The cookies are baked. The tree is trimmed. The shopping? Well, it's
almost done, and Fiona's parents have finally returned home for a
holiday visit - along with some unexpected unruly friends. Yep, Fiona's
perfectly planned Christmas is coming together, but how could've she
planned for her favorite uncle's murder? Who could possibly kill a sweet
old man who's played Santa at the local mall every year without fail?
Fiona's boyfriend, Detective Nathan Landry, is determined to find out -

Meet the Author:
For twenty-six years C.S. McDonald’s life whirled
around a song and a dance. Classically trained at Pittsburgh
Ballet Theater School, The Pittsburgh Dance Alloy, and many
others, she became a professional dancer and choreographer. During
that time, she choreographed many musicals and an opera for the
Pittsburgh Savoyards. In 2011 she retired from her dance career to
write. Under her real name, Cindy McDonald, she writes
murder-suspense and romantic suspense novels. In 2014 she added
the pen name, C.S. McDonald, to write children’s books for her
grandchildren. In 2016 she added the Fiona Quinn Mysteries to that
expansion. She decided to write the cozy mystery series that
everyone, including teens and tweens, can read and enjoy.
Presently, the Fiona Quinn Mysteries includes nine books with a
tenth slated for 2021. The books are also available on audio,
narrated by Maren Swenson Waxenberg.
Cindy’s newest
venture is The Owl’s Nest Mysteries. Once again, she has set her
cozy mystery in Pittsburgh and the female protagonist, Alexa Owl,
is much different from Fiona Quinn. The Owl’s Nest Mysteries has a
little grit, a little time travel, a little romance, and a whole
lot of cozy!
Ms. McDonald resides on her Thoroughbred
farm known as Fly by Night Stables near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
with her husband, Bill, and her poorly behaved Cocker Spaniel,
Allister.
