I hope someone here is willing to bid on an autographed copy of Deep in the Heart. Mainly because I want you to get something and I want a bigger donation to go to Kulture City for ASD kids and their families. Would you please consider bidding? Here’s the direct page:
The LIFT 4 Autism Auction is open for bidding!

“My oldest was diagnosed with autism in 2009 just days before my husband left for Afghanistan. He was gone for eight months while I navigated the autism world alone with a two-year-old and a baby. I turned to romance books to keep my sanity. I found out about LIFT and felt so empowered that the community that helps keep me sane as I walk through autism was raising money for autism!”
— Michelle, Romance Reader & Autism Mom
A banquet for the bookish, the online auction features more than 300 signed paperbacks, hardcovers, full series sets, out-of-print covers, foreign editions, cannot-even-buy event tickets . . . and MORE, all donated by authors, publishers, bloggers, readers. Just people who wanted to be a part of something to help autism families.
Since 2016, LIFT 4 Autism, a charitable initiative organized each April by authors Ginger Scott and Kennedy Ryan, has raised over $100,000 to benefit families living with autism. All proceeds go to non-profit organizations serving the autism community. This year’s charitable partner is Kulture City, whose programs serve the autism community with compassion and generosity.

A Heritage of Death Releases October 23
An unconventional woman. A brutal murder. To solve the case, one woman will look for help from beyond the grave…
Cici Gurule wants to pretend her dream is nothing more than a meaningless nightmare. But the bruised and bloodied woman looked alarmingly like her. When a baby turns up on her porch–a baby who was reported missing days before–evidence points to a connection with the woman in Cici’s dream, and she can no longer ignore the nighttime vision. Cici and Detective Sam Chastain struggle to follow the garbled evidence, but the killer scores his victim first. Worse, a message pinned to the victim’s blouse states, “You’re next.”
Now, it’s a race against the clock to keep the baby safe and find the murderer before his trail goes cold. Cici’s only chance to solve this mystery, before she becomes the next victim, means choosing between her faith and believing a message left by her ghostly twin.
A Heritage of Death is the second novel in a compelling female sleuth mystery series for fans of Ruth Ware and Gilly MacMillan. If you like convention-shattering heroines, vivid Southwest settings, and a touch of the paranormal, then you’ll love Alexa Padgett’s twisty mystery.

A Pilgrimage to Death Received a Kirkus Star Review
Back in 2008, I worked as an associate literary agent for Irene Webb. It was my dream job: read books and get PAID to do so. I mean, that’s so much fun.
What wasn’t so much fun? Navigating the wonky aspects of the publishing world. How to get a new author noticed? One of the best ways was a strong Kirkus review.
That’s why I’m doubly excited to get to say A Pilgrimage to Death received Kirkus’s top honor–the coveted star. A pretty little blue icon that says, basically, “We like you.”
I like being liked. Feels nice.
But more than a positive critique, I hope you, my readers, enjoy this new installment straight outta Alexa Padgett’s quirky mind.
Warmly,
Alexa
P.S. A PIlgrimage to Death is now available on all platform in paperback. It’s a really pretty book, y’all. I hope you pick up a copy.

Are you an iBooks reader?
If you are, I’d REALLY like to give you something. It’s called a promotional code and it will get you an Advanced Reader Copy of my mystery, A PIlgrimage to Death. I still have a few left, and I’d hate for the codes to go unclaimed. So…email me or find me on Facebook. I’d be thrilled to give you a copy!
Videos meet A PIlgrimage
I have my first-ever mystery coming out August 14. I’m really excited about the response thus far. I adore the genre–as a reader–so getting to write one…a dream come true!
And to make the situation even sweeter, Chris Philpot has made me some AMAZING videos. Here’s my favorite. What do you think?

Preorder a Pilgrimage to Death Now!
They murdered her sister. They threatened her church. But their day of reckoning will cost her everything…
When Cici Gurule finds the dead body of a parishioner in the nearby Santa Fe National Forest, she’s horrified to realize the victim bears the same stab wounds that ended her twin sister’s life one year earlier.
Now, as a freewheeling, progressive reverend who’ll stop at nothing to protect her flock, she’ll need to join forces with her detective friend and loyal pair of Great Pyrenees to hunt down the killer before she’s forced to officiate another funeral.
Soon, however, Cici discovers her sister was on the trail of a deep-rooted criminal operation, and her death was no random act of violence. With the criminals out for Cici’s blood, she needs to catch the wolf by the tail…before it goes in for the kill.
