Carmela Dutra is a writer from the Bay Area who loves food trucks, family, and cozy mysteries. Her debut, A Murder Most Fowl, has been praised by Kirkus Reviews for its “serious set of crimes leavened by plenty of amusing moments,” by Criminal Element for the “juicy reasoning behind the sabotage that was almost as shocking as the murder itself,” and described as “the perfect escapist read, brimming with banter and an extra helping of fun” by New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams. She has also been featured in CrimeReads Magazine.
A lover of humor, quirky characters, and all things geeky, Carmela spends her days sketching, sipping far too much coffee, and over-cuddling her allergy-inducing cats and dog. She lives with her husband and two dinosaur-obsessed sons, drawing inspiration from rainy afternoons, bustling farmers’ markets, and the unexpected moments that make life memorable.

This week, I got to talk with Kaitlin B. Curtice about her new children’s book Spring’s Miracles. It’s such a beautiful story about a Potawatomi girl named Dani, who’s learning to be brave while exploring the wonders of spring. Kaitlin shares the meaning behind the story, the importance of honoring Indigenous traditions, and how this season of new life can help us see the world—and ourselves—a little differently. I loved this conversation and can’t wait for you to hear it!
