Aggie Sloan Wilcox likes to practice what her minister
husband preaches—to a point. But babysitting a narcissistic
"star" demands the patience of a saint, and Aggie isn't
bucking for a halo.
Actor and singer Grady Barber has returned to his hometown
to judge the Emerald Springs Idyll, a talent show to help
raise funds for the local hospital. As the newest volunteer
on the fund-raising committee, Aggie is assigned the
unenviable task of ensuring that Grady's needs are met.
Unfortunately, Grady's needs are legion, as are the enemies
he makes.
When Aggie stumbles upon his dead body, she isn't terribly
surprised. But when "Sister" Nora, of a controversial circus
that preaches the dangers of global warming, turns out to be
Grady's ex-wife, she is surprised. And when Nora is arrested
for his murder, more than Aggie's patience is tried. She
must use every skill to clear the name of the unlikely
prophet, before Nora spends her final days preaching on
death row.

I can see why you like to return to "your town and characters". You spend a lot of time and effort to create them. Who would want to leave them after just one story. As a reader,it is enjoyable to revisit your characters. We hate to leave them after one story and thank you for keeping them around. (Patricia Barraclough 8:53pm February 6, 2009)
