Cordially Invited – LIVE on Amazon!!!

Cordially Invited is now LIVE and available in digital & paperback formats!

Description:

You are cordially invited…

After a mishap involving a stripper and a coffin, event planner Lucky Gould-Bang is fired for the third time in three months. When a position for Post Conviction Coordinator pops up at the Bureau of Prisons, Lucky jumps at the chance with no clue what it involves. Finding out she will be planning recently re-instated executions, Lucky finds herself dealing with an ambitious Governor, smarmy death industry executives, protesters and a spree murderer cum pastor on a regular basis, all while trying to do the Governor’s bidding by putting on ‘family friendly’ executions.

At the Governor’s request, to attend the execution of…

Madison Madigan is tired of everyone seeing her as Lil’ Maddie, First Granddaughter of the state of Illinois. She’s Governor now and she will do anything to win the office on her own merit, even if she has to rely on voters from the other party get there. She reinstated the death penalty over her Party’s wishes and now she’s determined to make it something everyone is talking about…and not because a run of the mill death by electrocution turned into a barbecue. Her key to winning is Pastor Bishop Parsons–will she commute his sentence or won’t she–now all she has to do is make a decision.

On this day at the following time…

Pastor Bishop Parsons doesn’t deny his sordid past. A former drug addict on Death Row for the spree murders of ten people. But twenty years into his sentence he is a reformed man; Pastor of the largest e-church in the country, fundraiser for the upper crust and media darling. He’s not ready to die and he’ll do anything he can to stop it…even invoking his religion.

10 Things You Don’t Know About Alex

Since my dear friend Alex would never tell you her deepest secrets, neither can I. But as her best friend in the whole wide world, I do know tons of other embarrassing facts and tidbits that I could be persuaded to reveal for the right price.

Hint: the right price is usually something I can eat or drink, or both.

Despite her tough exterior Alex is a big ol’ softie, which you’ll find out when you read her story A Little Bit In Love. But here are a few things that didn’t make it into the story! Continue reading 10 Things You Don’t Know About Alex

Alex’s UP All Night Tequila SUNRISE

Typically I find tequila the perfect drink for one of my many shot glasses but when Shellie and the girls are over I need something a bit sweeter for their ladylike palates. But you know me, I can’t just leave a Tequila Sunrise at the basic old recipe!

So I’ve added a few twists that I think you’ll enjoy. If not, skip everything but the tequila and the jalapeno and shoot it back like its Spring Break 1999! Continue reading Alex’s UP All Night Tequila SUNRISE

The ladies at Writers Can’t Shine Without Readers did an author spotlight on yours truly–thanks so much! But what’s really cool is the audio excerpt, at least I thought so. If you haven’t had time to check it out yet, go HERE and listen!

If you haven’t jumped on the Mustang Prairie bandwagon yet, let me tell you that the lovely ladies in this town are loyal, loving, kind and caring. They are looking for love–sometimes in all the wrong places, as the song says–and this time around they won’t settle for less!

When Noel Hampton brings KitchenMart to town, he’ll have to go toe-to-toe with this spunky firebrand if he wants success. Find out what kind of sparks fly when these two come together!

Alex the lead in A Little Bit In Love, is Shellie’s best friend and frankly, she’s sick of the dating scene and she’s calling a time out on men. She has plenty to worry about with her gym/spa/salon World of Wonder, her friends and the small town she loves. But a holiday fling touches Alex more than she expected and Baxter isn’t willing to give her up. Can their affair last in the real world or is their short but sweet romance all that was meant to be?
