About this ebook

Alexis Jordan is having a bad day. Her husband left her for the pool boy. She’s living in the hick town she thought she’d left behind forever over a decade ago. The rumor-mill is working overtime, and the entire town thinks she’s terminally ill, criminally insane and romantically involved with the contractor working on the fixer-upper she purchased in a swell neighborhood - two doors down from the meth lab.
Oh, and her mother expects her for a family barbecue.

When a local body shop goes up in flames and a corpse is found in the charred rubble, the prime suspects are Kevin, Alex’s brother, and Danny Salazar, the love of her life and the one who got away. A graphic designer by training and busybody by nature, Alex jumps in to “help” the police solve the mystery. With the aid of a felonious stranger who just might have his own motive for murder, a smart-aleck teenager and a tireless sense of humor, she races towards a discovery that is uglier than she imagined - one that causes her to rethink her beliefs about family, loyalty...even cats.

Struggling against the wicked summer heat, unreasonable design requirements, a house that’s falling apart and guests who just won’t leave, Alex begins to wonder if she’ll ever be Home Free.

I grew up thinking I'd be a writer someday. I spent a lot of time not being a writer while I waited for someday to arrive. Finally, on the plane ride home from New York after my sister’s wedding, I decided it was time to start writing. I waited till we landed, then went to work as a “real” writer.Turns out, being a real writer comes with petty annoyances like real writer’s block and a perpetual lack of real financial security. So I started writing web content to deal with the financial security issue. And I discovered improv comedy as a means of alleviating the writer’s block.Luckily, I live in southern California, where everybody and their grandma wants to be an actor, so improv classes are easy to come by. I studied with Held2gether, Groundlings, Upright Citizens Brigade and The Second City. Pretty soon I was performing, and then I started teaching improv to anyone who would sit still long enough to let me. I’ve also written for, performed with and directed the sketch comedy troupes 3 Square: the series and Held2gether - the Series.Now it’s hard to say which is more important to me, writing or improv, but it doesn’t matter anymore because in my world one can’t exist without the other. My world is pretty awesome.
