Back at Trailertopia, I killed the Monster Carlo’s engine and I practically ran into my trailer. I slammed the door behind me, my heart hammering. It was him. It was definitely him. I put my hands over my ears and paced my small trailer. What the heck what the heck what the heck? What was […]

I nodded and made all the right noises as Sid continued to sift through the pictures. Viv and Helena continued their negotiations for how the podcast would be handled. Then, mid-sentence, Helena turned to Sid and barked, “Did you take your medicine?” Sid blanched, then nodded. “Yes, yes, of course.” He frowned. Helena frowned back […]

I’ll admit, I did a half-hearted pursuit of The Lovely Joanna when I left Tony’s, but I’d been too distracted to see what kind of car she drove, other than it was large and black—and black SUVs and crossovers are thick on the ground in West Texas. Besides, it had been too long since she […]

The next afternoon I was finishing up my last dog of the day when my phone rang. It was Viv. “You know that real estate development guy? Turns out his mother lives over in the east wing. The old wing,” she clarified. Viv is very proud to be living in the newest and most expensive […]

Like most people in AA, I have a few different meetings that I attend on a regular basis, but only one meeting that I consider home. My friend and mentor Les told me I had to attend 90 meetings in my first 90 days of sobriety, so out of necessity I’d learned where all the […]

Chapter One New people who walk into Flo’s Bow Wow Barbers must wonder, for a second, which decade they’ve stepped into. There’s Flo, the owner, who still wears a beehive hairstyle.

"Realism meets intelligence, humor, and faith!"

All Salem Grimes expects as she walks into church is her regular Tuesday morning AA meeting. When she encounters a dead body instead, she does what any self-respecting clueless amateur would do -- she flaps around, shouting words good Christians aren't even supposed to know.

But when Salem learns that her ex-husban...

Another day, another dead body. It's all in a day of the life of Salem Grimes.

Salem Grimes figures even a God who works in mysterious ways wouldn’t resort to a dead body in a dumpster in answer to Salem’s prayers to help her stay on her diet – excuse me – Strat-EAT-Gic plan. But a dead body in a dumpster it is, and now Salem and Viv, her octogenarian partner-in-crime-solving, are on the case once again.

Salem finds the search for the killer a satisfactory distraction from...

Armed with Salem’s “Smart-Enuff” phone and Viv’s racing model Cadillac (with aggressive acceleration!), these two amateur super-sleuths set out to catch a gang of armed robbers terrorizing G-Ma’s neighborhood... if for no other reason than to stop G-Ma’s panic-stricken calls every time a car drives by.

The only problem: they have no leads, no clues, and they accidentally got arrested for “moral crimes.” Will these bandits...
