Southern Indiana Author Back on Bestseller Lists

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Sept. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- On September 20, Caroline Fardig's cozy mystery, IT'S JUST A LITTLE CRUSH, popped up on Comic Fiction and Humorous Fiction best seller lists on Amazon at #66 and #83 respectively. Last month, Fardig hit #2 on both lists, as well as the Women Sleuths list. But this wasn't Fardig's biggest accomplishment. IT'S JUST A LITTLE CRUSH reached #1 on two Barnes & Noble best seller lists on August 17. It's sales rank overall was #17 on B&N.com. The novel remained on best seller lists for three weeks.

Fardig was born and raised in a small town in Southern Indiana. The fictional town of Liberty in her novel was based off of her home town. She still lives in that same small town with an understanding husband, two sweet kids, two energetic dogs, and one malevolent cat.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE CRUSH Blurb

The sleepy town of Liberty hasn’t seen murder in…well…ever. Residents are stunned when the body of a young woman is found strangled, and reporters at the Liberty Chronicle are thrilled, rather disturbingly, over the biggest news story to hit town this century.

Lizzie Hart has even bigger problems. Lately, she can’t seem to concentrate on her job as copy editor at the Chronicle with the new hunky investigative reporter, Blake Morgan, swaggering around the office. How can a girl work when she’s using all of her energy combating Blake-induced hot flashes and struggling to repress the giggly inner schoolgirl that’s constantly rearing her dorky head? It’s a good thing that Blake barely knows Lizzie exists.

After an odd string of events, however, Lizzie begins to wonder if Blake is really as fabulous as she has fantasized. When Lizzie and Blake find a co-worker dead, Blake’s personality changes completely—and not in a good way. Even though the police rule the death as an accident, Lizzie immediately suspects foul play and senses a connection to the recent murder. She is determined to bring the killer to justice, but is having some trouble getting her Nancy Drew on thanks to the pesky stalker she’s picked up—Blake Morgan. Wait, didn’t she want him to follow her around and pay attention to her? Not like this. Blake has turned from cool and smooth to cold and downright scary, making Lizzie wonder if he should be next on her suspect list.
