Bliss Creek Winery Series

The Bliss Creek Winery series keeps the cozy in mystery, while addressing modern social issues.  The debut novel, The Beekeeper’s Secret, was launched chapter-by-chapter last year and is now out for editing. The Beekeeper and the Nazi Cryptology is the second in the series.

In the picturesque town of Gaia, nestled along the bluffs of the Mississippi River in western Wisconsin, the annual festival is a highlight of the tourist season. However, this year’s festivities take a dark turn when a white supremacy group stages a rally, spreading fear and tension among the community.

Alexi Mandiera, owner of Bliss Creek Winery and Meadery, finds herself embroiled in a perplexing mystery of coded Nazi relics, psychic drama, and an uncertain cause of the group leader’s death. To complicate matters, Alexi’s vineyard manager becomes a top suspect, leaving her determined to find the true culprit and clear his name.

As Alexi delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers a web of secrets and hidden agendas, challenging her to face her own suspicions of new and old residents. With the help of her friends, her children, and free-spirited locals, she inches closer to what might be an uncomfortable truth.

“The Beekeeper and the Nazi Cryptology” is a riveting mystery that explores the resilience of a community united against hatred. This gripping tale offers readers an intriguing mix of historical allusion and contemporary relevance, showcasing the power of a community to overcome adversity.
