That seems like a perfect tie-in to me. The Bassett/Vance book did so well (I think) because of excellent promotion. I literally saw that book everywhere, and it had some primo placement at the bookstores in my area. Also, who doesn't love Angela Bassett? That woman kicks some serious butt.

With the cosy mysteries with knitting and embroidery patterns and recipies I wouldn't be surprised with them using this as well.
