ABOUT THE BOOK
When Jamie Lang finds one of her hand lettered quotes on the window of her shop, Flourish, with a hole shot through a serif, she knows someone’s trying to drive her business into red ink. Jamie confronts Earleen Culp, the ruthless owner of the local stationery shop, in front of the most popular breakfast spot in the small town of Cedar Valley. Of course, Earleen professes shock and innocence, so when she’s found dead in front of Jamie’s home the next morning, Jamie becomes the prime suspect.
Jamie’s one cross-stroke short of acquittal, and even her best friend has her doubts. But Jamie’s not the only one in town with a motive for wanting Earleen silenced for good. To clear her name, Jamie’s going to need every last drop of ink in her quill.
With the hot police chief Ridge, and her makeup artist friend Nora on her side, she’s prepared to go out with a flourish if that’s what it takes to catch the real murderer. She’s desperate to save her hand lettering business, but will her quest lead her right into a killer’s snare?

GUEST POST WITH JESSA ARCHER'S JAMIE LANG
Coffee—Jamie Lang
I'm supposed to be writing a guest post, but although I'm an excellent writer, I'm not much of a writer. That doesn't make any sense, you say. Either you are or you aren't. Here's the distinction—I'm a hand letterer and calligrapher. Mostly a hand letterer, which is more art than writing. Calligraphy is actual writing. It's a subtle but important distinction. So my lettering and handwriting are fun, whimsical, beautiful works of art. But actually writing content isn't really my thing. I leave the writing of thoughts and stories to the writers whose words and quotes I letter.
So instead I decided to share a fun piece of my work with one of my favorite sentiments. If you know me, you know I drink a lot of coffee. I bet many of you do, too, and share the sentiment in my little gif. So here's to you!
