Auburn native Nicole Beaudry, who writes cozy mysteries as Nikki Weber, will discuss the first two books in her new Maine Campground Cozy Mystery series. The setting for the books is inspired by the author’s summers spent at a family campground in Franklin County.

Although she’s a life-long reader, Beaudry had never heard of the cozy mystery genre until a few years ago. She’ll talk about how she discovered the genre and how stereotypes about Maine influenced her description of the setting in her first book, Campfires & Corpses.

Beaudry will also discuss the second book in the series, Whoopie Pies & Alibis, which will be available everywhere on June 10. Both books will be available for sale, and signing. Payment accepted by credit card, PayPal, or cash.

Nicole Beaudry grew up in Auburn, is a resident of Lewiston, and has deep roots in Androscoggin County. She loves stories—reading them, telling them, and writing them. Although she has travelled widely and lived in many different states and countries, her first book was inspired by her experiences from right here in Maine. She publishes under the name Nikki Weber, her stubborn alter ego. Her books can be found at the big book retailers, at independent book stores, and at your local library.
