Kathryn Mykel
Kathryn Mykel, inspired by the fanciful and laugh out loud aspects of cozies, aims to write humorous and lighthearted cozies surrounding her passions for the craft of quilting. Born and grew up in a tiny New England town, Kathryn is an avid quilter.

“Sewing Suspicion” is the first novel in the “Quilting Cozy” series and was released in 2021. A patchwork of white lies and secrets. Can Alex possibly string the truth together before her life totally unravels? Alex Bailey’s heart feels pretty threadbare at the moment. Struggling with the dubious practices of her NYC law firm, she has left her high profile career behind and is rather eager to clear her conscience with a trip back home in order to care for the woman that raised her.

However once an ill fate befalls this quilting matriarch, this shocked lawyer suspects that somebody is covering up a murder. Alex starts unpicking the strands of her beloved grandma’s life, and patches together some clues which prove that her loved one’s death wasn’t just some accident. As the practice’s stained history weaves into the devious handiwork of this culprit, she will need to survive just long enough in order to expose this heartless murderer.

Can Alex really get to the bottom of this sinister pattern before winding up buried in somebody’s flower garden?
