New Release! 

 Here's what's going on with Jolene and Lucille  this time...


No matter how hard she tries to escape her Texas roots--and her mother--Jolene Jackson finds herself dragged back to Kickapoo to deal with both. This time, there’s an RV park going in behind Lucille’s house and they want her property too. She’s not selling and has joined up with a dubious group that just rolled into town to save lizards. Protest rallies are underway, and with a naked lizard girl in a cage on the courthouse lawn, Jolene knows that quicker than you can say “I’ll have an ice tea with that chicken basket” things are about to get much worse.

Drill rigs and earthmovers are at work in the mesquites behind the house and they aren’t making camper pads. The owner of the would-be-park land turns up missing, the leader of the lizard group turns up dead and there’s rabbit chow raining down on Main Street. And when her own family skeletons start flying out of the closet, Jolene’s got to find out who’s after money, who’s after blood, and who has a deadly case of Turkey Ranch Road Rage.

Note: Random excerpts will be posted on the Announcements page if you'd like to get a glimpse at this adventure's antics.

 





I hope you enjoy the new adventures of Jolene and Lucille, and maybe even get a laugh or two along the way. I am reasonably sure you will, at some or several points, at least shake your head...

Wishing you much laughter!
Paula

Hot Enough to Kill

Jolene Jackson would rather be anywhere but Kickapoo, Texas. But when her 72-year-old mother's boyfriend gets himself murdered and Lucille winds up in the county jail because of it, Jolene has to deal with it.  With Lucille at the top of the murder suspect list and the dead mayor's wife is in town with her own agenda, Kickapoo is a hotbed of scandals. There's also trouble with a county commissioner, the ATF's found enough weaponry to outfit a small militia and rumors are flying as fast as the chicken is frying. And when bullets from a driveby shooter nearly kill her would-be lover the sheriff and then barely miss her own head, Jolene's got a personal interest in finding out who's on the loose in the mesquites with a rifle and Hot Enough to Kill.

An excerpt from
Hot Enough to Kill is included in the University of Texas Press' Lone Star Sleuths: An Anthology of Texas Crime Fiction (2008).

Dead Man Falls
Thanks to her old sweetheart, Sheriff Jerry Don Parker, high school wasn't that bad for Jolene--if you don't count the scandal with the non-teaching English teacher, the daily death threats from a jealous rival or the cocky come-ons from the perverted principal. Okay, maybe things weren't that great after all, but with bodies turning up faster than beer cans in the river, they're a darned sight worse now. And it doesn't help matters that Rhonda-the-lying-slut Davenport is telling anyone who'll listen that Jolene ought to be the one showing up dead.

Dead Man Falls
won the 2001 WILLA Literary Award for Best Original Paperback.
