The Amazing Gracie Trilogy, Book 2 - Cover Reveal

Gracie's been waking me up in the middle of the night for a couple of weeks now.

"Is it time yet?"
"No. I need sleep. Go away."
"But--"
"No. I can't talk to you now."
"You're no fun when you're sleepy."
"Don't wake me up, then."
"Sorry. I'm just excited."
"Go be excited with someone else."
"Who?"


Last night, I told her people could see the cover in the morning. So for you, and for Gracie, here's the cover for Bluebonnet Ballerina, the second book in The Amazing Gracie Trilogy.

     Gracie Hofner returns, and chaos reignsā€”including a couple of ghosts trying to save their granddaughter. But as Gracie dances from problem to problem, sheā€™s unaware the music has been orchestrated into a murderous symphony.
     When a different melody reaches Gracieā€™s ears from a guitar played by the new tenant living in her garage apartment, her tension vanishes. She listens unseen, cocooned in the shadows on her patio, and wonders who heā€™s longing forā€”and how it would feel for a man to crave her that much.
     She canā€™t dwell on those thoughts, however. Problems of murder and missing prisoners abound. To say nothing of the ghosts. No one ever said being a law enforcement consultant would be easy.

     Bluebonnet Ballerina follows Jalapeno Cupcake Wench and is the second book in The Amazing Gracie Trilogy.

In other news - sort of - Gracie has also been bugging me about jalapeno cupcakes. You remember those luscious dark chocolate cupcakes with a little hint of jalapeno heat. And the creamy dark chocolate frosting.

Now you can be a Wench and bake those yummy jalapeno cupcakes in your own oven. I have the recipe!

and news about the release date for Bluebonnet Ballerina.
See you then ā™„
