Tonight is a very special night. One of my Christmas gifts from hubby this year was tickets to see Kris Kristofferson in concert. OH THE JOY!!! How fitting to that I woke up this Sunday morning with no way to hold my head up that didn’t hurt. I did not however have a beer or two for breakfast because..well… ew. I did however have a piece of bread, two aspirin, and a cup of coffee. I am still fighting the effects of the flu I had and I really need to get myself together for tonight. Kris Kristofferson is an amazing singer and story teller and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday evening.
The Red Hot Empress (The Annie Szabo Mystery Series)
by Meredith Blevins
Genre: Women’s Fiction | Literature & Fiction | Contemporary Fiction
FREE for a limited time
“Blevins succeeds in weaving humor, zany characters, and the occult into an entertaining mystery with serious undertones.” — Publisher’s Weekly “Great plot and insight into Gypsy culture!” ~ Library Journal, starred review. The spicy Szabo women would like to kick back with a lover, a good movie, and a few laughs, but life has something else in mind. One meeting with an extraordinary boy leads them headlong into another wild, and hair-raising, adventure.
Annie Szabo has discovered a miracle — Jimmy Qi, a kid from Chinatown with the power to heal using music. He’s dazzling, he’s a scoundrel, he is sensitive, and he makes a great newspaper article. But now? Everyone wants Jimmy.
Feeling responsible for creating San Francisco’s latest hot commodity, Annie enlists her mother-in-law, the audacious fortune-teller Madame Mina, to help keep Jimmy safe from his avid pursuers: an evangelist; an ex-hero with a troubled past; the tongs; a CDC doctor; a dolphin fanatic; and an FBI agent who seems too good to be true.
A set of aging twins with a vivid past and a dubious future offer Annie protection. The women have powerful alliances, and they like Annie’s style. She has reservations, but after an afternoon spent slamming back Bombay Gin with the ladies, Annie accepts their help.
And then the bodies start turning up. Annie grabs Jimmy and runs, luring the killer through a tangle of Chinese New Year celebrations and north, up the deserted California coast, where she and Madame Mina force the killer to face justice.
