Dahlia Donovan wrote her first romance series after a crazy dream about
shifters and damsels in distress. She prefers irreverent humour and
unconventional characters. An autistic and occasional hermit, her
life wouldn’t be complete without her husband and her massive
collection of books and video games.
“That is a body.” Valor stared stupidly out the window over the sink where he’d been rinsing his coffee
mug, his hazel eyes glued to the obviously dead man at the corner of their garden. He dragged his fingers
shakily through his mussed-up red hair. “Bish?”
“Yes, it is.” Bishan joined him with their fawn-coloured, long-haired cat, Staccato, perched on his
shoulder, playing with his wavy inky hair.
“That’s a dead body in our garden.” He risked a glance at his long-time boyfriend to find him mesmerised
by the sight. “I mean, it’s a corpse.”
“Very astute of you. Very. Astute. Quite astute. Incredibly so, actually.” Bishan had a tendency to repeat
words when he enjoyed the way they sounded to him. He claimed it was one of his many autistic
superpowers. “Ahhh—stute.”
“Yes, I grasp the concept. Why’s a body in our rose bushes?” Valor carefully set the mug into the sudsy
water, drying his hands off on his jeans and ignoring the indignant huff from Bishan. “Right. I’ll call the
police, and you put Staccato in the bedroom.”
Their cat enjoyed climbing up on anyone who came into their cottage. Valor didn’t think the local
constables would appreciate their uniforms being covered by their feline’s orange-sherbet-tinted hair. She
also loved to disappear into the garden, something that wouldn’t be helpful either.
“Why are you calling the police?” Bishan had his phone out already.
“They hate you.” Valor fumbled with his iPhone for a second.
“Only because I set fire to cotton wool. And they think I’m a terrorist.” Bishan shuddered, obviously
thinking about the offensive white fluff balls that he hated with a passion. “Val? It’s a body. Out there. In
our garden.”
“Maybe stop looking at it?”

These look great, I wonder where the author got her inspiration from?
This would be amazing
I found it oddly funny that a main character has the last name Tamboli. I used to go to an allergist by that name. He even put out a record album with him playing organ music, billing himself as a musician/physician on it! I never hear that name anywhere else.
Interesting cover
I like all three covers. I like how the color and the center of the background is changed to fit each title. I don’t have a favorite because I think they are all clever.
I love the covers!! It really got my attention!! I would love to read Dead In The Pond!!!

Looks like an intriguing mystery
I like all the covers of the books.
It sounds like an interesting series but the covers didn’t want to make me to read the books.
The covers look entertaining. I think I like Dead in the Garden most based on the covers.
I like Dead In The Garden probably because the cover has lots of green in it and I like the color green.
I like the covers. You can just see by the figures that it will include some amusing scenes.
