Caught Inside (18 page)

Metaphorically speaking,
we as women are our own worse critics. We need these
things,
so we can look
in the mirror to say, 'ah, my grass is looking pretty green'. If it
takes a box of hair color, a new outfit or to shed a few pounds to
make the grass seem green, then so be it. However, Maybelline
Briggs isn't looking for the Holy Grail of Eternal Youth, just a
way to get back on her feet through all the chaos.

Light hearty funny mystery with quirky
characters and laughable discretions. Chick Lit General Audience
meets Funny Mystery.

Sometimes luck gets turned around, so
what does a gal have to do in this town to get it back? Fired from
her secret government job seemed like the tip of the iceberg in her
streak of bad luck. However, that was nothing compared to the
business of leprechauns, frozen bank accounts, credit cards, and
having to drive an eighty's green Gremlin car around
town.

With the luck of the Irish on her
side, Katie McAllister, endures a calamity of eccentricity to get
her luck back while solving the mystery of the leprechaun. With the
help of old friends and new, and a very adorable white puppy, she
not only gets her luck back; she finds the man that almost got
away.

This quirky chick lit mystery will
have you smiling or shaking your head in disbelief at every
chapter. In the end, you'll be quoting the Irish.

Chick Lit. - Often in life, you are
given choices. One that is clear concise and common sense, the
other one, we'll just call him TROUBLE for short, otherwise known
as the hot untouchable guy. Sometimes, you are given these choices
to make your life easier or the happy caring gods are smiling down
on you thinking; you go girl, here you are, your two choices; we
know you'll make the right one. Then the blue-sky turns an ominous
steel grey full of thunderclouds and lightening begins to strike,
gale-force winds begin to blow as you make the wrong choice. It's
not like you saw all the warning signs. Blue sky to dark.
Lightning. Gail force winds. However, hey, if you always made the
right choices, life could be one very boring highway.

The
Author
: I write in my spare time, from my
desk in our living room, with my two faithful shelter dogs by my
feet. I live in Colorado where there are far more sunny days than
not, which can make writing time hard to find as I love the
outdoors. I am an independently published author that uses her
artistic freedom greatly. However, I am not backed with the type of
marketing and promotions, or editing, that a publishing house
provides. I like to spend my time writing and find that promoting
myself takes away from the thing I love to do - writing. There are
two things as a reader that you can do to help me. One is to rate
my book and write a smiling review and two, is tell your friends. I
like it when someone links to my website or smashwords author page
to share with others, be it Facebook or a tweet and I can now be
found on Pin Interest. It helps build my readership and allows me
the freedom to focus more on my writing. As a mother with two boys,
tween and teen, and a wife, my time is limited to how much I can
devote to my writing. I choose to devote more to writing than
promoting, and I truly appreciate any assistance in this that you
would like to help with. Thank-you. CJ Hawk. -
may the wings of freedom lift you higher
