PS: My self-help book, Living the Life You Love by Paula Renaye, just won the Independent Publishers Book Awards GOLD IPPY! Details will be posted soon on my other blog, ToughLoveTalk.com.

Free on Kindle this Week!

award-winning mystery authorThis week, March 13-15, 2013, Turkey Ranch Road Rage will be FREE on Kindle!

This is the first time ever that TR3 has been offered free–and may never be again. So, if you want to read it, here’s your chance to do it for FREE.

TR3 is the 3rd in the Jolene Jackson Mystery Series. The books do build on each other, so reading them in order is best, which is why I was reluctant to offer this one for free. But…well…why not!

Besides, you really do need to read this one before the next, Killer Moves, which is in progress and will be out before long. Jumping back and forth across the fiction/nonfiction fence has made progress on slower than I’d planned. It hasn’t, however, taken the edge off Lucille, nor has Jolene benefited much from my self-help side. Although, I will tell you that Jolene has a chance encounter at a bookstore that strongly suggests she do so… Could be good for a chuckle–and a few inside jokes if you’ve read Living the Life You Love by Paula Renaye. Yes, it gets crazy at times!

Hop on over to amazon.com and snag a copy for you Kindle! Wednesday, Thursday and Friday–THREE FULL DAYS FREE!

Coming Soon

Think it would be fun to see your name in a book? Be part of the story? Well, think about it! Details to enter your name to be a character in Killer Moves will be posted soon!

 

 

 

HOT #1 in ENTIRE Free Kindle Store 11/28/12

Hot Enough to Kill was the most downloaded ebook in the entire Kindle Free Store store on Wednesday, November 28, 2012!

Want numbers? 27,500 downloads! I am thrilled beyond words! Don’t know how it happened, but thank you to everyone who downloaded it and who have written to say they loved it–and laughed a lot!

As promised in my last post, I am at the beach! I admit I’ve taken the last two days to do pretty much NOTHING and it has been great! Oh, yes, Jolene and Lucille are busy behind the scenes telling me what to do even when I’m at the beach. And yesterday, I couldn’t help but think about Jolene and her hair curling and frizzing in the humidity, because, well, yes, mine was!

I’ll keep you posted on Killer Moves progress!

Keep laughing!

Killer Moves Brewing

Thank you to everyone who has written asking about Killer Moves!

The title of this post isn’t just referring to the book, however. Things are really moving in my life too on just about every level and it is a crazy-busy and fabulously fun time!

As you may know I also write self-help books, and my new Living the Life You Love: The No-Nonsense Guide to Total Transformation is really taking off! I’m on tour now, but there is a beach condo with my name on it where I can finish the next Jolene book. Jolene and Lucille are really clambering to get out and tell me what’s been going on while I’ve been busy elsewhere, so I am going to have to let them speak. And, I miss them!

I’ll post an update here with my progress and maybe even share another sneak peak at a new chapter, so check back. In the meantime, check out this amazing STARRED review and Critics’ Pick from industry giant Kirkus Reviews on LLYL.

Here’s a photo from the Book Launch Party hosted by the wonderful therapists at Counseling Connections in Hot Springs, Arkansas–a fabulous event! It has been an incredible year!

Thank you for hanging in there with me! Jolene will be back soon!

Have Some Laughs on Jolene this Summer!

Load your Kindle up with all three Jolene Jackson Mysteries and have some laughs with Jolene, Lucille, Leroy, Bony Butt and the rest of the characters in Kickapoo, Texas. Sure, things might go bad for Jolene–they always do when she gets dragged back to her old hometown–but you’ll enjoy the ride.

Speaking of which, you might want to drink and eat cautiously while reading, however. I’ve had a few complaints about trying to swallow and running up on an unexpected funny–specifically, some incidents involving liquid and noses and food spewing across viewing screens. So, you’ve been warned!

Wishing you many laughs!

HOT in the Top Five Women Sleuths!

A few weeks ago, Hot Enough to Kill was featured in an amazon.com Kindle free giveaway and thousands of people took advantage of it, putting Hot at #4 on the Women Sleuths list. It’s still only $0.99, so get a copy now!

Hot Enough to Kill has been re-edited, revised and re-eccentricized. Okay, the truth is that I just intended to clean up the original print version before I published it on Kindle–fix a few typos and little things I missed the first time around. However, one thing led to another, and I got a bit carried away. So, if you read the original print version years ago, give the ebook a try. I sure had fun with it!

As you may know, I also write nonfiction, and I’ve just finished a second book that will be in bookstores in September. It’s called, Living the Life You Love–The No-Nonsense Guide to Total Transformation. I’m very excited about that. And now that it is off into the publishing process, I’m catching up with what Jolene and Lucille have been doing, and it’s not pretty.

I’d like to tell you that Jolene has matured–and she has, a little–but there just hasn’t been a lot of time for introspection lately. I’d also like to tell you that Lucille is now behaving herself and not causing trouble, but, that’s just not how things work in Kickapoo, Texas, now is it?

I don’t know how things can worse, but somehow they do. This time Jolene gets handed keys to the castle–oh, it sounds really good–but there are alligators in the moat, bats in the belfry and a whole bunch of toxic waste mucking up the Texas Tea.

 

Keep an eye out for the 4th Jolene Jackson Mystery, Killer Moves! They need to be read in order, so make sure you’ve caught up with the story!

Here are the books in order:

Hot Enough to Kill
Dead Man Falls
Turkey Ranch Road Rage
Killer Moves

 

Zooming on Amazon!

While I was busy having fun at the Jimmy Buffett concert in Little Rock, Hot Enough to Kill made it into the top 500 books of all Kindle books on amazon.com!

AND, it is currently #32 in Mystery Women Sleuths!

If you haven’t read it yet, get a copy now while it’s still only $0.99!

UPDATE: I didn’t get to watch to see how high in the rankings it made it, but I did see Hot listed at#381 in the entire Kindle Store and #20 in Mystery Women Sleuths, sandwiched between several Janet Evanovich novels, which was fun. Thank you! Keep reading and keep laughing!
