REVENGE IS BEST SERVED FOR DESSERT. With her first cooking class (as a teacher!!!) coming up, her catering business starting to take off, and her heart starting to recover from her divorce, Sam Genoise wants nothing more than an easy night of blogging at her playful foodie website, www.FoodSlutOnline.com. Then a Horrible Internet Troll does the unthinkable: he threatens her soufflés. Sam blows it off as a prank... …but two batches of soufflés fall. During her cooking class. After she just tried to explain to her students that soufflés are easy. Sam Genoise's soufflés don't fall. Ever. Now Sam's out for revenge, investigating ex-husbands, ex-chefs, so-called friends, and movie-star foodies while a serial dessert killer slaughters her best work. Will Sam be next? An offbeat cooking cozy, first in the Sweet Granadilla series, for foodies with an adventurous palate.

The real story behind Through the Looking-Glass...It was a Britain that had been overrun by a plague of zombies.A Britain that had fought the zombies, not quite won, and yet declared victory.The rabid dead had been mercifully put down.
