Cori Lynn Arnold writes police procedurals. She’s also worked as a hotel housekeeper, handywoman, laundry attendant, radio disc jockey, library clerk, historical photographic archivist, mathematics tutor, teaching assistant, artwork framer, photo lab junky, portrait and wedding photographer, high school algebra teacher, Internet security researcher, security analyst, computer programmer and ethical hacker. (With a background like that, she’s got plenty of fodder for many books!) Learn more about Cori and her books here. I love to knit - and quilt, and refinish furniture, and throw pottery and … you name it. I’m a sucker for crafty things. I like to tell people that I have enough hobbies for all my characters to live well-rounded lives outside of the pages of my manuscripts. One of my favorite characters from Scalding Deceit is Assistant District Attorney Kristine Rocha. In one of the opening chapters she’s left waiting outside the Coroner’s office. Waiting isn’t her strong suit, and she’s already angry for being called down to his office. The email she received said that the Coroner was planning on changing his testimony in a murder trail she’d been working on for over a year. She can’t sit still, so she pulls out her needles and yarn to work on a small project that fits in a little pocket inside her briefcase: socks for her nephew Bryan. Kristine has been knitting since she was five, but she quit the hobby during law school. She picked it up again when she found she needed a way to relax her mind. Unlike Kristine, I didn’t learn to knit until I was thirty. My grandma owned a knitting shop for forty years and taught knitting for a living. My grandfather was a yarn salesman. So naturally I resisted anything to do with the hobby. My main hobby was quilting, but quilting projects are a little difficult to travel with. About ten years ago, my grandparents asked me to join them on a fourteen-day cruise to celebrate my grandpa’s recovery (he’d been sick the winter before) and their anniversary. For the first few sea days I occupied myself with reading, but I was itching to do something with my hands. My grandma is always knitting, and watching her always mesmerized me. On about the fifth day I asked her if she had any spare knitting, and if she could teach me to knit. I’ve been knitting ever since. I started with a dozen scarves, moved on to basic hats, then fancier hats and then I started making mittens, and socks. I’ve knit exactly one sweater. The sweater took me forever, but my husband wears it every winter even though his cheeks turn red and beads of sweat form on his forehead from the thick wool. One thing my grandma doesn’t like to do is knit in the round on four needles. She’d rather knit flat in stockinette stitch and crochet the seam. I had already knit socks the hard way once when she taught me to knit socks with just two needles. The process is a lot more fun than gussets. When you are putting these socks together it feels a lot like the magic of origami. Only intermediary knitting skills are required: short row shaping using wrap and turn, and Kitchener’s stitch to graft the active stitches on the back of the heel together. You can choose whether to crochet or sew the seams, although my grandma says single crochet is the best way. The best part is this little project tucks away neatly in your briefcase if you ever get stuck outside the Coroner’s office waiting for him to tell you bad news about your case. Kristine Rocha’s Two Needle Socks Size: Child’s size for a 4 to 6 year old Materials: One skein of sock yarn, super fine weight. (I used “Bernat sox”) One set of straight US #2 needles or size needed to obtain gauge. Two small stitch holders US D (or #3) crochet hook Gauge: 28 stitches X 36 rows = 4 inches square Cuff: Cast on 40 stitches using long tail method.

German Chocolate Cake w/frosting Recipe Frosting Recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup evaporated milk 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (packed) 3 beaten egg yolks (beat by hand before you add to other ingredients) 1/2 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/3 cup Baker's Angel Flake Coconut 1 cup chopped pecans (roasted) Step one: Roast Pecans: The easiest way to roast pecans is to place them on a plate and microwave them for 1 minute, then take them out of microwave and toss to turn and put back into the microwave for another minute. If they are still not roasted enough put them back in for about 10 seconds and check again, repeat till roasted. Now chop them into small pieces (about 4 pieces per pecan half) Step 2: Mix the following ingredients on a stove set on medium heat for 12 minutes: 1 cup evaporated milk 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 3 beaten egg yolks 1/2 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla Step 3: Once you are done stirring in the above ingredients and have cooked the mixture for the 12 minutes add the coconut and roasted pecans and cook another 5 minutes. Cool the frosting until it is firm and easy to spread. Now for the Cake: 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 3/4 tsp salt 1 cup milk 1 cup espresso coffee or very strong coffee (hot) 3/4 cup vegetable oil (do not substitute for a low cal oil) 2 large eggs Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 3- 9 inch round cake pans. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well. Add milk, Oil, and eggs. Beat at med speed till mixed well. Add hot coffee and starting on low beat till mixed in and then turn back to medium and mix till smooth. Pour mixture evenly into prepared pans and bake for 23 to 25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely on wire racks. To frost the cake divide the frosting into three separate, but equal parts. If you made a double batch make sure you divide your frosting in half before doing this. Then pour one of the thirds onto the first layer, or as much as needed to frost the top so that the top is completely covered. To add other layers carefully slide them onto the last frosted one. Once all the layers are built then frost the top of the last layer and then place one glob at a time on the edge of the cake and work it down to the side covering one area at a time as you turn the cake and add globs to the top edge. The frosting is rather chunky so be patient. I frosted the cakes above so I know you can too :) . Enjoy!

Love makes life a little wilder in this romantic comedy by debut author Katie Shepard. After a panic attack puts him in the hospital, charity executive Teagan Van Zijl is dragged by his sister to a wilderness therapy retreat in Montana. Lost in the woods while absconding from midafternoon meditation, Teagan is nearly eaten by a bear before his rescue by a furious angel in muddy hiking boots: the program's handywoman, Darcy Albano, who was mostly worried for the bear. Darcy thought she was going to work as a trail guide when she was hired onto the camp staff but ended up cleaning and hauling instead--merely the latest screwing-over she's endured since her ex stole her car and her parents ruined her credit score. Teagan becomes the silver lining she didn't expect, a man clearly going through something yet willing to commit to Darcy's unique brand of wilderness education as the cure for what ails him. After weeks in the mountains with Darcy, Teagan doesn't want to return to New York without her. He hires Darcy as his sober companion--a position he doesn't actually need filled and for which Darcy is completely unqualified--hoping she can help him figure out a way to move forward. But once they get to the city, all Teagan can think of is how to confess the truth without losing her. Together, they begin to imagine what their lives might look like if they could depend on each other for help--even in outrunning a bear.

Love makes life a little wilder in this romantic comedy by debut author Katie Shepard. After a panic attack puts him in the hospital, charity executive Teagan Van Zijl is dragged by his sister to a wilderness therapy retreat in Montana. Lost in the woods while absconding from midafternoon meditation, Teagan is nearly eaten by a bear before his rescue by a furious angel in muddy hiking boots: the program's handywoman, Darcy Albano, who was mostly worried for the bear. Darcy thought she was going to work as a trail guide when she was hired onto the camp staff but ended up cleaning and hauling instead--merely the latest screwing-over she's endured since her ex stole her car and her parents ruined her credit score. Teagan becomes the silver lining she didn't expect, a man clearly going through something yet willing to commit to Darcy's unique brand of wilderness education as the cure for what ails him. After weeks in the mountains with Darcy, Teagan doesn't want to return to New York without her. He hires Darcy as his sober companion--a position he doesn't actually need filled and for which Darcy is completely unqualified--hoping she can help him figure out a way to move forward. But once they get to the city, all Teagan can think of is how to confess the truth without losing her. Together, they begin to imagine what their lives might look like if they could depend on each other for help--even in outrunning a bear.
