Sometimes the best way to know a person is by asking questions, where you can learn more about what makes them tick. Let’s see who we have today.

What is your name?
– –  Kendrick Lowry. Kenni for short.

How old are you?
– –  I’m twenty-eight years old.

What is your profession?
– –  I’m the sheriff in the small town of Cottonwood, Kentucky

Do you have a significant other?
– –  I’m excited to announce that I’ve been dating my deputy, Finn Vincent.

What is his name?
– –  Finn Vincent

What is his profession?
– –  He’s a deputy sheriff of Cottonwood, Kentucky

Any children?
– –  Zero~but maybe someday~far away someday

Cats, dogs or other pets?
– –  Oh yes! Duke, my deputy hound dog.

What town do you live in?
– –  Cottonwood

Do you rent or own?
– –  Own. . . actually inherited my Poppa’s house on Free Row. Technically the name is Broadway St. not Free Row, but it’s known as Free Row because of a lot of the residents live off commodity cheese and stuff.

House or building complex?

Who do you work with when sleuthing?
– –  That’s a tricky question. Finn of course, but (don’t think I’m crazy) the ghost of my Poppa is my ghost deputy. See, my Poppa once was sheriff of Cottonwood and it killed me when he died. It wasn’t until we had a murder did he show up in ghost form. Now, he shows up every time there’s a murder. It’s a secret and Finn doesn’t know. . . yet.

In two to three sentences, what is a typical day in your life like?
– –  Coffee first. Then a quick drive around town to make sure everything is good. After a long day of work, I like to relax at home with a beer, Duke and Finn by my side.


You can read about Kenni in Six Feet Under, the fourth book in the “Kenni Lowry” mystery series. The first book in the series is Fixin’ To Die.

Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth. And let me tell you, this broth is in trouble. Get ready for a Southern showdown.

The residents of Cottonwood, Kentucky are sent into a tizzy when the Culinary Channel comes to town to film an episode of Southern Home Cookin’ with celebrity chef Frank Von Lee.

Especially Sheriff Kenni Lowry.

Her mama’s award-winning chicken pot pie is what brought Frank to town, and they don’t make hair in the South bigger than her mama’s ego after the news.

When Frank Von Lee is found dead from food poisoning and the most likely culprit is Mama’s chicken pot pie, Kenni’s poppa, the former sheriff, comes back from the Great Beyond to assist in the investigation.

But nothing’s prepared Kenni for such a personal tie to a case, and she finds herself pushing the limits of the laws she’s sworn to protect.

This book’s so delicious it’ll make your mouth water and leave you hankerin’ for more.
