Cover Art REVEAL for Belinda Blake and the Snake in the Grass!

I have been so anxiously awaiting seeing the cover art for my first-in-series cozy mystery, Belinda Blake and the Snake in the Grass! It’s been live online for a while, but I couldn’t WAIT to see what cover the designers would come up with to capture Belinda and her world.

The cover isn’t live on the online vendors yet (except at Kensington Books), but I’ll share all the preorder links below. You can pick up the ebook version on preorder for $3.99. Rest assured, there will be at least two more books releasing in this series–one in October 2019, and one in February 2020! So you can own all three within a year! And there will be softcovers that will come out closer to the release date of June 25, 2019.

For now, here’s a brief description of my exotic pet-sitting, video gaming amateur sleuth!

When exotic pet-sitter Belinda Blake moves into a carriage house in tony Greenwich, Connecticut, she’s hoping to find some new clients. Instead she discovers a corpse in the garden—and a knack for solving murders . . .  
 
Pet-sitter Belinda Blake doesn’t rattle easily, but move-in day has been eventful, to say the least. The python in her care tried to slither to freedom—just as she met Stone Carrington V, her landlords’ disarmingly handsome son. With the constrictor back in its cage, she heads out to the garden, only to discover a designer shoe poking out of the boxwood hedge—attached to a woman’s dead body. 
 
The victim, Margo Fenton, was a Carrington family friend, and no one in their circle seems above suspicion. Between client trips to Manhattan and visits to her family in upstate New York, Belinda begins to put the pieces together. But though she’s falling for Stone’s numerous charms, Belinda wonders if she’s cozying up to a killer. And soon, daily contact with a deadly reptile might be the least dangerous part of her life . . . 

And NOW for the cover reveal…

I love it! It’s so quirky, just like Belinda herself. I’m just saying, this petite blondie will surprise you! I can’t wait to share her adventures with you! And if you’re not sure, let me share a few endorsement quotes by some amazing cozy mystery authors!

“Snakes rank only slightly more favorably with me than spiders, leeches, and ticks. So you can imagine my surprise when, by the end of this book, the snake was my second favorite character after Belinda herself. On top of being a great book for animal-lovers (trust me, you’ll love even the snake), this was a fun read with a smart sleuth. I can’t wait to see what Belinda does next, where both pets and perps are concerned.”
—Emily James, award-winning and bestselling cozy mystery author

“Cozy fans will root for pet-sitter Belinda Blake as she unravels this cleverly-crafted mystery in a delightfully-deadly new series by Heather Day Gilbert.”
—Elizabeth Spann Craig, author of the bestselling Myrtle Clover Mysteries
