I wanted to let everyone know that I have a new crochet murder mystery book out called, Dying To Crochet.
http://www.publishamerica.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?catalogid=25058
It is a crochet pattern book which contains a murder mystery story. It is written in a crochet along with the character style so that everything the main character crochets, the reader can crochet as well. There are 10 patterns in the book plus 2 stitch patterns.
The book is also available from amazon and barnesandnoble.
Hope everyone enjoys the book!

There are 10 patterns in the book and two stitch patterns. 12 in all. The cover is a closeup photo of each of the 12 designs. 3 across by 4 down. Then they made all of the photos an eerie green. I am working on placing photos of the complete designs on a website, but it might be awhile. since I have no idea what I am doing.
The book starts with the main character learning how to crochet. So the book starts with beginner patterns which get progressively fancier.
The designs include: 3 preemie baby blankets, a baby hat, a scarf, a pet snuggle, a cabled hot pad, a cabled drawstring purse, an envelope purse, and a decorative egg.
The main character goes to a crochet convention so some of the designs are what she learns in the classes she takes.
Hope this helps in lue of photos.

Bendy, this book was so good! I loved the convention too! I can't wait to try that purse that looks knitted. When the book came, (it took 5 weeks) I read it in one sitting! I'm a voracious reader and you did an amazing job of keeping me interested. The flow was smooth, transitions and segues neat, and only 1 typo! Kudos!!
Do you have other books out? Are you planning to write another? WELL DONE!!!
(more books please?)
