When a flirty young paramedic offers him a place to crash, Troy’s not so willing to give in. He’s never needed help before.

<span style="color: #181818; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia;">World-class statistician and poker prodigy Daisy Drake has
two rules: never risk anything you can’t afford to lose, and never, ever, trust
a gambler. Which is why she gave up the game and moved to Los Angeles, where
she became a tenured professor. But when an old acquaintance calls needing
Daisy’s...expertise...to help catch a cheater, she heads back to Las Vegas and
the poker tables.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #181818; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia;">FBI Agent Ryan DiNatto’s been a gambler since he was four, and a
hustler since he hit puberty. Coming off an undercover mission that ended with
him shot and his partner in a wheelchair, Ryan’s out for blood. With a mob
accountant and a hit man on the loose, the stakes have never been higher, and
this time, he’s determined to make things right—even if it means beating
spunky, sexy, Daisy Adams at her own game</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #131313; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-language: JA;">When West Virginia wild child, Glory Allen enters a
private poker game with her town's dreams at stake she loses it all. To make
matters worse, she's trapped in a car with the sexy but infuriating man who
won—and accused <i>her</i> of cheating. Now because of <i>him</i>, she's on the
run from the mafia who put out a hit on the stuck-up casino magnate with the
toe-curling good looks—and he isn't even her type. So why can't she cool the
explosive chemistry between them?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

crazy. Yet she's the only one willing to put her neck on the line…for <i>him—</i>a
complete stranger she professes to hate. Now he's in debt…to <i>her</i>. And
it's a debt he's willing to work off any way she wants…on the hood of his
sports car, in a waterfall—wherever she'll have him, he's willing to pay the
price.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Virginia—helping Luke escape has put Glory and her hometown in the sites of
someone who wants him dead. This time Glory decides she's not going to end up
empty-handed—it's time for the winner to take all and she won't stop 'til she

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 19.32px;">The last thing police chief Graham Tyler needs is a ragtag bunch of circus freaks rolling into town.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 19.32px;">Then he meets sassy, spirited, ringmaster Belle-Anne Black.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 19.32px;">Belle-Anne's got a rule against dating townies, and she's not about to break it... even for the spicy hot lawman who makes her insides sizzle. Then Graham makes her an offer she can't refuse: one night only, no repeat performances.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 19.32px;">Of course, in the circus nothing ever goes exactly to plan.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s the new urban frontier, but this isn’t the 1800’s and the safety valve theory of American expansion is dead and buried. People who move here drawn by cheap land and endless opportunity are often surprised to find an existing population that is uninterested in being colonized by East Coast escapees, an entrenched city government that has held on through Detroit’s recent bankruptcy, and a long list of things they can’t afford, like transportation and clothes.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Located in the heart of the American auto industry, Detroit’s public transportation system is inadequate and often disappointing. Aging buses don’t come on time and often breakdown. The much heralded M-1 rail line will only go 3.3 miles up one street, making it more of a shuttle for suburban visitors parking to go to the new stadium district than a useful form of transportation, and the existing People Mover light rail continuously circles downtown on its 2.9 mile loop. For 75 cents it’s the best way to see downtown, but I can walk from one side to the other in five minutes and given the city’s 142 square miles of land it’s pretty much useless unless you want an excuse to shout “Monorail!”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But why would you take public transportation in Detroit? It’s the Motor City not the Light Rail City, but for those of us who live here the cost to drive is extreme. Detroiters pay some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country and—as a result--more than half of the cars on the road are uninsured. Why the high prices? Part of it is Michigan’s insistence on unlimited liability insurance, but Detroiters still pay around twice the amount of drivers in nearby suburbs. When I moved to Detroit I priced insurance for a new car and it would have been more than rent… a lot more. I ended up in a used station wagon with over a hundred and fifty thousand miles on it, and at times I’ve paid over $300 a month for liability only insurance. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And anyone moving to Detroit is going to need a car for their frequent trips to the suburbs to go shopping. Housing might be cheap, but in the city even basics like blue jeans are expensive. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Those same businesses that have been heralded as proof of Detroit’s rebirth in national newspapers and magazines are untouchable by the people who live nearby. I can buy a house for a thousand dollars through the Detroit Land Bank, but if I want a pair of jeans it’s going to cost… a lot. Walking around Midtown Detroit I can buy locally made jeans perfectly crafted from American grown cotton for $250 dollars a pair (actually, I can’t. My boyfriend can, but for women the jeans are all custom made… which means they cost even more). I could also get a t-shirt made out of technical cashmere that can be thrown in the washing machine. It legit feels like it was made by fairies. I legit cannot afford it; or the underwear handmade in San Francisco; or the watches made a few miles down the road. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A food market in my neighborhood has just been renovated and repurposed as an upscale leather goods store. I haven’t been inside. I have nightmares about the price tags. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, yeah, there’s blight. Yeah, houses are cheap (in some neighborhoods) and there are streets full of empty storefronts waiting to be turned into pie stores and cute little markets. For people who live in New York City where the rent is too damn high, Detroit might seem like a new frontier full of opportunity. </span></div>

<br />
I haven't blogged in a while but I have a couple of very exciting announcements!<br />
<br />
Next year I will have books coming out with two different publishers, and in two different genres!<br />
<br />
I have two new romantic suspense books coming out with Entangled Publishing. These are spiritual follow ups to Leaving Las Vegas (have you read it yet?) and I'm really excited about them!<br />
<br />
Upcoming Entangled Publishing books:<br />
<br />
All In<br />
The Wild Card<br />
<br />
I am also starting to write in a new genre ~ Male/Male New Adult Romance ~ and I have three books upcoming with Carina Press. These are new adult books about young men finding their paths... and the path of true love never did run smooth!<br />

Note: This post is most useful if you have never read the
Terry Pratchett books before and want a map for rereading them. There is
another post for people who want to reread the series available <a href="http://aleahbarley.blogspot.com/2015/03/discworld-machete-reread-order.html">here.</a> </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld universe is a complicated series
of 41 books involving a host of characters from all walks of life. They are
fun, fascinating, and fabulous, but reading them in chronological order can be
exhausting because of the many interconnected story lines. This is one order
that might help make order out of chaos. (I’m also not doing a lot of
commentary because I don’t want to give spoilers).<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, so if you’ve never read the Discworld books before
then DO NOT READ THE FIRST THREE BOOKS. The Colour of Magic, The Light
Fantastic, and Equal Rites are all fun fantasy novels, but the universe isn’t
fully baked and it will make it harder to get into the later novels. If you
really want you can watch the two-part television adaption <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Terry Pratchett’s The Colour of Magic</i>. It stars some guy I’ve never
heard of as Rincewind, but—more importantly—Sam Gangee is Twoflower!! Plus Tim
Curry and Jeremy Irons!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<o:p> </o:p>Note: This post is most useful if you have read the Terry
Pratchett books before and want a map for rereading them. There is another post
for first time readers trying to get into Terry Pratchett<a href="http://aleahbarley.blogspot.com/2015/03/how-to-read-terry-pratchetts-discworld.html"> here.</a></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld universe is a complicated series
of 41 books involving a host of characters from all walks of life. They are
fun, fascinating, and fabulous, but reading them in chronological order can be
exhausting because of the many interconnected story lines. If you’ve already
read some of the Discworld books and are looking for a way to go back through
the series, this is one method that might help make order out of chaos.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Let me know what you think in the comments.</div>
<h2>
Discworld Machete Reread Order:</h2>
<h3>
The Rincewind Books:</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The Colour of Magic (1983)</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The Light Fantastic (1986)</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="text-indent: -24px;">The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic
are the first two Discworld books. They are short funny fantasies that have
almost nothing to do with the later novels (okay, they are where the Librarian
turns into an Orangutang, so there’s some carry over… but not a lot). By the
end of these two novels lovable wizard Rincewind has gone through various
trials and come out stronger for it… a better stronger Rincewind? No, thank
you. If you want you can skip these two books entirely and just watch the
two-part television adaption </span><i style="text-indent: -24px;">Terry
Pratchett’s The Colour of Magic</i><span style="text-indent: -24px;">. It stars some guy I’ve never heard of as
Rincewind, but—more importantly—Sam Gangee is Twoflower!! Plus Tim Curry and
Jeremy Irons!</span><span style="text-indent: -24px;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Sourcery (1988)</span></li>
</ul>
Love Sourcery, I think this is a great
introduction to the concept of other Wizards and Unseen University without
making them look like unrepetent morons (see Equal Rites).<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Eric (1990)</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Moving Pictures (1990)</span></li>
</ul>
<b>NOT
A RINCEWIND BOOK!</b> The early Discworld books (I know, in Machete order we
still haven’t gotten to Equal Rites… patience). This book doesn’t have Rincewind,
but it provides the context necessary for Interesting Times and (especially)
the Last Continent. It also introduces Ponder and Ridcully, so… you know…
awesome.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Interesting Times (1994)</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The Last Continent (1998)</span></li>
</ul>
Don’t worry, gentle reader, Rincewind will
show up again in other novels! But, these are the essentials.<br />

Some Random Books (Discworld Culture Edition):</h3>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
These are both ‘Discworld Culture’ books
according to Wikipedia. I don’t know what they’re smoking, but I’m buying.
These two books don’t really have any recurring characters, but they’re
awesome. Read them. Especially the parts in Pyramids that introduce the guild
system in Ankh Morpark (and the assassins, never forget the assassins… they
won’t forget you).</div>
<h3>
The Death (Not Susan) Books:</h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Mort (1987)</span></li>

Okay, so Equal Rites was the third
Discworld published and it’s another one where the basis of the world isn’t
fully developed. It introduces the world and a not quite fully developed Unseen

story.</div>

Never mind, so pretty...<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">I started an account on tsu yesterday (you can check me out here: </span><a href="https://www.tsu.co/aleahbarley" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">https://www.tsu.co/<wbr></wbr>aleahbarley</a><span style="font-size: 13px;"> ) and I really like it. I tried out helo and a couple of other different "facebook killers" but this is the first one that I think will stick around, because:</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">The interface is amazingly pretty... so pretty... </li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">There are some writers/bloggers I recognize who are there already and using it in a productive way (Rockstars of Romance, etc.).</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">All your friends and followers see all your posts.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Apparently they're going to share advertising revenue with users, I'm still trying to figure this out but it's an interesting premise.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><u>It can hook into your facebook/ instagram/ twitter/ pinterest/ tumblr/ etc. so you can post to a bunch of places when you post to tsu. So you're not losing anything.</u> I like that alot.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div>
Mostly I just love the interface... So pretty...</div>

Apparently that stuff goes bad after a few months so my two year old mascara definitely needed to be tossed) and I bought a double-sided Bite lipstick from one of those bins near the counter.<br />
<br />
You know what I'm talking about... Don't lie.<br />
<br />
I'm not a big lipstick girl but I loved it... seriously... this stuff is like lip crack. It's creamy without being too heavy. It doesn't smell or taste like much (I used to have a cheesecake flavored lipgloss but I ate it). It's made of food grade products in Canada (my neighbor to the south... roflmao... seriously, I live in Detroit, check it out on a map). Bite lipstick is a definite WINNER.<br />
<br />
A few weeks later I went back to Sephora for a full sized lipstick in a better color... dun-dun... lightning flash.<br />
<br />
I suck at picking colors. I really, really, suck. So, I have a new technique I'd like to share with you. It's called "Go to Sephora and Get Someone There To Help."<br />
<br />
Sephora's great. It's full of friendly people who know about makeup, are paid to help you, and will give you samples of super expensive moisturizer to try out (moisturizer reviews coming soon!). A nice woman swatched some against my hand and was like "this one."<br />
<br />
It's called Rose and it looks great.<br />

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Romance Adventures Blog Hop. My name's Aleah Barley and I write rip-roaring romantic adventures including car chases, explosions, clowns, and zombies... not all in the same book. :)</h4>
<div>
Sometimes people ask me how I come up with ideas... the truth? When I get stuck while writing a book I add a rush of action and then like to see how my characters handle the crazy fall out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course... in real life my biggest adventure is trying to eat all the Thanksgiving leftovers (without gaining a hundred pounds). In a death defying feat that critics are calling "hilarious" and "unrealistic" I'm attempting to eat most of a turkey, half a pumpkin pie, six mini apple pies, chopped liver, cheese, and ALL THE STUFFING. What about you? What's your biggest adventure for 2014?? Leave a comment below to win an e-book copy of one of my books. </div>

<br />
I know what you're
thinking... how could you possibly do that Aleah? You had a
plan. You were going to have one hundred dollars in spending money a
week! You were going to stick to it and be awesome! Maybe you overspent
on Sunday--25 dollars in takeout is an awful lot, but Indian food is
totally worth it--but you got right back on track. You took your lunch
to work. You recommitted to buying black coffee instead of lattes
(seriously though, work coffee has gotten so, so bad). There's no reason
you should be over budget.<br />
<br />
Okay, maybe three reasons:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Purity Cleanser by Philosophy bought online from Sephora--I'm out of
cleanser and I need a new one. My cousin uses the Purity Cleanser and
it is super awesome. It's definitely superior to the Aveeno cleanser
that I've been using. Plus, there was a coupon for some free eye cream
and... there goes <b>$34 dollars </b>(including shipping). It was kind
of pricy, but I was going to make up for it by not spending money on
anything else for a few days... that didn't work.</li>
<li>Kitty litter--I should have thought about this in advance. I ran out
the other day and it's not exactly something you can put off buying. I
bought the cheapest kitty litter per pound... but that meant getting 42
pounds for <b>$16 dollars</b>. Thank you, Petco. (Okay, it's actually
cheaper then if I'd gone into the locally owned pet store near my house
and walked out with an extra twenty dollars in dog toys, but still...)</li>
<li>Socks--Okay, this was a bad idea. I bought super fancy socks online.
I had a coupon. They were two for the price of one (one pair for me and
one pair for my boyfriend). They appear to be made out of *mumble
mumble science magic.* For each pair you buy they donate a pair to a
person in need. They cost<b> $9 dollars.</b></li>
</ol>
<div>
And that's how I completely blew my budget. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Plus
side, I made enough dinner tonight to have lunch for the next million
years (a little lentil soup goes a long way) and I'm still working my
way through all the applesauce I made. (I bought a bushel of apples for
$8 dollars at market last week). So, lunch should be cheap for the rest
of my life (lol, but seriously... it's a lot of soup). I can drink the
horrible work coffee instead of buying any out. And, I've got plans for
dinner the next few days. Can we call that a win??</div>

people just stopped buying lattes they could save so much money!!! And
thus began the gospel of "give up something cheap you like today for
moderate savings in the future."<br />
<br />
Let's do the math.<br />
<br />
I buy *mumble mumble* lattes a week...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Okay,
I buy five lattes a week. That's two before work, two while I walk the
boyfriend to class, and one on the weekend. Minimum.<br />
<br />
My
five lattes cost me between three fifty and five dollars each
(depending on where I'm going and the loyalty card I use--love me some
loyalty cards). Let's call it $4.25 for maths sake.<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<br />
$4.25 * 5 = $21.25 spent on lattes every week.<br />
<br />
$21.25 * 52 weeks/year = $1105<br />
<br />
To
be clear... that's a lot of money. I have some bad habits and I'm
working on them. I do not expect you to spend that much on lattes.
That's about ten percent of what I live on in a year (not including
money that goes directly to savings/investment accounts). Ten percent of
my spending every year goes to lattes.<br />
<br />
And I'm not
going to stop. I like lattes. I really do. I also like chatting with the
woman at the coffee shop in the morning and I love walking my boyfriend
to class. I love the way a hot latte makes me feel like anything is
possible. So, I'm scaling back. No more lattes in the morning (maybe no
more at night... le sigh). Instead, it's black coffee all the way... and
lattes when someone else is paying or I have a free one through my
loyalty card.<br />
<br />
Let's do the math at five black coffees a week instead of lattes:<br />
<br />
$2.25 * 5 = $11.25<br />
<br />
$11.25 * 52 = 585<br />
<br />
It's still a lot of money (close to 6% of my spending in a year) but it's just a little better.<br />
<br />

Last year I went as the Wicked Witch of the East. Black dress. Striped tights. Red high heels. (Give me an idea for this year's costume in the comments--or just tell me one of your favorites--toenter to win an ebook copy of one of my books... drawn on Halloween). My two books with Entangled are <b><a href="http://amzn.to/1dp6EGb" target="_blank">Leaving Las Vegas</a></b> and <b><a href="http://bit.ly/TooHotToHandlebyAleahBarley" target="_blank">Too Hot to Handle</a> (</b>Tagline: He stole her heart, she stole his car).

They'd drive to the party in Jack's classic Dodge Super Bee and halfway through the night Honey just might have to change into a princess costume to match Jack's knight... or an outlaw outfit fit for a female Robin Hood.<br />

There were no thai restaurants, no fancy coffee shops, and no dog parks. Today, we've got three dog parks:<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>The Detroit Dog Park on 17th and Rose Street--It's got a killer view of the train station and is close enough to Astros to pick up a flat white on the way. The dogs are friendly. No small dog area.</li>
<li>Shinola Dog Park on Cass and Canfield--Privately owned by Shinola, the fences are a little lower and there is a small dog owner (although everyone hangs out in the big dog area). The dogs are friendly... the people are a little more pretentious. You can walk to Melt afterwards for an ice cream.</li>
<li>Grand Circus Dog Park at Adams and Woodward--Downtown dogs and downtown people. If you live downtown then this is the park for you. Otherwise... there's no parking.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Which one is your favorite? Did I miss any? Have you seen any zombies at them??</div>

Set in Detroit, the Dead Sexy series is made up of fast paced adventure stories with lots of mystery and tons of romance. The heroine is a mortuary attendant/hunter and the hero is dead... really dead... he's a zombie.<br />
<br />
Some people have been asking: "Why zombies? Why not vampires? Vampires are sexy." I totally understand. Vampires are sexy. Brad Pitt is sexy. James Marsters is Sexy. Robert Pattinson is sexy. True Blood is all about the sexy. Why is that?<br />
<br />
First, let's take a look at vampires:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Vampires are gentlemen: they're sleek and well mannered. They're vaguely European. Modern day guys suck (not literally). Vampires aren't like that. If you've ever read a historical romance and said "swoon, I want a duke" then vampires might be for you.</li>
<li>Vampires are mysterious. They only show up at night. They wear lots of black. Sometimes there's velvet involved.</li>
<li>Vampires are forbidden. They're bad boys, but they're clean bad boys with bank accounts that have been collecting interests for decades. They drink blood--sometimes in glasses! Hey, it's just like red wine! You like red wine!</li>
<li>Vampires want you. They must have you. Vampires find women entrancing. The pulse of blood through a vein is more seductive to a vampire than Angelina Jolie doing a strip tease. </li>
<li>Vampires must show self control. In order to earn your love a vampire must first... not kill you. He has to show restraint. He can't just force you down on the nearest flat surface and suck you dry. He has to earn your trust and your love... which is pretty easy because he's got the whole "lord of the night" thing going on.</li>
<li>Basically... vampires are Christian Grey.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Next, let's take a look at zombies:</div>
<div>
<ul><a href="http://bit.ly/DeadSetbyAleahBarley" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPEtulqm6PZbP1w4N3O_9jOFLwUrV3SLMDkXdj_r39HiBRE1T7n-on_aCKuTMvIcBPsKxYK8FKg99TvasDzm4rpjt93B5b20_hU1uho_aNjb3XN8x61Kn2Q-V8-TtfB-qRzNi-ThkNak/s1600/deadsetebook+copy.jpg" height="320" width="214" /></a>
<li>Zombies are not gentlemen. They're rough around the edges. If a vampire is an old fashioned gentleman ready to pull out your table and whisper sweet nothings in your ears then zombies are rough, tumble, and dirty. They're not the duke. They're the stable boy who's ready to take you for a long hard ride. Forget Bill Compton's Southern Gentleman, my hero--D.S. Thomas Conroy--grew up in Hells Kitchen, fought for the north, and died in the mud. Then he got back up and did it all over again.</li>
<li>Zombies are not mysterious. They're around twenty four hours a day. They don't care about velvet. D.S. wears suits when he's working (think James Bond... but undead... and American) and blue jeans when he's not. When he's stripped down naked his body's covered in scrapes, scars, and black stitches holding his rock hard abs together.</li>
<li>Zombies are bad boys, but they're not clean and they don't care about bank accounts. They don't drink blood. They eat meat. Raw. D.S. is All-American. He likes steaks and burgers. If he's drinking then he'll take a beer--cold. </li>
<li>Zombies still want you, but they're not going to stop with your blood. A feral zombie will tear you apart. A zombie who's kept himself together just wants to feel alive. </li>
<li>Zombies don't have self control. Like I mentioned, a feral zombie is a monster who fights with his teeth out. That's the kind of zombie my heroine--Gemma Sinclair--hunts and she's good at her job. They don't feel pain and the only way to take them out is to destroy the brain or stun gun them into temporary submission. My hero is tall, dead, and sexy, but when he smells blood in the air instinct takes over and he's ready to rumble.</li>
<li>Basically... zombies are Clive Owen in Shoot Em Up.</li>
</ul>
<div>
So, if you like books about motor cycle clubs, mechanics, and MMA fighters then you're ready to read some rough and tumble urban fantasy novels starring zombies... not vampires.<br />
<br />
Tell me what you think... are you a sleek and sexy vampire fan? Or are you a rough and tumble zombie kind of girl? What about werewolves?</div>

<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">A corpse slammed into me from the side, the scent putrid and
gut wrenching. Brute force sent me flying, and I careened into a crumbling
wall. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The job was supposed to be easy, but when you hunt the dead
for a living, easy is relative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I rolled back onto my feet and checked my stun gun. It had
less than half a charge, enough to take down a human or a charging mountain
lion, but not enough to incapacitate a full-grown Biter with a taste for human
flesh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Damn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The stun gun clattered to the floor, and I grabbed for my
Bowie knife. The best way to incapacitate a Biter is to jolt them full of
150,000 volts of electricity. Second best is to take out the major joints,
knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles. Take out a kneecap and even the most nerve
damaged dead man will pay attention. More importantly, without their kneecaps
they can’t keep themselves upright to attack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The pair of dead men I’d been fighting circled warily.
Strips of skin were hanging like Christmas ornaments off their faces, but they
weren’t completely feral. They still had enough sense to watch out for my
knife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“What’cha. Doing. Little. Girl?” The one on the right
growled. “You. Shouldn’t. Be. Here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“That’s what I keep telling myself.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">My name’s Gemma Sinclair, I’m twenty-one years old, and I’m
a mortuary attendant. Back before the rising that would have meant preparing
bodies for viewing and holding the hands of grieving relatives. These days, it
means that I hunt dead people for a living. Monsters. Biters. Zombies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Not that I’d ever
use the ‘z-word’ in polite company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">We were in Brush Park; a neighborhood just north of downtown
that’s dotted with empty lots and broken mansions built when Detroit was still
booming. Empty houses make perfect nests for feral Biters and the neighborhood
had been abandoned twelve years ago, shortly after the dead started rising, but
now a real estate developer thought he could make some money by putting in
new—zombie free—condos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">H&K Development’s folly was my gold rush. I’d been
hanging around in the neighborhood for most of the week, kicking undead ass and
collecting two hundred fifty dollars in reward money for each Biter I turned
over to the police. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Tweedle-Dee—and his buddy Tweedle-Dumber—were the last
Biters left conscious in the northwest quadrant. If I took them out then I got
a bonus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">My mother would be so proud.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Tweedle-Dee started circling. His eyes were bright with
blood lust. His teeth were gnashing together hungrily. “Gonna. Getcha. Little.
Girl. Gonna. Getcha.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Just keep thinking that.” I edged to the side, putting my
back squarely against the wall. My fight or flight instinct was kicking in big
time, and the dusty dining room’s wooden door was looking more inviting by the
minute. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Unfortunately, nobody hands out bonus checks for running
away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I adjusted my grip on my knife and charged across the
creaking floorboards. My knife slashed at Tweedle-Dum, aiming straight for his
eyes, even while I pivoted hard onto one leg. A bruised rib screamed as I threw
my entire weight behind the move. For a moment, I thought my body might rebel
entirely, but then muscle memory took over—I work out at a boxing gym in
Southwest on the days when I’m not doing yoga in Midtown—and I brought my
booted foot up to kick him solidly in the knee. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Crunch. Bone and cartilage splintered as the Biter faltered
and hit the ground. His lips never stopped smacking together. One of his cheeks
had rotted away, and I could make out the gnarly edges of his teeth as they
chewed at the air. He started to crawl towards my leg. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Clack. Click. His teeth banged together awkwardly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Gonna. Getcha. Little. Girl.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“My father’s the
only one who ever called me little girl.” I shoved my boot down on his other
knee, grinding his bones into dust. “I hated when he did it too.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I backed up
slightly and took a running start for one last kick. My work boots are heavy
leather with wooden soles and steel capped toes—the same safety equipment that
workers wear in the plants—but I can be pretty light on my feet when I need to
be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“I hated when he
did it too.” I slammed my foot into his head like it was a soccer ball and this
was the final game of the season. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Crack. His neck
snapped backwards in one easy move. He wouldn’t be biting anyone again without
a neck brace and a couple of steel pins. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The Biter rights
advocates would give me hell if they found out, but for the moment I didn’t
care. I turned to his friend.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Tweedle-Dumber was
the one who’d thrown me into the wall. Up until this point, he’d remained
quiet. When he opened his mouth, I saw why: the dead man’s tongue was gone
along with the entire back of his throat. Most of the rest was black with rot
and white with mold.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Unfortunately, his
teeth were still intact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">One bite from
those teeth and I’d start feeling woozy, a couple of hours later and I’d be
dead… fifty-two minutes after that I’d rise again and join the undead legions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">No thanks</span></i><span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The Biter circled
to the right, his gaze never leaving my throat. For a moment, I thought he
might be trying to come up with a strategy… and then instinct took over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">He threw himself forward,
attacking teeth first. It’s every Biter’s favorite move, and it’s usually
effective. I lunged to the side, bringing my arm up to protect my face. His
teeth connected with the reinforced arm of my leather jacket and he bit down. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Damn it,” I shrieked.
“Do you know how expensive it is to get leather patched?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I stepped forward
while he tried to figure out why his teeth weren’t doing anything against three
layers of cowhide and put my boot through his knee. I repeated the process
before pushing him backwards. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Teeth clattered
onto the ground around him as he slammed into the hardwood floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The two Biters
were definitely incapacitated. All I had to do was dial up my cousin Brody and
have the police pick up the bodies. I could go home to bed. The Department of
Undead Americans would have two new Biters to deal with, and Black Bottom
Realty would cut my check, and everything would be cake. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The toothless
Biter’s mouth kept opening and closing. He started to pull himself forward on
his elbows, trying to get at me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Crack. For the
second time in less than an hour, my boot connected with a Biter’s head. This
time his nose caved in. Bone splintered around his eyes. He was still alive—as
much as an animated corpse could be alive—but there would be no coming back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">What can I say?
I’ve got anger issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I slumped back
against the nearest wall and pulled out my phone. Brody’s number was third down
in my speed dial—right after the office and my mother—and he answered on the
second ring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Who the fuck is
this?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Afternoon,
cousin.” I grinned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Hell, Gemma. Do
you know what time it is? It’s seven in the freaking morning!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Damn. Tweedle-Dee
and Tweedle-Dumber had taken longer to track down than I’d thought. I took a
deep breath and my mind started to swim. “What day is it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“August tenth.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Not the date.”
There was something I was forgetting. “The day. What day is it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Friday.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Crud.” So much
for going home to bed. I had less than three hours before my meeting. It was
just enough time to run home, shower, rebandage the cut on my thigh I’d gotten
sliding over a metal railing the day before, and get back to the office. If I
hurried. “I’ve got a pick up in Brush Park—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Call the station.
Talk to the sergeant. I’m off duty.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“I don’t want the
sergeant. I want you. These are the last two Biters in my turf, and I want you
to be a part of bringing them in. You’re the best.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Uh huh, you just
want me because I’ll rush your paperwork, so you can get your reward faster.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“The thought never
crossed my mind,” I lied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Something creaked
further in the house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I held my breath
for a moment, waiting. It had to be a mistake. The house was probably just
settling—or crumbling—old houses did that sort of thing all the time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">There was another
creak, closer this time. Like someone walking across damaged floorboards. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Shit, I wasn’t
alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Duty calls.” I
gave Brody the address of the house. “They’re in the dining room. See if you
can get the paperwork through by tonight. H&K won’t cut a check without
proof.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Damn it—” He was
still swearing when I ended my call and slid the cell phone into my pocket. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I retrieved my
stun gun from where it had fallen. It might not be fully charged, but at least
it might give me the opening I needed to take the man out… or make a break for
the street and call in backup. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The creaking noise
had stopped. Whoever—or whatever—it was, had paused outside the dining room’s
heavy door. The doorknob rattled, and I sucked in a deep breath. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The door started
to open.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Time to kick a
little Biter ass.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I vaulted forward
across the room—pitting my speed and agility against Biter strength—and ran
smack into the sexiest dead man alive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="DefaultStyle" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Hello Gemma,” he
said. “It’s been awhile.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The last time I’d seen D.S. Thomas Conroy had been two
months earlier. The Department of Undead Americans agent had hired me to help
him with an investigation. Quick recap: we caught the bad guy, I lost my
virginity, and then the world ended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">Again</span></i><span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I crossed my arms in front of my chest. “What are you doing
here?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Department business. Confidential.” His gaze dropped to
take in my dusty jeans, my battered leather jacket, and the sliver of cleavage
visible over my sky blue tank top. There was a moment’s pause and his gaze met
mine. His forest green eyes twinkled and his kissable lips twitched up into a wicked
grin. “You’re looking good.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“Uh huh.” I braced myself against the zip of heat that
buried itself deep in my belly. “It’s the yoga.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“It suits you.” He grinned. “Did you get my calls?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“I don’t remember.” He’d called twice. Once right after I’d
run out of his hotel room—leaving him with two orders of huevos rancheros and
no way of knowing why I’d bolted—and once two weeks later after he’d figured it
out. His message had been short and to the point: “Call me. I can explain.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">I hadn’t called. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">“I don’t have time for this. I’m late for a meeting.” I
pushed past him and hurried out the door. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="SectionText" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; line-height: 115%;">The undead are stronger than the living, it would have taken
nothing for D.S. to hold me there… to make me listen while he explained. Maybe
it would make a difference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Hi everyone! I just want to intro Liza O'Connor's post by telling you how excited I am about her new book: The Missing Partner. Xavier and Vic are amazing. They're absolutely my favorite historical detectives... and I'd even put Xavier's deductive ability up against the crime solving prowess of Gemma and D.S. from <a href="http://j.mp/abDeadSexy" target="_blank">Dead Sexy</a> and *brand new* <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Set-Sexy-Book-ebook/dp/B00NQ9NXZ6/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1411175654&sr=8-5&keywords=aleah+barley" target="_blank">Dead Set</a>... although I'd bet on D.S. in a fight, lol. Now, here's Liza to tell you why you should read The Missing Partner!</i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Liza O’Connor was born,
raised badly, left the South/Midwest and wandered off to find nicer people on
the east coast…and employment, there were no jobs in the Mid-west. There she
worked for the meanest man on Wall Street, while her psychotic husband tried to
kill her three times. (So much for finding nicer people.) Then one day she
declared enough, got a better job, divorced her husband, and fell in love with
her new life where people behaved normally. All those bad behaviors has given
her lots of fodder for her humorous romances. Please buy these books, because
otherwise, she’ll become grumpy and write troubled novels instead. And given
her past, they will likely traumatize you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
