone in between love the series! Q: Why did you decide to start writing? A: As a watercolorist, I realized writing about charming little North Pillson Corners was a lot like painting, using words to capture an image for the reader. It's a challenge. I love having a strong female protagonist. Mrs. Bundle is feminine, but strong---if need be, she can pack a really good punch. too Q: Are there any similarities between you and Mrs. Bundle? A: Well...she has a reputation for being impetuous, and I've been called that before. She's very competent. She's like a dog on a bone, especially when it has to do with someone who is near and dear to her. Mrs. Bundle doesn't mind getting down and dirty if she has to. Everything isn't always pleasant for Mrs. Bundle but she never turns away from a challenge! Q: What if the Mrs. Bundle books were turned into a movie? A: Well, Jean Marsh or Susan Sarandon would be my choice to play Mrs. Bundle. Q. Who would play Cracker? It might be a thespian stretch for both of them, but either Spook or Choo Choo from the 'Top Cat' gang.     Come visit when the author comes to your town *Dear Readers, Do you have some favorite old-fashioned family recipes like Mrs. Bundle?  If so, the author would like to hear about it at bundlepublishing@yahoo.com         “I loved the 2nd book, it really drew me into the story quickly and kept my attention for the whole book.” Rachel B.      “Spending time with Mrs. Bundle and Cracker is a real joy.  ‘Mrs. B’ is a wonderful role model for women ‘of a certain age.’ Her warmth, intelligence and grit make her a most appealing character and female protagonist.  I eagerly anticipate her next adventure.” B. Murphy              “I could not put the book down and certainly read it post haste. Loved every moment, enjoyed the characters especially Cracker and Mrs. B.  Great, Great, Great can't wait for the next book to be available for sale.”  C. Cooper     "I finished both books and read them over and over already! I am really looking forward to  Mrs. Bundle 3!" Grace T., Reading, MA     "Just finished it--loved it! Great plot", Kevin Forrest, Editor, Vermont Standard
