RELEASE DATE: Jan. 1, 2023

Geriatric Delinquents, a cozy southern parody, is a departure from my usual paranormal fare.

This novella is about two sisters who risk their reputations to defeat a marijuana proposition supported by their famous rock-star brother.

The original manuscript was written in 2016. At the time I never expected a marijuana proposition to come up for a vote in my state. Little did I know my work of fiction would become a true story. When legalization hit the November ballot, a re-write became imperative. I decided to poke a little fun and mix in plenty of parody. As one of my beta readers will attest, "you will be chuckling all the way through and burst into laughter on occasion."

You can pre-order the Kindle version now and take delivery on Jan. 1, 2023, at which time the paperback will also be available.

Yesterday I promised big news. Here it is. I'm giving away 100 copies of Geriatric Delinquents in ebook format. Enter the giveaway here:

Geriatric Delinquents is almost a true story about a fictional marijuana referendum. I originally wrote the story in 2016, but then set it aside for a few years. Low and behold this work of fiction became non-fiction. Initiate-65 appeared on the ballot in my home state. I had to rewrite the story to reflect the new details. Of course, I decided to poke fun and include plenty of parody. You can read all about it in the book’s introduction.
