Bon Voyage, 'Calamity' and Crew


      It’s a case of ‘murder-lite’ when Tressa Jayne Turner and the Townsend/Turner wedding party set sail on a celebratory cruise which also turns out to be a ‘custom cruise light’ for the Midwestern meat-eaters.

      Hi everyone! I’m really excited about my sixth (and final?) ‘Calamity Jayne’ whodunit, scheduled to hit bookstores October 28th!

      With her grandma wedded and bedded (eeow!) Tressa Jayne Turner is looking forward to the weeklong cruise that follows. Good food. Warm beaches. Romantic sunsets. A swashbuckling ranger-type, Rick Townsend, who shivers her timbers. Nothing can take the wind out of Tressa’s sails this time.

      Nothing except this Love Boat’s the Titanic. For one thing, it’s a lo-cal “biggest loser” cruise. For another, Tressa’s bad-boy faux fiancé and his marriage-minded aunt are stowaways, and Tressa’s barely got her sea legs before a dastardly murder plot bobs to the surface. It’s a foul wind that’s blowin’--and not from the exercise-obsessed passengers. Add one whale of a Bermuda love triangle, and Tressa knows just how Captain Jack Sparrow feels when the run is gone.

      Yo ho ho and a bottle of V-8! Arrgh!

      How so you say, ‘Ding! Ding! Ding! Iceberg Tressa dead ahead?’
