I am a Cozy Cat Press author and I want to tell you a little bit about Josephine Stuart, my protagonist and personal friend. She's my friend because she lives in my head and is the main character in the six mystery stories I have written. Josephine is a fifty-year-old widow who paints murals for a living and solves murder mysteries on the side. She is passionate about both, but usually needs help from her basset, Solow, to sniff out the bad guys and gals.
Josephine enjoys ocean breezes on five acres of grass and oaks surrounding her little house in Aromas, California. She's not much of a cook, her marigolds are dehydrated and her boyfriend next door doesn't understand her. Even her best friend and her mother do not understand her curiosity and strong sense of justice.
Josephine is quick to judge people--miss-judge I should say, but she is also quick to come to their aid. Her latest caper takes place at the old roller rink in Santa Cruz. She begins her second day on the job, painting a large mural inside the building, when a car crashes through the outer wall, slams through the inner office and Mario sitting at his desk. The driver throws the car into reverse and quickly backs out the hole he came in.
The police and newspaper reporters all think the accident happened when a senior citizen hit the gas instead of the brake. Josephine was the only witness and knows that it was not an accident. Someone killed Mario and she tries to find the person who did it, even though she was not able to see the driver through the debris on the windshield. Read, Roller Rubout for the rest of the story.

Hi Joyce, thanks for taking part in the hop. "Baffled Beatlemaniac" is a self-published ebook but Cozy Cat Press released my other books. Your mystery sounds like a lot of fun!
