McKenna/MK Dean Mysteries
@mckennadean.bsky.social
Award-winning #author of crockpot PNR romances & cozy mysteries. I like putting characters in hot water to see how strong they are. Like teabags, only deadlier. She/her https://linktr.ee/McKenna_Dean
Honest opinion here: I was updating A Nose for Death to reflect winning the 2025 Best Indie Book Award for #cozymystery when I saw a review from someone who loves the series but hates the covers. Feels they are too cartoonish/not genre reflective.
Do you think they are right? Should I rebrand?

The current #BlueSkyArtShow prompt is #Autumn - here is one of my all-time favorite photos of red maples near me.

Welp, I made the garlic butter and cheese-stuffed focaccia for work today, and now my husband wants to know where OUR loaf is, so I guess I'm making bread again tomorrow... (But it's gorgeous, isn't it?)

Baked some Halloween cookies today. Caught myself saying, "You get points for presentation and flavor, but this biscuit is sadly under-baked. There's no snap."
