About the author
Colleen Mooney
18 books147 followersI was born, raised, and still live in New Orleans. I started going to parades and watched them from sitting on my Dad's shoulders before I could walk. I've been in Girl Scout parades, high school parades, St. Patrick's parades, Mardi Gras parades, on dance teams in parades and just about any loosely organized group who deemed it necessary to parade. I just can't help myself. I love parades.
I attended Loyola of the South here in New Orleans so I wouldn't be far from a parade.
I spent 20+ years working for and retired from AT&T. I have worked and lived in New York City, Madison, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama returning home for the big parade every year--Mardi Gras.
Before Katrina, I moved away and back three times, four if you count rebuilding the same house at the same address after Katrina flooded my home. I did miss a couple of parades that year.
I'm an avid sailor and Scuba diver for many years, and made lasting friendships from sailing and dive trips. I love travel and if the opportunity presents itself, I'm there. Except for a brief stint where I had to own and learn how to ride a motorcycle, I've been a water baby. When I am not enjoying fun with friends in all New Orleans has to offer- sailing and racing with friends on Lake Pontchartrain, Mardi Gras, parties and festivals- I head to Florida.
I am an ardent animal lover and direct an all volunteer rescue group, Schnauzer Rescue of Louisiana. I love to write and I write about what I know and love! You can take the girl out of New Orleans, but it won’t be for long!
Dead & Breakfast, the second book in my series THE NEW ORLEANS GO CUP CHRONICLES placed in two categories in the 2014 SOLA Chapter of RWA's Dixie Kane contest for Short/Long Series for Contemporary fiction and for Single Title Contemporary fiction. My first book is RESCUED BY A KISS.
The third book in the series, Drive-Thru Murder is scheduled to be released in the fall 2016.

Brandy and Jiff to Go
Colleen Mooney had this first five book starter deal as a free giveaway and I could seldom pass up a copy mystery deal such as that and am I glad I didn't with this series. What a marvelous aray of caracters surrounding Brandy and Jiff , a dynamic couple that seems to be in the thick of things on a regular schedule. Orleans is the perfect backdrop for murder, mistjuf and the mayhem the two find themselves in. Colleen Mooney is truly a fabulous cozey mystery writer. 🙄 Kat

Enjoyable series!
Brandy Alexander gets involved in solving mysteries in this series of books set in New Orleans. She is also in somewhat of a relationship with her childhood friend but does not see it going forward when she meets a mistreatment during the Marcus Gras parade. Full of intrigue with a dash of romance thrown in, these books are very enjoyable!

Fun and Quirky Series.
Brandy Alexander is not an exotic dancer. Her father came up with the name waiting in a bar for her to be born. She rescues Schnauzers and investigates complicated fraud schemes. Meeting a mesmerising man during Mardi Gras is the start of a wonderful adventure and romance. Recommend.

Collection of fun mysteries
I enjoyed this collection of mysteries featuring Brandy Alexander in New Orleans. Yes, her name is same as the drink, but that is not her fault. New Orleans makes a great background for these mysteries lending them a unique southern flavor. The mysteries are good, the characters fun.

Brandy solves murder
These are the stories about Brandy and Jiff how they met and the crimes they solve. Brandy can see connections other people don't to help cops solve murders. Her neighbor Dante have known each other since she was born. They've dated but never finished a date, Dante always gets pulled away for a current crime. Wonderful stories hard to put down.

Good Series
Brandt Alexander seems to attract problems and dead bodies. Her love triangle keeps the stories interesting and keeps you guessing. I enjoyed reading this series and trying to figure what would happen next.

Great book combing crime solving and mystery
This was a fun series with interesting characters. The author brought them to life with her details about their backgrounds . If you enjoy a good mystery with laughs this is a perfect series for you.

Binge this box set
Just finished and very glad the sixth book is out. A clever romantic thread weaves through this collection. Interesting mysteries that are solvable from the book, nicely wrapped up. A very good read.

November 29, 2019Great stories, fun reading
This is a funny and suspenseful series, with clever characters and a few running subplots. Very enjoyable, mostly clean and not too violent. Appropriate for just about anyone who likes a good cozy mystery.

It's not who you think it is!
This book is very interesting with lots of wish that I did not see coming. The story and the people are woven together in a wonderful Tale. This is a book that I would recommend to everyone who loves mystery.

great stories
Fantastic stories with interesting characters and plots. Brandy and Jiff make a good pair of amateur detectives. I like that the author doesn’t feel it necessary to use explicit sex or foul language in the stories.

"Hours of harmless fun"
If you like murder mysteries that aren't dark and chilling, but sit more on the cozy and cute side, then you could do far worse than have a taste of these offerings.

Life
Funny, frustrating, fast read. Loved the relatable characters. Well familiar with guys that "love you", but won't say anything or want a commitment from their side.

Lots of FUN and giggles
I enjoyed the distraction from life's struggles while reading these. I appreciate that there wasn't a lot of swearing and icky stuff.
