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
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!
Finally!
Every title of The Jolene Jackson Mystery Series is now on Kindle. AND you can get the first book, Hot Enough to Kill, for only $0.99 and start laughing NOW! Then, keep laughing with Dead Man Falls and Turkey Ranch Road Rage.
And yes, Killer Moves is still in the works. Honestly, after reading back through HETK and DMF again, I have to admit that I spent a lot of time shaking my head while I did it–and laughing. Who wrote this stuff!
Okay, I know who, but my alter ego Jolene is, well, a character! If you’ve read all three of the books so far, here’s an excerpt from the beginning of Killer Moves that will tell you where things are headed next.
Keep laughing!

Welcome!
As some of you may know, life happened about the time Hot Enough to Kill came out, and it really happened in 2000 with the loss of my mom the very week that Dead Man Falls was released. I suppose it was one of those mixed blessing things, since if she’d read it she would have probably killed me, although, she did eventually take a fancy to Lucille and thought it would grand to be “more like her.”
If you haven’t yet caught up with Jolene and Lucille’s latest adventure, check out Turkey Ranch Road Rage, available in paperback or Kindle. There’s also a sneak peek sample chapter of TR3 here, and you can also fast forward to the future with the opening pages of Killer Moves.
And if you’ve missed the first two books, they’ll be available soon in ebook formats.
See you soon with more adventures!
Paula
