A League of Literary Ladies Mystery
BY KYLIE LOGAN
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The national bestselling author of The Legend of
Sleepy Harlow returns to South Bass Island, where the
League of Literary Ladies has to find out who’s
killing off nuns.
B and B owner Bea Cartwright has taken on the responsibility
of taking meals to ten visiting nuns, who are on retreat at
the Water’s Edge Center for Spirit and Renewal on
picturesque South Bass Island on Lake Erie. But the peace of
the retreat is shattered when one of the nuns is found at
the water’s edge—murdered. And when a second nun
is killed, Bea and the other members of the League of
Literary Ladies—Chandra, Kate, and Luella—start
to wonder about eerie parallels with the Agatha Christie
mystery classic, And Then There Were None.
Since Bea has the trust of the sisters, the local chief of
police asks her and the other Literary Ladies to interview
each of them. Expecting a confession may be asking for a
miracle, but Bea hopes she can at least find the killer
before another nun gets crossed off the guest list…
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Pseudonym for Casey Daniels.
So maybe you already know that I’m not just Kylie
Logan, I’m also Casey Daniels and a few other writers,
too. What’s it like to have multiple personalities and
the pen names to go with them? Well, I was once lucky enough
to interview mystery great Elizabeth Peters for an article
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. She writes under more than
one name, too, and she described the experience perfectly,
“If you’re only one person,” she said,
“you’re boring!”
And I guess I’d add to that—if you only write
one mystery series, you’re boring, too! Or maybe
you’re just not getting visited as often by the Idea
Fairy. The only way to keep that particular critter quiet is
to follow where those ideas lead and to date, they’ve
led me to write three different mystery series under the
Kylie name.
So who is Kylie? I’m a fulltime writer who has loved
mysteries since I was a kid. My dad was a Cleveland Police
detective, and he introduced me to Sherlock Holmes stories.
He also gave me my first investigating experiences when on
his days off, we’d pile into the car and hit the
streets to look for stolen cars. When he retired from the
force, Dad became the head of security for the Cleveland
Public Library.
Crooks and books! I guess I come by my love for mysteries
honestly.
I have a degree in English, experience as a journalist and
writing teacher, and lots of ideas about interesting ways to
kill people. This makes me an excellent guest as cocktail
parties, but I’ve noticed that the hostess
doesn’t always trust me near the food. Could that have
something to do with the book on poisons sticking out of my
purse?
I began my career writing historical romance and my book
“Devil’s Diamond” was nominated for a RITA
award as historical of the year by Romance Writers of
America. I’ve also written contemporary romance, young
adult horror (as Zoe Daniels and Connie Laux), and one
children’s book, “Fright Knight,” in the
RL Stine’s Ghosts of Fear Street series. If you click
on the “AKA” button at the top of the page,
you’ll see all my pen names.
I enjoy weaving and knitting, exploring old cemeteries, and
I am a beekeeper. I can’t pass up an antique shop
(there might be buttons in there!). I can’t put down a
classic book (even if I already know the story!). And I
can’t say no to a good bowl of chili. Lucky for me, my
husband is the world’s greatest chili maker.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually with my family
and our two dogs, Ernie, an adorable Airedale, and Oscar, a
Jack Russell rescue who came for a short-term stay and ten
years later, is still here. Those of you who have ever lived
with/met/had dealings with a Russell will certainly
understand how knowing him has increased my propensity for
murder.

I love this mystery series! I really want to know about Bea Cartwright's past which is a mystery (I have my own theories about her past).
AND THEN THERE WERE NUNS sounds like a fun read with trying to discover who is killing off the nuns one by one.

I found it interesting that Kylie Logal and Casey Daniels are one of the same. I did not know that and I have read books by both of them.

I'd love to see who is killing off nuns, and why. Sounds like a good story.
