GLUE GUNS FOR CHRISTMAS
A Crossword Puzzle Cozy Mystery Novella
I'm Tracy Belden, and teaching middle school has ceased to be fun. I should get extra credit. I lasted almost an hour. Unlike when I attended middle school as a student, this time, I welcomed being called into the principal's office.
I assumed the principal wanted to ask about my threat to glue gun the tweens to their chairs. What awaited was a case of theft, blackmail, and murder. With the fate of eight teachers hanging on my sleuthing skills, I didn't have a choice.
Now, I have three days to save the careers of eight teachers. Unlike the crosswords I create for my side hustle, the clues to the puzzle don't fit together.
But I'm not worried. I'm sure I can solve this puzzle in time for everyone to have a Merry Christmas.
