Episode #47: A Conversation with Sheryl C.D. Ickes (December 12, 2025) Sheryl C.D. Ickes is an award-winning author with the start of a new series, called the Fluff and Flowers Mysteries, which features two tree fluffers who discover a dead body near 100 Christmas trees! We talk not only about the real-life inspiration behind this unusual real job, and how Carlisle PA is featured in Tough Fluff, but also about her three other on-going book series: A Slice of Life Mysteries, The Becky and Rufus Cross Country Mysteries, and her Fairies of Creek Water for younger readers. Because where else are you going to find a book universe filled with truck-driving sleuths, bakery-owning crime solvers, and fairies who fight against theft?
