Geriatric Delinquents
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.

Messages from the grave expose a web of corruption.
Vanessa Fitzgerald wishes she had never heard of Bobby Ray Ledbetter, a released convict who murdered her husband and abducted the couple’s eight-year-old daughter after brutally beating and raping the young mother.
While in a medically induced coma, Vanessa receives messages from her husband’s grave—vital clues in an otherwise cold case. But after recovering, the communications cease.
Under the guidance of renowned parapsychologist, Dr. Sebastian Dietrich, the transmissions resume, providing valuable leads into her daughter’s location—and Bobby Ray’s accomplices. Buoyed by his success, Dietrich longs to harness eternity’s knowledge and power by bridging the divide between the living and the dead. He accepts a guided tour into the afterlife from Vanessa’s deceased husband. But will his journey lead to the rescue of the Fitzgeralds’ daughter? And what about the others involved in the web of corruption? Only Vanessa holds the key to A DOOR UNLOCKED.

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.
I'd also love to read what you think of Geriatric Delinquents. Leave a review on Goodreads and/or Amazon.
