A confession from the author: Andi Anna Jones, mediocre travel agent, with an inferiority complex about her job, her looks, and her single status, discovers her “inner sleuth” in Margaritas, Mayhem & Murder. Keeping with some excellent advice I got years ago, to “write what you know’, her character and job are loosely based on …
Author: Mary Cunningham
Author, Mary Cunningham, grew on the northern side of the Ohio River in Corydon, Indiana. Her first memories are of her dad’s original bedtime stories that no doubt inspired her imagination and love of a well-spun “yarn”.
Childhood experiences, and a recurring dream about a mysterious attic, inspired characters, Cynthia and Augusta Lee, for her award-winning middle-grade series, Cynthia's Attic.
Through a horrifying stint as a travel agent and more rewarding experience teaching travel and tourism, Andi Anna Jones, travel agent/amateur sleuth, sprang to life.
She’s currently writing another middle-grade series, The Adventures of Max and Maddie, an adult mystery, For the Life of Claire, and the biography of an army brat/star basketball star.
Cunningham is a member of The Georgia Reading Association, and the Carrollton Writers Guild.
When she gives her fingers a break from the keyboard, she enjoys golf, swimming and exploring the mountains of West Georgia where she makes her home with her husband. Together they've raised three creative children, have 2 granddaughters, a grandson, a great grandson, and an adopted, four-legged, furry daughter, Lucy.
Margaritas, Mayhem, & Murder: An Andi Anna Jones Mystery (1), due for Fall 2017 release by Imajin Books.
Mermaid-In-Waiting
I’m Pisces. Pisces, a water sign, is the last constellation of the zodiac. It's symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces's attention between fantasy and reality. As the final sign, Pisces has absorbed every lesson — the joys and the pains, the hopes and the fears — learned …
Visiting (and writing about) My Ancestors
I was a recent guest on the fabulous blog of author, Christine Verstraete. Christine is asking authors to write about their hobbies, beyond writing. While I love sports (I’m a tomboy from waaaaay back), swim, and play a little golf, my first love, after reading and writing of course, is genealogy. Family Search has become …

International Chocolate Day!
It's still hard to believe that something I love, SO MUCH, is actually good for me! I'd eat chocolate on just about anything! Well, maybe not hamburgers or strip steak or grilled chicken...but just about everything else! Not only that, I found out my second love, coffee, will increase my life span. Or, is it …
To Dye, Or Not to Dye…That is the Question.
This is a question I've asked myself for more than twenty years. It was 1999. We lived in South River, NJ. Every evening we'd take our little rescue terrier, Molly, for a walk around the block. Sometimes down to the park and into town. But, I digress. During this one particular stroll, the sun …

Unbreakable Bond – Jess Bryant – My Review!
Zoey Kent has lived with that fact ever since she turned eighteen and learned that the man she loved could never be hers. He’s a born shifter, a wolf, and she’s a mere human. Fate doesn’t care if on paper they’re a perfect pair. She isn’t his fated mate and she’s resigned herself to the …

Comfort Books Are Better Than Comfort Food: Bonnie McCune, Author of Never Retreat
Yes, that's right. As Bonnie McCune says, "Comfort books are better for you than comfort food." “Comfort food.” A phrase to describe nibblies we crave when we’re sick, depressed, and out of sorts. Often based on nostalgic or sentimental feelings, especially from childhood, valued by the diner. This describes dishes like mac & cheese, …
