Six Sentence Sunday

From my July ebook release, Who Needs A Hero?

“Hi, you’ve reached the Phillips residence….” The same automated message I had heard that morning, so I decided not to monkey with it. Amber would get to it when she felt like it. I had bigger problems.

“Joshua?” I called again over the machine, wondering where the kid had gone.

I’d been in charge for five minutes and the house looked like hell, the baby remained diaper-less, the toddler was UA, and my dress had been soaked in pee. The fryer at McDonalds was looking better and better.

    I read the blurb for this book and it sounds like a great read. Good luck with the release. Loved your six sentences too. Typical day in the life of a mom, but probably not so typical for your heroine!

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.

FINAL WARNING Despite Logan's objections, Luke asks her to join forces in their own property management team, Damaged Goods. Drawing the line between professional and personal lives proves challenging, especially when Logan serves her an ultimatum--tell Luke the truth about what really happened the night they first met, or he will.

  Have you checked out my new series yet? This is a duology (a finished series of just two books) in the up and coming Women's Paranormal Fiction genre, meaning that the heroine is over forty. Since I'm over forty myself, I have to admit a certain, ahem, bias to the thought of older women becoming empowered with magic and getting into mischief.  Book 1, Over the Faery Hill , is discounted on Amazon for the entire month of April. Get it for just $2.49 at Amazon.com or Amazon CA !

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. You’re an educated man, for cripes sakes. And yes, you are going to church because I want to make sure God doesn’t put you on his shit list. 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.”
