JUST ADD WATER, first in the series, introduces Hetta, a sassy Texan with a snazzy yacht, and she's not afraid to use it.

Book 11 finds her in Texas, and living in an RV until her boat goes missing back in Mexico, and in Just On Porpoise (12 ) her attention is drawn to the almost extinct Vaquita, and JUST SO WRONG (1

JUST FOR THE BIRDS, HETTA #10 AD

Where, or where, does the time go?
That age old question can be easily answered by anyone who writes book! It goes into writing, editing, marketing and all the work required to actually publish a book.

So, it is with great delight that I am able to release another Hetta Coffey novel on July 17 (available for preorder now.) Hetta Coffey #10, Just for the Birds

“It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.—Noel Coward”
Jinx Schwartz, Just The Pits

“A joke by fellow Texan and humorist Jack Handey sprang to mind: When I die, I want to go peacefully like my grandfather did—in his sleep. Not yelling and screaming like the passengers in his car.”
Jinx Schwartz, Just The Pits

“Hell, Frijòle, it ain’t against the law to drink whiskey in Texas. Yet. If it was, we could just build a fence around the whole territory and call it a jail,”
Jinx Schwartz, The Texicans

Reece Thank you for liking my Goodreads page. I hope your reading experience
is giving you satisfaction. Maybe you would like to check out my books; I’d
love you to read one or two and maybe rate and write a review.
Let me know and I will do the same for you?
Reece Pocock

Jinx Schwartz Ha! BTW my boat is named High Jinx.
This weekend my YA (but suitable for all ages) will be free on Amanzon at http://amzn.to/r9QYuR, so maybe you can start with that one.
I will have a free book (Including the ones you missed) on Amazon for the next 2 1/2 months!
Tnaks for friending me.


message 3: by Zoë

Zoë Sharp Hi Jinx (LOL, just realised how that sounds. In future I'll put 'Hello Jinx', as I have to with friends called 'Jean')

Thanks so much for Friending me here. Love the idea of your Hetta Coffey Mystery Series. I'm now kicking myself that I just missed your promotion. I'll just have to go out and buy a copy of the first one instead :)


message 2: by Beth

Beth Hi Jinx,
Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery author on Goodreads!


message 1: by Nancy

Nancy Damato Bisbee is the setting in the first two books of my historical trilogy--three generations of women who survive by their own cleverness. Love visiting. The history of the area is so exciting.
