Fool Moon

Freaky Florida Mystery Adventures

by Margaret Lashley

"A fast, fun read. If you haven't already read the series, do it. You won't regret it!!" Amazon Reader Review

What's a Party without the Mixed Nuts?When cryptid chasers Bobbie and Grayson head to a friend's prepper compound for a Halloween party, all bets are off about who the real freak is -- even when the masks come off.

Grayson is acting strangely out of character. Bobbie's on the hunt for family jewels. Garth and his friends put the Trailer Park Boys to shame. And Earl? He's just being Earl. And quite frankly, that's enough.

Full moons. Lord Baldemort. Deadly legume gas.

On Halloween, nothing is as it seems. And before the night is through, somebody will have to battle The Great Bumpkin. I mean, what else would you expect? This is Florida, after all.

About the author

Why do I love underdogs? Well, it takes one to know one.

Like the main characters in my novels, I haven’t lead a life of wealth or luxury. In fact, as it stands now, I’m set to inherit a half-eaten jar of Cheez Whiz…if my siblings don’t beat me to it.

During my illustrious career, I’ve been a roller-skating waitress, an actuarial assistant, an advertising copywriter, a real estate agent, a house flipper, an organic farmer, and a traveling vagabond/truth seeker. But no matter where I’ve gone or what I’ve done, I’ve always felt like a weirdo.

I’ve learned a heck of a lot in my life. But getting to know myself has been my greatest journey. Today, I know I’m smart. I’m direct. I’m jaded. I’m hopeful. I’m funny. I’m fierce. I’m a pushover. And I have a laugh that lures strangers over, wanting to join in the fun.

In other words, I’m a jumble of opposing talents and flaws and emotions. And it’s all good.

I enjoy underdogs because we’ve got spunk. And hope. And secrets that drive us to be different from the rest.

So dare to be different. It's the only way to be!
Happy reading!

always a fun ride

Having read all eight books this is just an additional little bit of fun. Quite frankly, I miss both Bobbi and Grayson and some of their antics. I'm sure that Miss Lashley has many more tales to tell whether it's here or within any of our other series. All of them are highly recommend recommended

This is a short story addition to the Freaky Florida series. Bobbi Drex and her mentor, Grayson are going to a Halloween party at a prepper compound where Bobbi is the only female. There are ghosts, zombies, and werewolves, but not all of them are people in costumes.

Terrific

I missed Drex, Grayson, & Earl. This short story was great and I truly hope to read about these characters again. My favorite series by Ms Lashley.

My first book by this author and it was a fun, quick read and I love the characters Bonnie, Grayson, and all the others they spend time with at Halloween. Can't wait to see what they get into next.

Another enjoyable, delightfully amusing episode in the annals of Roberta Drex.

A short story

Bobbie, Earl, and Grayson attend a Halloween costume party at Garth’s Florida compound where strange things always happen. This time is no different. A great story.
