SCARED HITLESS!
First book in the Lemon Drop Martini Club Ladies series, and available on Amazon here!
Think of the “First Wives Club” after menopause but before assisted living, and you’ve got the Lemon Drop Martini Club. Constance, Catherine and Cynthia are three women who’ve been best friends forever. They’re your average female baby boomers…sort of. Constance is a retired CFO, Catherine is a syndicated columnist for a large Denver newspaper, and Cynthia is the best nail tech and hairstylist west of the Mississippi.
These three mild mannered “mature” women have lived fairly uneventful lives until Catherine writes an expose about the head of the Denver Mafia that pisses him off and he puts a contract out on her.
What’s a girl to do? Head for the mountains and Grand Lake Village to hide out with her best friends, that’s what!
But thank God these ladies aren’t your normal baby boomers. They may have French manicures and highlighted hair, but they have no fear, they’re physically fit and they have really cool tattoos. Just saying.
Hiding out isn’t all bad when there’s kayaking, hiking, boating around the lake in their Moomba, bellying up to the bar at the Lariat Saloon for a Coors, or driving up to the Grand Lake Lodge for a Lemon Drop Martini.
But all that ends when they find out the hit man has found their hideout. Watching their backs and turning the tables on the would-be killer becomes their top priority. Because dodging bullets can really wreck a great hair day!
CAJUN SPICE
Second book in the Lemon Drop Martini Club Ladies series, and available on Amazon here!
It’s a ‘girls gone wild’ week when the Lemon Drop Martini Club Ladies kick it up a notch in New Orleans. Constance and crew are in the French Quarter to meet with Beignet Broussard, a Wiccan/Voodoo Queen. She’s the only one powerful enough to help Constance get rid of Clarisse, a bi-polar, man-hating ghost who barged in and dumped herself and her paranormal gifts on Constance during a tarot card reading.
Constance finally has a great man in her life and Clarisse attacks him every chance she gets. How long can Constance hang on to her guy when a pesky ghost keeps picking on him? It’s a no brainer – she’s got to get rid of Clarisse.
But things get complicated when Beignet tells Constance the payment she wants for her services – a spell on Constance that will allow her to see and communicate with the ghost of Jean Lafitte, the famous 17th century pirate. He left a treasure map in code and all Constance has to do is find Jean and get him to decipher the code so the treasure can be found.
The challenge: Find the pirate, decipher the code, hunt for the treasure, and get rid of Clarisse. Challenge accepted: The Lemon Drop Martini Club – the baby boomers with an attitude.
It’s wicked fun and indescribable adventure in the historic city of New Orleans, where Lemon Drop Martinis, Hurricanes, and Huge Ass Beer flow like a river down Bourbon Street!
