From My Kitchen Table

Pull up a chair and grab your teacup. I'm Tansy Blackwood,
author of the Perennial Sleuth Mysteries.

This is where readers gather for small-town stories,
curious clues, seaside gossip, and a touch of kitchen magic.

I write alongside my cats, Miso and Biscotti, and my dog,
Olive.

I'll send you the latest mysteries I'm reading, notes from
my garden, and an occasional recipe.

No spam… unless it's in a recipe. 😉
