Granny series gets a follow-up

WELLS — Author and newspaper columnist Julie Seedorf’s next book is out.

Published by Cozy Cat Press of Aurora, Ill., “Granny Snows A Sneak,” delivers mystery, suspense and humor once again with her crime-solving grandmother character in a fictional, misspelled Minnesota city. 

Granny may be retired as Fuchsia’s one-woman undercover sleuth for the Fuchsia Police Department, but that doesn’t mean she still doesn’t need a trusty weapon. Her weapon of choice? A pink snow shovel. When Granny runs over a dead body with her snowmobile, she unwittingly sets off a chain of events that involves mislabeled corpses, empty graves and stolen money. Who’s at the bottom of this years-old crime? Granny has an idea, but she has little time to investigate, when in just days she’s scheduled to marry the love of her life, Franklin Gatsby, in a post-Christmas ceremony.

Granny decides to enlist the help of her friends and neighbors. Add in Christmas excitement and the arrival of Granny’s family, who are all there for her wedding, and mayhem ensues. Of course, Granny can always count on her many furry friends to provide her with moral support, but it’s quite possible that Granny — that is, Hermiony Vidalia Criony Fiddlestadt — has a secret or two of her own, which may very well be revealed as “Granny Snows A Sneak.”

Seedorf is the Monday columnist for the daily Albert Lea Tribune. She lived her life as a wife and mom, experiencing various careers including that of computer technician, retiring from her computer repair business in January 2014 to follow her dream and transition to that of full-time writer.

Along with her Fuchsia series, she is the author of the “Granny’s In Trouble” series bringing mystery to the life of young readers along with sharing who Granny is under the wrinkles, teaching her grandchildren that Granny can be forever young. Her column “Something About Nothing,” is written with the idea that under the nothings people talk about there is a hidden something waiting to get out.
