Mystery Woman Sleuth | Mystery Amateur Sleuth
Antique picker Jane Wheel has always loved old stuff, from
vintage salt and pepper shakers to other families’ old
photos and orphaned Bakelite buttons, and she can’t really
explain why. But she makes a living out of it, searching
high and low at estate sales and antique shops and
reselling her finds to other collectors. At least, it’s
half a living---she makes the other half as an associate
to a private detective, because she’s just as talented at
digging up secrets as antiques.While visiting her brother
for the first time in years, Jane’s fascinated by a story
of mistaken identity: On three occasions, someone has
accused him of swindling them on eBay, only to realize
he’s not the right guy. Even though he doesn’t see the
point, she wants to look into it. Then back at home one of
her parents’ friends is attacked, leading Jane to vow to
get to the bottom of things.Out of nowhere, Jane suddenly
has two cases, both edging a little too close to her loved
ones for comfort, because one thing’s for sure---whenever
family gets wrapped up in your personal business, it’s
bound to be some scary stuff.

Re: Scary Stuff
I think putting yourself out there is a good thing. Meeting and greeting is what fans like and I'm sure it helps authors to learn a little more about their fan base. I'm looking forward to reading your latest novel, "Scary Stuff"

"Scary Stuff" sounds like a book I'd like to read since I can relate to the "antique picker"...I tend to be the same way...besides, I like the book cover...:> As far as your article on the recent Writing Conference you attended, I think it's great you have an author (M. Connelly) that you look up to...same as us readers! I agree with Theresa B's comment...."meeting & greeting is what fans like" and I'm always impressed how giving most writers are with their fans. Keep up the good work!

If writers are shy so are many of their readers. I think that it would be very satisfying for both for them to meet. As a reader I have many questions (probably too many) that I would love to ask. "Scary Stuff" sounds like a perfect Halloween read.

3. Introduce yourself to readers. (Readers want to meet writers--and although writers are often shy creatures, they will find it gratifying to talk to someone who knows and loves one of their fictional characters)
Thank you for adding this. I went to RWA's reader night and was totally overwhelmed. I'm not a fanboy and I was a feeling a bit awkward about going up to the authors I had read. The weird part was that they thanked *me* for being a reader.
The cover of your book is adorable!
