We made it to another Friday and it’s time to celebrate.
It’s going to be lovely in Massachusetts this weekend. Miranda plans to bag a million leaves currently residing in her backyard. TB is hoping to go on a drive, enjoy the fall foliage, and have a delightful lunch in a quaint town in Central Mass.

Now for the fun stuff!

5 Random Things is our way of helping readers to get to know authors all the while having a bit of fun.
Here are five random facts about Barbara Winkes.
1. I have synesthesia – for the longest time, I had no idea other people didn’t see colors when thinking of numbers/letters/words etc.
2. I met my wife online in the Women’s Murder Club fandom, but the first in-person meeting was in Paris. We intended to meet for a coffee and ended up spending all my days there together.
3. I am celebrating my 10-year-publishing anniversary this November (2022) – sapphic crime drama and Christmas romance under my own name, and steamier stories as Raven J. Spencer.
4. My love for food winds its way into all my books – even when they hunt serial killers, characters enjoy pizza, dessert, and a good glass of wine on occasion.
5. I was born in Germany but became a Canadian citizen in 2017. Being able to vote was one of the main reasons.
Preorder Barbara’s Destination Christmas, Next Stop Love. Out November 7th!

Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend!
