About this ebook
You’re running for your life in the woods, being chased by a crazed Russian mobster with an uzi. FBI agents are threatening to cut off Mr. Robinson’s fingers, coonhounds want your bacon, and an opossum stares you down. Terror awakes you to a cold sweat. The screams were yours, but the horror was a nightmare. For Jackie McGrath, the secretary for the First United Methodist Church of Deweyville, these scenarios aren’t bad dreams.
If Jackie had time to worry, she would have reason. A wedding video of the bride’s water breaking, the arrest of Gospel Bob of Religion Within Reach for illegal trafficking, and the arrival of the preacher’s slutty wife are just the warm up acts. There’s a shoot-out at the funeral home where Jackie works part-time as a sitter, and a ride-along with the chief of police to a disturbance of the peace at a Boudoir Blast party. The fun isn’t over: Jackie’s prissy, rich sister from New York inserts herself into church business; the weird characters at her church are off their meds; and a curvaceous stranger named Zoya shows up looking for her missing stuffed cupcake. The cupcake turns out to be Rusty Jackson, Jackie’s Boilerman boyfriend, an HVAC professional and retired Navy SEAL who occasionally goes undercover—it’s the under the covers notion that vexes Jackie.
When Rusty is called upon to end a drug cartel’s hostage situation off the coast of Malibu, he leaves Jackie to deal with the new preacher, the beguiling and possibly shady Rev. Jake Brannigan. Brannigan has established a new age agenda, shaking things up with the staid parishioners and creating groupies of the female demographic. Meanwhile, Zoya’s mobster brother blows up Jackie’s house, and Jackie is forced to take her teenage son to Rusty’s cabin in the woods. Bullwinkle, Boris, and Igor follow. Keeping her family from getting caught in crossfire requires a lot of moxie, but Jackie proves she is a woman to be reckoned with.
Although Jackie is fully capable of commandeering an army truck and maneuvering her PT Cruiser, she occasionally takes shot-gun in Rusty’s Dodge Ram truck. And when the time is right, the Boilerman eases Jackie’s tension with a tune-up. His tools include a caftan and a Zil—you’ll have to read the third book in the Deweyville Church Secretary series to find out what a Zil is.
Frankie and Johnnie warn you: Jackie McGrath and her friends will keep you entertained and guessing what can possibly happen next in this zany, naughty, and slightly irreverent romp. If your sides don’t hitch with laughter, there’s something seriously wrong with you.
Johnnie McDonald
"The first child will be called John and the second one will be named Frank." Mr. Carroll was true to his words, even though two daughters were the outcome. Mrs. Carroll added some ie's to the names and tacked on ugly middle names (which they will not divulge) and the Carroll sisters proceeded to grow up hearing the old song: "Frankie and Johnny" sung everywhere they went in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In the beginning, Frankie and Johnnie were embarrassed by their boy names, but when teenage years rolled around, their monikers gained them a lot of attention. Frankie hopped into Johnnie's Studebaker and they cruised Boot's Drive-in, where the sister team attracted boys with their bell-bottoms, wit and names. Frankie Carroll and Johnnie Carroll McDonald have teamed up again to write a series of hen lit novels. And what qualifies them to be authors? Johnnie, somewhat buttoned up and motivated, heeded their mother's advice to be all that she could be, earned an MBA and honed a successful career as a human resources administrator. Frankie, emulating their gregarious father, took a different path. While also establishing a career, she acted in and directed little theater, and played a little poker on the side. Extensive life drama, travel, and motherhood were thrown in the mix to enrich their creative imaginations. Frankie resides in Tulsa where she works in the health career industry. Johnnie sits lonely at the computer in the foreign land of New Jersey, where she puts on the paper the crazy plots she and her sister cook up.
