Needle and Dread
by Elizabeth Lynn Casey

The Sweet Briar Ladies Society Sewing Circle is needled
by the death of a highly strung woman in the new mystery by
the author of Wedding Duress.

Downtown Sweet Briar is now home to a new sewing shop run by
one of the circle’s own. With the help and support of
her fellow members, Rose is determined to make SewTastic a
success, and, to that end, she decides to sponsor a series
of do-it-yourself weekends for sewing enthusiasts.

But when a group arrives at SewTastic to work on a project,
a loud and argumentative guest pushes everyone’s
buttons. And when she winds up dead in Rose’s project
room—strangled by a sewing machine power
cord—it’s up to Tori and the gang to stitch
together the clues before Rose’s reason for living is
ripped apart at the seams.

Elizabeth Lynn Casey's Bio

It's not often that someone can provide visual proof of the exact moment their lifelong dream was born. Which means I'm one of the lucky ones...

Nestled safely in the top drawer of my filing cabinet is the very first book I ever wrote—a six-page illustrated story entitled, Kidney Learns a Lesson. Looking back, I can't help but think the more accurate title would have been, A Dream Is Born.

While Kidney (a sweetly drawn little brown bear) was learning the kind of lesson its ten-year-old creator felt noteworthy, I was falling in love with the process of writing...of creating a world that came to life beneath my pencil.

With my path chosen, I began devouring every book I could find—my earliest favorites being penned by the likes of Carolyn Keene, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Mary Higgins Clark...

Through them, I learned the joy of reading. Through my devotion to craft, I learned the joy of plotting and creating. And through my readers, I've learned the joy of providing a momentary escape from life—a chance to explore a new place, a new career, a new hobby, a new experience.

Because that's what books do. They allow us to dream...

And dreaming is something I know all about.
