The Wedding Wager (McMaster the Disaster) (21 page)

But perhaps the most surprising thing in the history of my existence is what happened after the wedding dust had settled. I received email after email, phone call after phone call about the wedding. How had I pulled it off? What made me think to do two weddings in one?

I told them all I’d just wanted the best of both worlds.

And that’s what Mom and Mattie ended up calling their new wedding planning business.

Goodness knows they still never see eye to eye, but they’re both savvy enough to recognize a good idea when it accidentally sneaks up behind them and bites them in the butt. And that’s when The Best of Both Worlds Event Designs was born; each planning half of their client’s weddings, all balled up into spectacular super-events, quirky modern and formal tradition combined. They’ve become a hit for upscale clientele across the country, especially since their book came out.

So what does the future hold?

Who knows.

And that’s just the way I like it.

THE END

McMaster the Disaster
:

Bridesmaid Lotto
(a
McMaster the Disaster
novel)

Josephine McMaster is pretty and smart, but very much a klutzy mess. Finally, at 26, she may have actually lost the dreaded ‘McMaster the Disaster’ nickname that has followed her around her whole life.
Josie’s quite content to be single, much to her mother’s disappointment. So when a bizarre contest is announced where a socialite is holding a lottery to pick her bridesmaids (and rake in a little extra cash), she can’t roll her eyes fast enough, even if it does mean meeting Jake Hall, her one and only movie star crush. Obviously, Josie doesn’t enter the bridesmaid lottery, so you can imagine her surprise when her picture pops up among the winners, thanks to Mom. With a little prodding—okay bribing—Josie agrees to participate.
The wedding turns into the event of the year, and Josie finds herself in the middle of a paparazzi feeding frenzy, which gets even crazier after Jake Hall takes a special interest in her.
Can Josie handle the pressure in the spotlight? Is it possible she might really have a chance with Jake Hall? And if she’s busy worrying about all that, how in the heck is she going to keep ‘McMaster the Disaster’ from showing up in front of the entire world?

Book 2 in the
McMaster the Disaster
series, complete with all new Disaster Diary entries.
Josie McMaster is on the move to London for a top-secret stint as a ghost-biographer for a high profile celebrity. It’s her dream job; she’s got a beautiful place to stay in the English countryside, full access to the celebrity, and three months to complete the best ghostwritten autobiography anyone has ever seen.
In true McMaster the Disaster fashion, Josie tumbles headfirst into scandal, apparently thought of as more than just an average ghostwriter in the eyes of this new celebrity. Not to mention she has never written a biography, but… how hard could it really be?
Of course, the paparazzi is not helping matters, constantly publicizing the ‘when will Jake Hall pop the question’ betting pool, which is completely ridiculous considering she and Jake have only been dating a short while…
… or is it?

Haunt
(a
Sisterhood of Murder
novel)

Three strangers end up at the same place at the same time. So what’s the problem? Well, the corpse for one.
Years of unexplained blackouts have made Sophie tough, at least as far as anyone knows. She’s tried to stop her ritual cutting after the blackouts, but with the pain comes too much control and clarity.
Ashlyn’s years of avoiding society have made her timid, afraid to let anyone in. For as long as she can remember, her dreams reenact the lives of each person who comes in physical contact with her. Not the best situation for making friends. Her only release is purging her pain into her artwork.
Libi’s only concern is her social status… until now. She always thought the stories about her old Granny Matilda who claimed to see ghosts were completely insane, or at least Granny must have been. Guess the joke’s on Libi now that she’s turned sixteen.
The trio has little in common, except one thing. Each girl knows what it’s like to live with secrets. Will they be able to get it together and figure out what drew them to the abandoned warehouse, not to mention solve the little problem of the body they’ve found? Or perhaps even more important, will finding each other finally make them feel like they have a place to belong?
