Laura Elizabeth discusses her debut cozy mystery book, "All is Now Lost," rooted in the South Carolina Lowcountry home of Carr Jepson and her Books & Brew bookstore - where teas are not the only things brewing.

Welcome to Mongin Island - the South Carolina Lowcountry home of Carr Jepson and her Books & Brew bookstore- where teas are not the only things brewing.

As the story opens, Carr is starting a new chapter in her own life as she finds an empty storefront is the answer to her dream: creating a gathering spot that sells books, serves tea, and celebrates the island's beauty through her photography.

All goes well until the morning when a photographic outing to a remote corner of the island with her friend Barb winds up - well, you'll discover what they find in the pages of All Is Now Lost.

Laura Elizabeth enjoys a well-established career in business as well as a rich family life that, many years ago, took her to Daufuskie Island for the first time. Together, the family embraced the wonder they only found in this special place. From her years of family experiences on the island, Laura now imagines Mongin Island as the home for her cozy series The Island Mysteries. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and two children who all still enjoy time together on "their" island.

Books will be available for sale and signing.
