Character Post: Tori Sinclair of The Sewing Circle Mysteries

The Moment The Earth Stopped
By Tori Sinclair of the Southern Sewing Circle Mysteries

While I know life can be unpredictable, there are some things I’ve come to expect when it comes to my friends…

Margaret Louise will show pictures of her grandbabies to anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Dixie will always find a way to remind me that the day I was hired as her replacement at Sweet Briar Public Library was the worst day of her life.

Debbie makes the best brownies ever.

Beatrice will never say a harsh word about anyone.

Melissa always smells like baby powder.

And Leona and Rose are like oil and water—they don’t get along. At all.

So you can imagine my surprise (and the way I nearly choked on the cookie I was eating at the time) when Rose told me she was going into business with Leona.

Rose…

And Leona…

Business partners.

I admit, when she first told me, I actually laughed. And by laughed, I mean tears streaming down my face. The whole cookie-choking part came when I realized Rose wasn’t laughing.

Rose Winters and Leona Elkin are now co-owners of SewTastic, the brand new sewing shop in downtown Sweet Briar. Yes, I know, Leona doesn’t sew. But apparently that doesn’t matter anymore than the fact that these two women despise one another.

Or did.

Now, when I walk by their shop on the way to the library, I see them inside…talking. Sometimes even laughing. And the other day? They went shopping together.

Together.

Rose and Leona.

Like they’re actually…friends.

Which is why I can’t shake this feeling that something really bad is about to happen…
