Happy Birthday, Marge
Happy Birthday, Marge is a ghostly tale set in the world of Sinful.
It's Marge's birthday party, and Gertie wants to make it the best ever, especially since it's the first birthday since Marge's passing months ago.
What the Swamp Team Three doesn't know is that this party has a special guest, the spirit of Marge, who is trying to deliver a message to them: Someone at the party is going to try to kill Fortune. But, without the ability to communicate with them, what's a ghost to do?
Will Marge somehow get the message delivered? Or will Fortune join the club of the formerly living?
Happy Birthday, Marge is set after the events of Later Gator, book nine of Jana DeLeon's Miss Fortune series
A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR: Happy Birthday, Marge was not written by Jana DeLeon. Rather it is part of the Kindle Worlds program, wherein Jana DeLeon has allowed writers to create stories using the world of Sinful and the wacky characters it’s famous for. I wish to thank Jana DeLeon for graciously allowing other writers to explore their own writing in a most Sinful way.

Never has death been so funny!
The dearly departed birthday girl and other characters will have you laughing out loud, so read this outside the public library. The plot is extremely well written, and a perfect heartfelt bon voyage to Aunt Marge. Enjoy.

Marge comes back to save the day
Marge has passed away and Fortune has just come to Sinful posing as Sandy Sue Morrow. Ida Belle and Gertie want to have a birthday party for their departed friend and invite all of Marge's friends to Marge's house where Fortune is living. Marge has a premonition of Fortune being killed in her house and tries to warm them. A very well handled interlude with how Marge has to deal with being a ghost and how to successfully communicate with her friends. There is a murder and multiple robberies and Swamp Tram 3 plus 1 need to unravel the mystery. Very well written story.

Wonderful story!!
This story had all of the elements of Sinful covered. As the swamp team prepares to celebrate Marge's first birthday since she passed away, craziness and hilarity ensue! The author picked up on the humor of Idabelle, Gerty and Fortune and follows them into laugh out loud situations and also embroiled into the latest mystery. I highly recommend this book for any can of Jana DeLeon

Such a delightful read!
IMO, of the authors in the Miss Fortune World, Sheri Hearn is the author who writes closest to Jana DeLeon's style. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I've read her books about Swamp Team 3 leaving for and returning from Vietnam and they were just as true to the characters. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books!

Good read
This was a little different and it started out a little slow. However it made up for it in the middle I just wished I was given a picture of what Marge looked like. I could not get a sense of Marge in conjunction with the others
