Temporarily Insane
by Vicki Batman
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Comedy Mystery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
No man.
Bad job. And Murder. Hattie Cooks is still searching for her dream job and one
might be available...in the Big Apple, far from friends, family, and Allan
Wellborn, the man who still makes her heart race. In the meantime, she finds
temporary employment at an accounting firm where two auditor friends turn up
dead.
Detective Allan Wellborn dropped Hattie for Blonde Bimbo who, coincidentally, is employed at NLB where fishy things are taking place. When Allan interviews Hattie, he must determine why
all
signs point to her as a suspect.
Can
Hattie discover why Allan dumped her and who is murdering auditors before death
strikes again?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
“We
need to cover the ground rules.”
“Ground
rules?” His brow vee-ed. “Is this normal?”
“Absolutely.”
I nodded. “The ground rules are: No kissing. No hugging. No whispering lovey-dovey
stuff in my ear. No nothing. Understand?”
“I
understand, but I thought people in love do this.”
“Let’s
set the record straight right now—we are not in love. And here’s another rule:
don’t speak to anyone.”
“Don’t
talk to anyone—why not?”
Noticing
the bizarre look on his face, I relented. “Okay, you can talk. Just say one
sentence.”
“Is
this a weird family thing?”
“Nope.
It’s a Hattie-who-is-being-nice thing.”

ReplyDeleteDid you always want to be a writer?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the great excerpt with us!
ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you so much for hostessing me.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lisa! I hope you can check out my fun book. I promise at least one laugh.
Hi, clojo9372: What a great question. I began some writing at age nine and penned a few poems. Always wrote good papers. Was an avid reader. Edited four newsletters for groups I was involved in. I confessed to a friend how I wished I could write and she said I could do it. In the end, it took me a long time to try. I'm glad I did, though. Sometimes, you have to live life.
Hi, DanieX: my pleasure.
This sounds so funny! I'm dying to find out why he went with the bimbo.!
ReplyDeleteAll the best!
Hi, Melissa! Well, our detective has a very good reason, but he's a by the book kinda guy and keeps Hattie out of the loop. They have a great almost sex scene. Teeheehee
DeleteThis sounds funny and interesting! You can't help but like Hattie! Sounds like a great book!
ReplyDeleteHi, Rose-Marie! Haven't we all had our moments when things/life isn't going our way and we have to wade through the mess for a while? And btw, if she wasn't in a mess, I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be a story. Hugs!
DeleteI liked the excerpt, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi, Rita! I'm so glad you liked the excerpt. I had so much fun writing geeky Stuart Steems.

ReplyDelete--Trix
Hi, Trix! and you will love this--one of my characters is named Trixie, after Trixie Belden.
DeleteThis sounds like a really fun read, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Victoria! My pleasure.
DeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteWhere do you find the inspiration for your stories?
ReplyDeleteHi, Mai T.! Inspiration usually comes from something someone says. For example: my son's girlfriend broke up with him and he dragged into my office while I was working and said, "I have a theory about love." My head with bing! I held up a finger and said, "One sec." Scribbled down that phrase and shifted into *mom mode* so he could unload. But all the while my head was humming and I couldn't wait to dive into that.
DeleteMy first draft is mostly dialogue, then I go back and revise, add, edit. It's a long process. Thanks for posting.
Have a great Tuesday and thank you for the opportunity to win
