Mystery Amateur Sleuth

For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She’s had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone’s toilet’s overflowed, but she’s never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are certain: There isn't enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect.

Rose realizes she’s wasted twenty-four years of living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. She’s well on her way with the help of her next door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose the rules of drinking, but won’t help with number fifteen-- do more with a man. Joe’s new to town, but it doesn’t take a vision for Rose to realize he’s got plenty secrets of his own.

Somebody thinks Rose has something they want and they’ll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isn’t her biggest worry after all.

Re: Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes

First off, let me start by saying how truly sorry I am for your loss. After having lost my own Father last year, along with my Mother a few years prior to that, I can share your feeling to a degree. The pain eases, but never entirely goes away. As for your book, I'm glad that you came here today to talk about it, because I was probably one of the only ones who was left in the dark about it!! lol Now that I'm aware of your book, I'll be able to put it on my TBR list, and be able to read it!! The story line sounds really good, and it will be one of those books that I need to "shake up" my reading, due to ruts I get myself stuck into. My genres are all over the map, as they say, but depending on my mood, I will tend to read the same subject like a broken record, and need a book like yours to break me out of the mold. Thank you for coming and filling us in on your career. Best of luck to you in the future!!

I understand your loss as I lost my husband in January and I
find it very hard. I tell myself to do something because he
would have wanted me to continue; I know your husband would
want to to continue your dream also. It sounds like Rose is
also on a journey.
