I need a break from all those dead bodies. So I scraped together enough birdseed for Mayzie, Lois’s muse, to fly off to Aruba. Honestly, I’m not mean-spirited, but there’s just so much a reluctant amateur sleuth can take before she reaches her limit. And I’d reached mine. In this latest book, I’m on my honeymoon, but of course, within hours of arriving, Lois has me discovering yet another murder victim.
So now with Mayzie gone, Lois has written herself into a corner because the woman is a consummate “pantser” and never, ever outlines her stories.
But Lois knows from experience that sometimes all it takes to lure Mayzie back is to ignore her. So she’s turned her attention to a bit of marketing and has decided to package her three romantic suspense novels (from back in the day when she wrote romantic suspense) into one ebook collection. She’s priced the set so readers get three full-length books for the price of two and is calling it A Triple Date with Danger. If you love feisty heroines and daring heroes, won’t be disappointed in these three novels.
Meanwhile, I’m getting back to enjoying my honeymoon while I can. Mayzie is due back soon, and Lois’s fingers will once again be flying across her keyboard. There’s bound to be another dead body coming my way any day now.
