Mace Of Spades

It isn’t easy being a murder victim. Most particularly if the murder part didn’t take. Then to add insult to injury, you end up being stuffed into a trunk for some seventy odd years in an extremely arid climate which causes your body to mummify. But this is exactly what happened to Hank Skinner. Now a shriveled shadow of his former manly self, but much to his relief, still very much a man, Hank is discovered in the attic of his wife’s house by his granddaughter, Jo. As it turns out, his wife, May, had tried to kill him when she caught him in bed with another woman. She did however succeed in killing his well endowed bank robbing mistress, Clash, and stuffing her remains in another trunk in the attic.

The discovery of her granddad’s mummified - yet living - remains doesn’t help Jo’s mental state too terribly much. She’s already dealing with turning forty, she doesn’t need her long- thought- fugitive grandfather to suddenly reappear, most particularly in a mummified state. It also doesn’t help that he keeps hitting on her - not really believing she‘s his granddaughter. The one good thing that does come from her discovery is that it proves her granddad didn’t help Clash rob the bank. But if Clash was killed right after robbing the bank then just where is the money? It’s not in the attic, so where could Clash have hidden it? It’s this very search that leads Jo, Hank, Ava (Jo's Mother) and her sister Faye, on a rather humorous and mind-boggling adventure.

Cryptozoologist Dr. Seth Herne is dismayed. Have the flying feral pigs gone Kamikaze? It appears so when Doc and his loyal assistant, Jacey, discover a body in the middle of a rural road near Tree, Texas. The road is littered with various pig parts scattered here and there thus giving the impression of a Kamikaze pig. But Doc can't be bothered by a murder, he has a giant horny toad to find. If he accomplishes this task then he will go down in history as the greatest cryptozoologist ever. A thought he finds rather amusing.

But the murderer thinks Doc and Jacey know more than they let on about the dead body. So an attempt to squash them doesn't deter them from their quest. Doc just hopes the flying feral pigs will protect them from this maniac and lead him to the ever elusive giant horny toad. Yeah, right, when pigs fly! Oh, wait a second...

When a former high school classmate dies, three "sixty-something" widows are determined to prove that the cause was nothing less than foul play. Certain that they know the culprit, the ladies turn the lives of everyone around them upside down in their hilarious quest for justice.

“...one of the top Romantic Comedy/Humorous Mystery writers out right now.” – Ereader News Today

Customers who enjoy books by Janet Evanovich are sure to enjoy MS AMERICA AND THE OFFING ON OAHU, the debut mystery in a fast and hilariously funny series about how being a beauty queen can be murder …

Ms Ohio Happy Pennington finds out it’s not all sequins and silicone when she competes on Oahu for the Ms America crown—the first national title of her life.
When her fiercest competitor tumbles dead out of the isolation booth during the televised pageant finale, Honolulu PD gets to thinking Happy might have killed her.

What’s the only thing a beauty queen worth her sash can do? Nab the real killer—even if that means tangling with snarky rival contestants, a local who claims to be Hawaiian royalty, a brooding helicopter pilot, and a pageant emcee hot enough to die for ...

* * *
Author Diana Dempsey never competed in beauty pageants but she did the next best thing: she worked in TV news. After a dozen years as an Emmy-winning anchor and reporter, Diana hung up her mic to become an author of fast and fun romantic fiction.

Her novels have been called “almost impossible to put down” (Romance Reviews Today), “skillfully plotted and filled with realistic detail” (Library Journal), and “spicy, sexy, and sultry” (Booklist). Her first novel was nominated for a RITA award for Best First Book by Romance Writers of America; another was a Top Pick of Romantic Times; a third was a selection of the Doubleday Book Club.

Brett Sargent is a native New Yorker transplanted through the Witness Protection Program to the urbane metropolis of Little Falls, Arkansas. Despite her “I Miss Bill” bumper sticker, Brett’s not fitting in so well. She doesn’t like people who drive too slow, eat too fast, or wear too much camo (and let’s face it—that pretty much sums up most of the Little Falls demographic). Her only consolation is a new career as a private investigator and her canine sidekick, a Boxer named Dude.

All is well until a client’s husband turns up dead with a Mafia poison pen letter stabbed to his chest—someone has figured out the real identities of protected witnesses in Little Falls. Brett tackles the case with the dead man’s tracksuit-wearing wife, Elaine, and her smokin’ hot redneck brother, Jake. These mysterious siblings are more a hindrance than a help, though—they forge family photos, can’t agree on the way their parents died, and are on a first name basis with the Mafia’s best hit man.

Brett’s search for the killer will reveal the truth about Elaine, Jake, and a full cast of Arkansan characters: a one-eyed repairman, a shotgun-wielding racist, a vindictive Kroger clerk, Bible thumpers, and a shoplifter named Rick James who just might be the best friend Brett’s been waiting for.

Praise for the Tea Series: I got a copy of the last book first, and just had to get the rest of the series. As the title implies, these were fun reads and had just enough intrique and mystery to keep you reading, long after you should have turned off the light and gone to sleep. Loved the main character...perky, sassy, and quirky enough to be believable as the girl next door. – Nonna

The characters in the Tea Series are people you'd like to know and part of a family that welcomes you with open arms. More than 150,000 copies of the books in this series have been sold. You will find that each book in the series is a fast and fun read. Each installment is a hybrid of the traditional novel and the serial novel (each book is a full-length novel and leads directly into the next book - the series is best when read in order.)

The First Four – The Tea Series is a bundled set of the first four books of the Tea Series.

Hot Tea -- Cara O'Flynn finds herself in an unusual position. She's quit her job and can afford to take a few weeks to find a new one, plus, her roommate has run off and left her with an empty room to fill. If she can just accomplish those two tasks before her mother finds out she has no income and no one to help pay the bills, she will be in good shape.

The problem - Cara didn't plan for three careers in as many days nor did she anticipate the new guys that dropped in her lap. And then there's her sister Teagan, always helpful and funny, she can be a bit annoying at times.

When you are Irish, all things (good and bad) come in threes. It's inevitable. Cara should have remembered not to forget that part.

Cara and Teagan bring laughter, intelligence and family tradition to every experience then encounter.

Sweet Tea - Cara and Teagan are dealing with wishes come true. The good news is that each of them has found the man of their dreams, unfortunately this is not news easily broken to their traditional mother. Further complicating their lives, they find themselves in the middle of a serial murder investigation; worse still, Cara may have come to the attention of the murderer.

With their lives spinning slightly out of control, some of it good, some of it not, Cara and Teagan depend on each other, humor, their family and their not so common sense, to keep them going.

Iced Tea - Cara and Teagan are dealing with wishes gone awry. The serial murderer, if there is one, is still out there. The new guys are supportive, as is the family, but Cara and Teagan don't want the people they love most in danger. Knowing there is a serial murderer in your sphere of influence is disorienting. What you do has consequences, but that doesn't mean you see them in advance.

The crazy cop is around more than ever. There is a wedding to be planned and although Cara has always been the organizer of the family, she's not even kept in the loop.

Life has been spinning out of control for some time and now it's up to Cara and Teagan to put it to rights.

Green Tea - Cara and Teagan are more determined than ever, but determination without focus doesn't get you very far.

There's a wedding just days away. A time to celebrate and enjoy family and tradition, but Cara keeps her distance as situations outside of her control threaten her in ways she is just beginning to recognize. Things are changing quickly and Cara needs to come to terms with the fact that one of the people she loves most may not be around much longer.

Cara and Teagan finally get to the bottom of one mystery, only to find another much closer to home.

The First Four – The Tea Series is approximately 276,000 words and is now professionally edited and formatted.

My Boss is a Dead Man is the follow-up to the comic, office-based romantic suspense tale, My Boss is a Serial Killer.

Carol Frank has enough on her plate, working as the office manager at a new law firm while trying to rekindle a romance. Being suspected of murder certainly throws a monkey wrench in the works. But a bad boss from Carol's past - one her friends will know as the Psychotic Sadist - has disappeared under very mysterious circumstances, and Carol is at the top of the Kansas City Police Department's suspect list. The fact that, years ago, she might have hatched the murder plot herself does not make things any easier for her, nor does the fact that her fingerprints are on the murder weapon.

Finding the solution isn't in her job description, but Carol was never one who could leave a mystery alone. The course of her investigation reveals much more than she expected. How does one conduct a successful job interview with a kleptomaniac? Is the most prestigious law firm in town cloning its secretaries? Is it possible to fit both herself and Gus Haglund into her tiny shower stall? How does one talk to her boyfriend's ten-year-old son? And just exactly how many uses are there for a collection of glass paperweights? Once again, Carol pours all her secretarial skills into solving the puzzles of passion, greed and job interviews that emerge when she realizes My Boss is a Dead Man.

Sabine LaVeche needs to locate a blood relative fast – her life depends on it. When Helena Henry shows up offering help, Sabine knows she’s really in for trouble when it’s the best idea she’s heard in a while. When private investigator Beau Villeneuve takes on her case, things heat up in more ways than one, but as they begin to uncover the secrets of Sabine’s past, the one thing that becomes clear is that someone doesn’t want Sabine to get the answers she seeks.
