Hello, friends! I’m C.S. Poe, back with another monthly post here at Love Bytes. You may know me from my mystery-romances like Southernmost Murder or the Snow & Winter series. This month we’re taking a small break from my usual posting of The Murder Collection because there are New Things Afoot!

Like a new release! Yes. Finally. The Mystery of the Moving Image (Snow & Winter Book Three) is live. Sebastian and Calvin are back with more murder, mystery, and true love. This was an exceptionally fun (and hair-pulling) book to write. I sincerely hope readers enjoy this addition to the series.

And new glasses! Pretty nifty, don’t you think? I actually have three new pairs. I’m accessorizing my nearsightedness.

And new events! I’m taking off for a short trip to Orlando tomorrow for the annual conference put on by my publisher, then I’ll be at GRL in October as a Featured Author. But for the first time in my career, I’ll be attending two very big and exciting book events in Europe! From March 15 – 18, 2019 I will be at the Salon du Livre in Paris, France, and then at Buchmesse in Leipzig, Germany from March 21 – 24, 2019. Will I see you there?

That’s it from me this month. What a whirlwind! We will have a new chapter of The Murder Collection in October. And if you’ve not read this yet, it is my free, Choose Your Own Adventure story, where readers seem to be very insistent about getting poor Dean Stewart into as much trouble as possible.

The Mystery of the Moving Image (Snow & Winter Book Three)

It’s summer in New York City, and antique shop owner Sebastian Snow is taking the next big step in his relationship with NYPD homicide detective, Calvin Winter: they’re moving in together. What should have been a wonderful week of playing house and celebrating Calvin’s birthday comes to an abrupt end when a mysterious package arrives at the Emporium.

Inside is a Thomas Edison Kinetoscope, a movie viewer from the nineteenth century, invented by the grandfather of modern cinema, W. K. L. Dickson. And along with it, footage of a murder that took place over a hundred years ago.

Sebastian resists the urge to start sleuthing, even if the culprit is long dead and there’s no apparent danger. But break-ins at the Emporium, a robbery, and dead bodies aren’t as easy to ignore, and Sebastian soon realizes that the century-old murder will lead him to a modern-day killer.

However, even with Sebastian’s vast knowledge of Victorian America and his unrelenting perseverance in the face of danger, this may be the one mystery he won’t survive.
