    About this series

    Mace Of Spades - In the second installment of the Grandfather Mummy Series, Jo and Ava Skinner are now the owners of a Bed and Breakfast Inn, established in Jo's Grandmother's homestead. Things are running smoothly until a Consortium Man comes to town wanting to buy the Inn for a new health spa ranch. They hope to exploit the fact that Jo's granddad, Hank, was mummified and lives to tell about. With the notion that the arid climate helps life's longevity they hope to make a killing. Unfortunately for the consortium, Jo's not selling.

    The Consortium Man then targets Jo's superstitious and cantankerous neighbor, Edna Clankerton's, land. Which suits Jo just fine. It may stop Edna from her bi-weekly tirades about the Inn's guest's invading her territory and opening up her borders to demons and hell hounds. When Edna is found dead, killed by an antique medieval mace, Jo is the first and apparently the only suspect, due to a rather loud and well witnessed argument with the victim that very day. It's up to Jo, Hank, and Ava to find the true culprit. But that's a lot easier said then done. Most particularly since Edna was not well liked in town. There may be too many possible murderers. This leads the three sleuths in a character filled humorous chase to catch the real killer and clear Jo's name.

      Jo, Ava, and Hank Skinner don't take too kindly to someone murdering a popular television reality star and dumping the body into the moat of the Clankerton Medieval Museum. To top things off, because of the murder, the town mayor shuts down Hank's money making endeavor. This simply won't do. The sooner they find the murderer the sooner Hank can get back to hauling in the dough.

      It isn’t easy being a murder victim. Most particularly if the murder part didn’t take. Then to add insult to injury, you end up being stuffed into a trunk for some seventy odd years in an extremely arid climate which causes your body to mummify. But this is exactly what happened to Hank Skinner. Now a shriveled shadow of his former manly self, but much to his relief, still very much a man, Hank is discovered in the attic of his wife’s house by his granddaughter, Jo. As it turns out, his wife, May, had tried to kill him when she caught him in bed with another woman. She did however succeed in killing his well endowed bank robbing mistress, Clash, and stuffing her remains in another trunk in the attic. The discovery of her granddad’s mummified - yet living - remains doesn’t help Jo’s mental state too terribly much. She’s already dealing with turning forty, she doesn’t need her long- thought- fugitive grandfather to suddenly reappear, most particularly in a mummified state. It also doesn’t help that he keeps hitting on her - not really believing she‘s his granddaughter. The one good thing that does come from her discovery is that it proves her granddad didn’t help Clash rob the bank. But if Clash was killed right after robbing the bank then just where is the money? It’s not in the attic, so where could Clash have hidden it? It’s this very search that leads Jo, Hank, Ava (Jo's Mother) and her sister Faye, on a rather humorous and mind-boggling adventure.

    Author

    J.A. Sprouls

    J.A. Sprouls lives in the beautiful and rather flat Plains of West Texas. As a former antique dealer whose business tanked along with the rest of the country's economy, she had to go out and get a real job. Writing, for her, has become a way to wind down after a long day and escape reality for just a short while. 'My Grandfather Is One Heck Of A Mummy' is the first in what will hopefully be a successful cozy mystery series. The second novel in the series, 'Mace Of Spades,' with 'Cowabunga Dead' as the third in the series. Another series that she has written is the Cryptozoology Series with two current books: 'Kamikaze Pigs' and 'Don Coyote.' She has even tried writing a youth novel series titled: 'Abigail Dumpling Adventures.' She has also written two non-series books: 'A Vision Touch' and 'Death Drives a Chevy.' She is currently working on her next novel and should soon be finished. She enjoys writing cozy mysteries with a humorous touch and hopes her readers enjoy reading them as much as she has enjoyed writing them.
