Main Character Monday Feat Felicity of the Bean to Bar Mysteries by Amber Royer

 

This week our feature is Author Amber Royer and her Bean to Bar Mysteries. 

Amber shares the characters today. 

Let' meet Felicity . . . 

Hi! I’m Felicity Koerber, owner of Greetings and Felicitations, a craft chocolate shop in Galveston, Texas. I opened my shop to become a hub for the local community. It has become that, but not in the way I had imagined. I got involved in solving a whole string of murders, including one that happened at my grand opening party. I’ve been through a lot since them – including finding love again, which as a widow I never thought I would do. But tada! I’m engaged. Just look at that ring. (Of course, I proposed to him, and if you don’t want any spoilers on how that happened, you should look for the story in Something Borrowed, Something 90% Dark, which is the sixth chronicle of my adventures.) 

 

I’ve also rekindled old friendships and built new ones, which is how I wound up here, in Japan, with a whole group of people supporting my chance to exhibit at a chocolate festival in Tokyo. My fiancé is here, of course, but so is the blogger – now podcaster – who I felt was the bane of my existence when he first started writing about me in his blog. But I dunno. Ash grows on you after a bit, and we’re actually friends now. That’s happened with a number of people. I’ve learned to be more nuanced in how I deal with confrontation, and to give people more of a doubt. Which is why I’m trying to be patient with the fellow exhibitor at the chocolate festival who seems to have taken an instant dislike to me. Maybe she has a reason I don’t know about, and I can work to smooth it out?

 

Of course, that’s not nearly as important as solving the latest crime I’ve found myself in the center of. The minute we landed at the airport, some jerk stole my phone. And later, when I followed him trying to demand it back, I found him dead. Only, then his body vanished. And very few people believed me when I explained what had happened. Thankfully, my friends at least believe. I’ve got to figure out what happened and soon!

 

In case you’re curious: I love Cajun food! One side of my family is Cajun (the other side is Italian) so I know how to cook a lot of it, and I’m spoiled by having a Cajun restaurant across the street from me. I like sushi too, and I’m looking forward to trying new foods in Japan. I used to be a physical therapist, which comes in handy from time to time for the whole amateur sleuth thing. And I am definitely a beach girl, though I have traveled to both mountains and rainforests. I love going new places!

I hope you enjoy my story!
