Diverted: A Jayden Morrow Mystery

Jayden Morrow Mysteries #2

by C.J. Graves

Part Kinsey Millhone, part Stephanie Plum—Jayden Morrow is back dodging bullets and boyfriends in the latest installment of this fast-paced mystery series! She may be a hundred twenty pounds of pure attitude, but when P.I. Jayden Morrow does a swan dive off the roof of her Cape Cod home, she still gets a concussion—and a whole lot more. Her nosy neighbor, Miss Mildred, insists she hire Billy Bob, a small-time contractor with big-time connections. Soon after, she receives threatening phone calls, her house is trashed, and Billy Bob disappears. With dark clouds moving in, Jayden races to locate her AWOL roofer and keep ahead of the rain. Instead, she finds herself pushed into a perfect storm of mistaken identity, the mob, and murder. (Read the book that started it A Jayden Morrow Mystery. Available on Amazon now!)

About the author

Ah, the dreaded profile--right up there with root canals and query letters. Let’s see…

I grew up poor, chubby, and fatherless in a small Pennsylvania town. (Ouch.) But none of this has stopped me from becoming super-wealthy, movie star-svelte, and happily married, living in a fabulous area of North Carolina. (Okay, some of this may be exaggerated.)

So what is the truth? What IS truth, for that matter? And how much does it matter for a fiction writer? Despite the deliciousness of these questions, they will have to be answered by greater minds than that of C.J. Graves. But here are a few bits of information that are mostly true:

-I have a B.A. in Interior Architecture and Design from the University of North Carolina.
-I lived in Japan for a couple years. Konnichiwa!
-I started out writing nonfiction, then screenplays, then novels--three different genres. (I may have writing ADD. Is there a Goodreads support group for that?)
-I like rolling on the floor with sweaty guys and hitting people. (I know what you’re thinking, but before you get all excited, I’m talking about mixed martial arts not BDSM!)
-In my previous life, I was a harried mother of twelve, living during the Victorian era. (I don’t know if this is true, but it seems a reasonable excuse of why I don’t have children and enjoy period movies.)

So this is me--kind of. How about you? If you like mysteries, dark romances, and/or paranormal YA, please try my books--Crossed, Belted, and Antichrist 16. Happy reading!
