I'm very excited to announce that exactly one year after releasing Take the Monkeys and Run, the second novel in that series, Citizen Insane, is now available on Kindle. 
http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-Insane-Barbara-Mystery-ebook/dp/B00564HYTA/
DESCRIPTION:
If you think PTA meetings are boring, then you haven't attended one in Barbara Marr's neighborhood, where MURDER is on the agenda. Join soccer mom and movie lover, Barbara Marr, in this second laugh-out-loud, chaotic mystery, where high-profile crime and suburban living collide in a most unexpected fashion.

Here's a snippet from Chapter One:
There was a time when my life wasn't that exciting. I'm a soccer mom living in the suburbs. The only thrills in my day should be the frantic road races between ballet lessons and the much-too-closely-scheduled orthodontist appointment on the other side of the universe. If you think a stunt driver knows how to maneuver a vehicle, wait until you see me behind the wheel careening through yellow lights with a hundred-dollar dental visit at stake.
So, when I ran a woman down with my mini-van in the middle of the night, only to find out that someone else had tried to kill her with a 45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, I assumed things couldn't get any more dramatic. I assumed wrong. Just twenty-four hours later I found myself in the stairwell of an abandoned building, with a gun in my hand and a female hostage telling me to "do what Keanu would do." I've never met another mother with days like these.
My name is Barbara Marr and I find dead people.
Or, almost dead people.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. The story really started with my need for a foot rub.

Happy reading!
