First, let me say a big
Texas thank-you to Camelle for inviting me to guest blog. I’m honored and
always happy for the chance to talk about my books.

Before I get to them,
let me tell you a little about myself. I’m a fourth generation Texan and lived
most of my life in East Texas, except for a nine year stay in West Texas. Take
my word; the areas are like two different countries. West Texas is all flat land,
with no trees, and most days the wind blows, sometimes bringing with it dust
storms.

East Texas, on the
other hand, is hot and humid with lush trees and hay pastures. I love both
places.

I’ve been married to
the same man since dirt and still love him with all my heart. After almost
fifty years together, I consider that quite an accomplishment! That’s not to
say some days he doesn’t drive me nuts…because he does!!

I drive an eleven year
old car, because there’s nothing wrong with it, so why spend money for a new
one? I love to shop at re-sale stores. I hate talking on the telephone. A
really sharp pencil makes me happy, and I’m glad wrinkles don’t hurt!!

Now to my books. I have
two published by a small press publisher in New Hampshire, Grey Gate Media.
Both titles, LAID OUT AND CANDLE LIT and YOU’RE BUSTING MY NUPTIALS are
available at most website retailers.

LAID
OUT AND CANDLE LIT, the first in the trilogy introduces
small town girl, Tizzy Donovan, a widow, single mother, sister to the county
sheriff and daughter to the best baker in town. She’s also known as the local
girl who talks to the dead.

When she discovers an
unburied body in the cemetery, she quickly becomes suspect number one.

Enter, Texas Ranger
Ridge Cooper, cutting his teeth on his first solo murder case.

YOU’RE
BUSTING MY NUPTIALS; the second book in the series begins
with Tizzy waiting for her groom on their wedding day. When she’s left at the
altar, she enlists the help of first cousin, Jinx Monroe, and best friends,
Rayann Tatum, and Synola Harper to find out what happened to the man of her
dreams.

It’s not long until
they’re dealing with clowns, yard gnomes, a missing stripper, and a Baptist
deacon.

Many of the characters
are based on my family members or people I’ve known. The stories take place in
the real town of Brownsboro, Texas, where I grew up. Here’s a rundown of my two main characters.

Marjorie
Louise Donovan Cooper, age 26—Nickname, Tizzy, because from
the time she was a little girl, she could lose her cool quickly. Her biggest
accomplishment is four year old daughter, Gracie. The love of her life is
second husband, Ridge Cooper. The thorn in her side is her dead husband, Boone
Donovan, and how he keeps appearing to Gracie. Her best friends are Rayann
Tatum, and Synola Harper.

James
Ridge Cooper, age 34—Texas Ranger lawman. Originally
from Philadelphia, but now calls Texas home. His biggest accomplishment is
becoming a father to four year old, Gracie. The love of his life is Tizzy. The
thorn in his side is trying to keep his wife from helping with his cases. His
best friends are Jinx Monroe, and Bubba Tatum.

The books are written
with lots of Southern Sass and Texas Twang, and although, they are mystery
books, I concentrate heavily on humor with a little romance on the side.

Both books have won
awards and gotten good reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. I’m currently working
on the final installment in the series, which just placed as a runner up in The
Next Big Writer.com Strongest Start Contest. I do hope you’ll check my books out.
I’d love to hear from you. ann.everett@rocketmail.com
