My Books Aren’t for Everyone, And That’s OK

by Nancy Basile

A Shoulder to Die On Pride

There's also been a lot of talk on Bookstagram (the book community on Instagram) about the LGBTQIA community because several Bookstagrammers posted their anti-LGBTQIA sentiments in their posts and their profiles. My books are inclusive because I want them to reflect the world we live in, which includes people of color and people in the LGBTQIA community. I also want my books to be an escape for everyone. I received an email from a reader who downloaded my free cozy mystery, A Shoulder to Die On. Here's what they said: "I started [A Shoulder to Die On] today, but I won't recommend it to my friends nor will I leave a review. I am a straight-laced Christian and I believe in one man and one woman for marriage. I cannot go against my own conscience and beliefs. I doubt that I will finish the book. I'm sorry to disappoint you." Now, this reader didn't disappoint me. And they are perfectly within their rights to feel this way, to stop reading this book, and to not read any of my … [Read more...] about My Books Aren’t for Everyone, And That’s OK

Book Review: Fries and Alibis

by Nancy Basile

Book Review Fries and Alibis

Fries and Alibis is a hilarious cozy mystery by Trixie Silvertale, chock full of all your favorite cozy mystery tropes. You've got a main character as a suspect, a bookstore inheritance, a handscome sheriff, a smarty-pants pet, and a ghost. I mean, what else could you ask for? And the dialog and writing, which is in the first person, is as funny as it is quick-paced. (When available, I use Amazon affiliate links and may earn a commission.) I listened to Fries and Alibis on Audible. The narrator has a throaty voice that really lent itself well to the main character, Mitzy Moon. Here's the video of my full book review.

Book Review: A Murder of Crows

by Nancy Basile

Book Review A Murder of Crows

A Murder of Crows was my first Sarah Yarwood-Lovett book and I highly recommend it. Her writing is a joy to read. A Murder of Crows is more of a traditional mystery than a cozy, but it has a bit of romance (love triangle!) in it that kept me turning the pages as much of the mystery. #teamjames (When available, I use Amazon affiliate links and may earn a commission.)

Lancaster Loves Local Authors Fest

by Nancy Basile

Lancaster Loves Locals Author Fest

I was so thrilled to be part of the first local author fest at Pocket Books Shop. The authors fest celebrated writers from Lancaster and the wider Susquehanna Valley. My table was set up on their sweeping porch, and I spent the hour chatting with customers, selling and signing books. I also met other local authors, which is always enjoyable. It's great to make connections and see what everyone's writing. There are some talented and prolific authors in Lancaster County! The weather was gorgeous that day, which just added to the cheerful nature of everyone there. I sure hope I'm invited back, because it was a blast. … [Read more...] about Lancaster Loves Local Authors Fest

Hancock County Art Hop Wrap-Up

by Nancy Basile

Hancock County Art Hop

The Hancock County Art Hop was a big success. I met many new readers and sold more copies of my books than I expected. Being back in my old stomping grounds was such a delight. My table was set up in the Millsop Community Center, where I spent a chunk of my childhood at all-nighters hosted by the school or in dance recitals that went on for way too long. (Just ask my family members.) The best part? I sat next to my brother, Dr. Louis Martin, who was selling his book, Smokestacks in the Hills: Rural-Industrial Workers in West Virginia. Basically, I got to hang out with him all day, which is a rare treat. I also met other local artists and authors. So much talent in Hancock County! I hope I'm invited back.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Mystery Author Nancy Basile📕 (@mediamedusa)   … [Read more...] about Hancock County Art Hop Wrap-Up
