Since Lois Winston, she who writes about me,
suggested we start out the New Year by inviting authors and their characters to
share their best of/worst of experiences on the blog, she insisted I also share
mine. Well it seems obvious to me that the worst moment of my life happened
when Lois decided to take over my life.
Pre-Lois I was a happily married middle-class
suburban working mom of two teenagers. Post-Lois? Hey, there are seven books
and three novellas that document everything she’s put me through since she
first decided to mess with my life, and there’s no sign she’s about to stop
anytime soon. Rumor has it she’s hard at work on Book 8. Not only did she knock
off my husband, she decided he was living a secretive life that involved
gambling and loan sharks, leaving me with debt equal to the gross national
product of your average Third World nation.
You’d think that was more than enough, right? Oh no!
Lois wasn’t finished messing up my world. She stuck me with a cantankerous
communist mother-in-law who is now permanently ensconced in my house—until
death do us part. The woman has never had a kind word for anyone other than her
deceased son and her fellow commies.
Still not satisfied, Lois decided to put my life in
jeopardy, not once, not twice, but continually. She turned me into a reluctant
amateur sleuth—emphasis on the reluctant.
Trust me, I don’t go looking for danger. I don’t need to. Lois thrusts it upon
me on an almost daily basis.
So there you
have it, the worst thing to ever happen to Anastasia Pollack. And the best? Two
words: Zachary Barnes. Except Lois wasn’t satisfied to give me a new love
interest. She had to complicate my life further by hinting that he may be much
more than a photojournalist—and the much more involves certain government
agencies, the alphabet kind. He says it’s all in my imagination, that my
worries are groundless. I say it’s all in Lois’s imagination, and I don’t trust
her.
Anyway, Assault With a Deadly Glue Gun, the
first book in the series, has been on sale all month at 80% off. Tomorrow is the
last day of the sale on Amazon and iTunes. If you haven’t yet read how Lois turned my life upside-down and sideways, now is your chance to find out at a huge savings.
Assault With a Deadly Glue Gun
An Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 1
When Anastasia Pollack's husband
permanently cashes in his chips at a roulette table in Vegas, her comfortable
middle-class life craps out. She's left with two teenage sons, a mountain of
debt, and her hateful, cane-wielding Communist mother-in-law. Not to mention
stunned disbelief over her late husband's secret gambling addiction, and the
loan shark who's demanding fifty thousand dollars.
Anastasia's job as crafts editor for a
magazine proves no respite when she discovers a dead body glued to her office
chair. The victim, fashion editor Marlys Vandenburg, collected enemies and
ex-lovers like Jimmy Choos on her ruthless climb to editor-in-chief. But when
evidence surfaces of an illicit affair between Marlys and Anastasia's husband,
Anastasia becomes the number one suspect.
