Totally Buzzed (A Miller Sisters Mystery) (37 page)

The crowd gathered around as Mom cheerfully opened the box. Jan and Jane helped her with the lid. My dad moved in so he could see better and froze. The women
oooed
and
ahhhed
over the gift, and when the lid fell back, I about fainted.

There, staring my dad in the eye was a goddamn cowboy lamp with a rattle snake crawling up the pole. My mom clapped, Dad stood there stunned, and Alejandro grinned from ear to ear. I put my arm around Mag and Fred and said, "Here we go again, girls."

Gale Borger
has been involved in law enforcement for over 20 years. This gives Gale an endless source of background material for her books. Growing up in a screwball household also gives her a sense for the zany and the bizarre. Gale writes what she knows, and she knows bad guys and funny stuff—but not necessarily in that order!

Gale lives in Southeastern Wisconsin with her husband and daughter, a Dogue de Bordeaux, two cats, about 1500 tropical fish, an African Horned Toad, a side-neck turtle, two dwarf hamsters, and a leopard gecko.

When Gale is not writing, she and her husband breed and swap tropical fish. Gale is also a Master Gardener and after work can usually be found in a flower bed up to her ears in weeds, or volunteering at a local gardening event.

Totally Buzzed
is the first book in the Miller Sisters Mysteries.
