Calamity Jayne

Free - 596 pages


Book one in the Calamity Jayne mystery series finds Tressa Jayne Turner up-to-here with the never-ending string of dumb-blonde jokes and a lifetime nickname that's harder to get rid of than lint from a belly button. Crowned "Calamity Jayne" Tressa's out to gain a little hometown respect--or die trying. Unfortunately for Tressa, that just may be the case. When Tressa breaks down on a dark, deserted road, and discovers a body in the trunk instead of a spare tire, she returns to find the stiff gone and she's driven off in the wrong car. Determined to prove there's more to this cockeyed cowgirl than meets the eye, Tressa thinks she’s just been handed the perfect opportunity to get "Ranger Rick", the doubting Don Juan of the DNR, and a skeptical citizenry to finally take her seriously. How? By solving a murder no one else believes happened...No one, that is, except the killer.

When Tressa teams up with Ranger Rick’s granddad, a wannabe crime solver, and the body count begins to rise, it’s heartburn in the Heartland time. Tressa Jayne would tell you her momma didn't raise no dummies, but the jury's still out on that.

Yup. No doubt about it. Calamity Jayne is in it up to her hot pink, snakeskin cowgirl boots and matching rhinestone belt--and it's a matter of life and death, respect and reputation, love, happiness and the whole shebang in this cowgirl’s quest for a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
