She discovered a gift for humor and a love for making people laugh with her tales, and the Trailer Park Princess series was born.

Kim loves to not only make her readers laugh and entertain them with a good mystery, but also to examine the issues the everyday people face…well, every day. Issues such as faith and forgiveness, perseverance and tolerance. Set in Lubbock, Texas, the fun books feature a cast of quirky characters, outrageous situations, a drama queen of a dog, and from time to time, a tear or two.

Kim lives with her husband of more than thirty years and two teenage kids in Lubbock, TX.

Lisa B. Thomas

Born and raised in Texas, I always knew I wanted to be a writer. Finally, after thirty-three years as a high school journalism and English teacher, I released my first novel. Having grown up reading Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew, and Agatha Christie, I was drawn to the mystery genre.

I write clean, classic whodunnits with realistic characters and situations. It’s probably because my first book was based on a true-life murder mystery from my own family. That book, Sharpe Shooter, led to the Maycroft Mysteries. I also write Killer Shots Mysteries and the Beachside Bookshop Magical Cozy Mysteries (co-written with Paula Lester.) I call my books “Mysteries with Heart & Humor,” and that’s just what you’ll get.

When not writing, I enjoy my grown husband and dog, my children, grandchildren, grandpets, photography, traveling, and antiquing (aka. buying and selling used junk).

Dangerous Alliance
The Bedlam Series Book 2
United Nations’ sanctions are crippling North Korea. China has turned her
back on her malevolent partner. The North Korean military machine is
crumbling, unable to function. Oil reserves are minimal and the
government seeks new alliances.
Cargo and tourist ships are disappearing along the Somali and Kenyan
coastline at an alarming rate. Speeches abound, but inaction
emboldens Al-Shabab to seek their next prize: Kenya. The terror
organization controls land but requires weapons.
Bedlam Bravo team leader Colonel Trevor Franklin (Ret.) leads the small
international team into East Africa. Tempers flare as the team is
embroiled in a political quagmire. The axis must be stopped to avert
an international crisis but at what cost?
Carnage in Singapore
The Bedlam Series Book 3
Terrorist groups such as Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiyah have flourished in
recent years with new recruits joining them and ISIS-affiliates at an
alarming rate. Blended operations by various Asian countries have
forced the groups to work together to identify a new operational base.
They seek an island nation to call home, one where they can plot against
countries who oppose their ideals. They found a target, a small
nation-state, perfect for their needs: The Republic of Singapore.
Before anyone can respond, the ambassadors of the United States, Great
Britain, and Australia are kidnapped from their residences in
Singapore. Right index fingers of each victim are sent as a warning.
Any attempt to recover the ambassadors will result in the removal of
additional body parts.
Bedlam Charlie team leader, Evelyn Evinrude, leads the group to rescue the
ambassadors and capture the local leaders of Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah
Islamiyah. Can Bedlam succeed or will events escalate, resulting in
more deaths?

Leg Up (Lark Davis Mysteries)
Cozy Mystery
1st in Series
Independently Published (June 1, 2019)
Print Length: 165 pages
Digital ASIN: B07R5GVW3X

A severed leg with no body? Check.
A disturbing lack of coffee? Check.
A murderer bent on revenge and a hot cop using her as bait? Double check.

Larklyn Davis moved to the small picturesque town of Barrow Bay, California, needing a new start on life. She found the perfect cottage house, almost the perfect distance from her ex-husband, and built the perfect stable for her dressage business. But when a severed leg suddenly appears on her front porch, her life takes a turn for the absurd.

As more clues pile up, and the killer not content to leave Lark alone, she’s forced to take things into her own hands. One problem: the hottest detective she has ever seen is convinced she is involved. Detective Brecken Wilson looks like he should be in a movie, not glued to Lark’s side, waiting for the other leg to drop.

There’s not enough coffee in the world for Lark to deal with this crime, the detective who stirs things she hasn’t felt in years, and a matchmaking town, intent help her find the happiness she doesn’t want.

L.A. REMENICKY’s RAGAN’S SONG

Published on by mariacatalinaegan1 Comment

It only took one look into his eyes
for her to know she was in trouble again.

Ragan returned home to celebrate her parent’s anniversary hoping they
would forgive her the secrets she’s kept from them over the last few
years. When she discovered that Adam was still living in Fairfield
Corners she hoped her secrets were safe, secrets that drove her away
three years, secrets that could change both their lives forever.

Adam Bricklin was devastated from Ragan Newlin left town. No note, no
email, no text. She was just gone. It has taken three years for Adam to
finally move past the heartbreak he suffered when Ragan left town. Now
he’s moved on and everything was going well until the day Ragan returned
to Fairfield Corners. Now the melody that he lost all those years ago is
back. It’s the same tune he heard that tells him right from wrong—the
one that sang Ragan was the one.

Even separation can’t silence Adam and Ragan’s song, and now that she’s
back it’s time for Adam to decide if he should let the song die or
breathe life into it once again.

The Witchkin Murders Magicfall Book 1 by Diana Pharaoh Francis Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance

Published on by mariacatalinaeganLeave a comment
Four years ago, my world—the world—exploded with wild magic. The
cherry on top of that crap cake? The supernatural world declared war
on humans, and my life went straight to hell.
I used to be a detective, and a damned good one. Then Magicfall
happened, and I changed along with the world. I’m witchkin
now—something more than human or not quite human, depending on your
perspective. To survive, I’ve become a scavenger, searching
abandoned houses and stores for the everyday luxuries in short
supply—tampons and peanut butter. Oh, how the mighty have fallen,
but anything’s better than risking my secret.
Except, old habits die hard. When I discover a murder scene screaming with
signs of black magic ritual, I know my days of hiding are over. Any
chance I had of escaping my past with my secret intact is gone.
Solving the witchkin murders is going to be the hardest case of my
life, and not just because every second will torture me with
reminders of how much I miss my old life and my partner, who hates my
guts for abandoning the department.
But it’s time to suck it up, because if I screw this up, Portland will
be wiped out, and I’m not going to let that happen. Hold on to your
butts, Portland. Justice is coming, and I don’t take prisoners.
Diana Pharaoh Francis is the acclaimed author of a dozen novels of fantasy and

Rinehart Award and RT’s Best Urban Fantasy. The Witchkin
Murders is the first book in her exciting new urban fantasy series—Magicfall.

Chloe Flowers is an award-winning author and the recipient of the
University of Akron, Wayne College 2018 Writer of the Year Award. She
writes small town contemporary women’s fiction, and historical
women’s action and adventure romance novels about scoundrels,
pirates, and spunky, independent heroines.
Chloe keeps bees, and identifies her hives by the different flowers she
paints on them. Her pets have always been named after her favorite
characters or action heroes: Indiana, Luke, Gimli, Thelma, Rocket,
Forrest, Al Giordino, Severus, Mushu, Mérida, Gibbs, Jack…Dead
Pool (he’s a goldfish).
Chloe’s biggest fault is the apparent inability to say “no” whether it’s
in response to a call for aid or a double-dog-dare to hike home
through 30 acres of a snow-covered forest at midnight…during a full
moon. It was early morning during said adventure when she came upon a
group of sheriff’s deputies searching for a lost girl. So, of
course she offered to help (turns out, they were searching for her).
She is a member of the Romance Writers of America, Northeast Ohio Romance
Writers and RWA Contemporary Romance Writers, The Beau Monde Romance
Writers group, where she served as secretary 2017-2019.
She has given workshops and presentations on creating a critique group,
how to provide effective critiques, story structure, marketing and
self-publishing lessons to writers groups, library patrons and school
children.
In 2014, she started her own small publishing company, Flowers &
Fullerton. Currently, she’s the publisher of record for authors
Sheridan Jeane, Heather Knight, H.O. Knight as well as herself.
Chloe has a weakness for good red wine, Calvin & Hobbes comics, pie,
dark chocolate and brown-eyed guys with beards, which is probably why
she digs pirates, men in uniform and treasure hunters and writes
about action and adventure and of course romance, which is the
greatest adventure of all.
