It’s been a looong time since there were any groups or post devoted to Catholic fiction but I would like to let everyone know that the sixth book in my Black Horse Campground mystery series has been published by Aakenbaaken & Kent! It is currently available online from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

The title is “Fiesta of Fear” and the story takes place in a rural area of south central New Mexico with the parish’s annual fiesta being the setting for the story. Here is the blurb:

Fun. Games. Food. Murder… Corrie Black, owner of the Black Horse Campground in Bonney County, New Mexico, has her hands full. She has offered to host the annual San Ignacio church fiesta at the campground, she’s helping her best friend Shelli deal with a missing ex-husband and troubled teenager, and she’s trying to keep the peace between the parish’s two most vocal members. When the high school principal is found dead in the church cemetery, Corrie needs answers: Who are the ‘ghost girls’? What is causing Shelli’s son to get into so much trouble? What is causing the tension between the church secretary and the church treasurer? Are these connected to the murder? And most importantly to Corrie, what is the secret her coworker and friend, RaeLynn Shaffer, is hiding? With the help of Bonney County sheriff, Rick Sutton, and Bonney Detective J.D. Wilder, Corrie tries to unravel the threads. that connect all the mysteries to the fiesta and the Black Horse Campground. But the threads turn into a net that could snare Corrie and her friends in a deadly trap!

Other books in the series have won the Catholic Writers Guild Seal of Approval and there is a little romance, a little humor, a lot of local flavor and fun, engaging characters. I hope it’s all right to share the joy of having my book published and hopefully find new readers!(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

If I had the money to buy it, I totally would. If only I would get off my butt and finish my own project!
 
Thanks, that means a lot to me! Good luck with your own project! “Just keep writing, just keep writing, just keep writing…”
 
Congratulations 🎈🎉🍾🎊

Will your book be available for Kindle?

I will keep an eye out for it and buy it.

I’ve been to New Mexico and loved it, especially the food!

I hope to have it available on Kindle soon! I recently changed publishing houses, following the death of my first publisher from a stroke, and we are in the process of re-issuing the series with new covers and making them all available on Kindle. Thanks!
 
Congrats, nice to hear of a Catholic flavoured novel. You find precious few. Is it part of a series, ie the next in line of the 6?
 
Will be hoping to get it on Kindle! Congratulations! I’m the sister of a writer and I know how much WORK it takes.
 
Congratulations!! I look forward to reading the Kindle edition when it comes out.

Check out almost anything by Fr. Andrew Greeley. While he may be, err, criticized, with regard to his relations with his bishops and the, err, liberality of his theology, his books are very much a catholic environment. Mostly mysteries, many with a priest protagonist. And two SF novels . . .
 
I will be submitting it to the CWGSoA committee in the next quarter. Two earlier books in the series have been awarded the SoA. This is the sixth book in the series. Here is the link to my website where you can read about my other books: https://www.amymbennettbooks.com/

There are many other books with a strong Catholic identity or “flavor” if you will. Check out the books listed on Catholic Writers Guild (link in my website) and on this site : https://www.catholic-fiction.com/
