She's serving up mayhem in the Magic City.... FINAL STRAW Dishing out bad news is Jackie Parker's job. So when her boss grabs her assets one time too many, she serves him her notice and hopes he chokes on it.

Be sure to check out more stellar snippets at the six sentence Sunday blog!
From my WIP, new mystery series Country Fried City Girl. My heroine, Andy, has a full plate dealing with her aging and extremely stubborn grandfather. “Stop talking like that.

Good Christians go to church after they find dead bodies in their houses.” Pops sent me a skeptical look and muttered, “Pretty sure that ain’t in the Bible.” “Well since you were there when it was written, you would know.”
