**Playing With Poison was a Quarter Finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award! Murder meets menopause. Take a guess which wins. ** **PRAISE for Playing With Poison** "I just love Jessie Hewitt. She is the bomb." Melina Mason, *Melina's Book Blog* "This was one of my favorite submissions so far. I loved the main character, Jessie Hewitt, a middle aged romance writer (ex-pool hustler) having the time of her life." *Amazon contest review* "These characters are a hoot!! A lighthearted cozy that will put a smile on your face." Lori Caswell, *Escape With Dollycas Into a Good Book* "A fast paced read with humor and mystery blended together to create the perfect story." Yvonne, *Socrates Cozy Cafe* "Playing With Poison is a lighthearted, fun, breezy, witty page-turner of a mystery novel." Peter Lacey **OVERVIEW** Pool shark Jessie Hewitt usually knows where the balls will fall and how the game will end. But when a body lands on her couch, and the cute cop in her kitchen accuses her of murder, even Jessie isn't sure what will happen next. Playing With Poison is a cozy mystery with a lot of humor, a little romance, and far too much champagne. **MORE PRAISE for The Cue Ball Mysteries** "Even if you've never played pool in your life, this really is a mystery series you need to pick up. I would compare it to Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum...it's just that much fun." Melissa Lapierre, *Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries and More* "Wrap a pool-shark around a mystery, and throw in a lot of humor, and you've got a great read." Howard Lewis "Fun cozy mysteries that will keep you laughing and on your toes all the way to the nail-biting end. Cindy Blackburn brings a fresh new voice to the mystery genre." Dorothy St. James, author of *The White House Gardener Mysteries*
