You can't fix stupid with duct tape. But you can muffle the sound.

When Val tries to revive her old writing career, story ideas prove as elusive as a moment alone without her boyfriend Tom breathing down her neck.

Tom's moved in, and Val's itching to move out - at least temporarily.

A last-minute getaway to the country seems like the perfect solution for dissolving her writer's block. But a fateful fish fry ends up inspiring a whole different kind of dead end.

With an angry horde of RVers pointing the finger at Val, she's got to out-smart Bigfoot, out-do a seedy crafter, out-wit a psycho killer, and just plain "out" whoever in blue blazes keeps scaring the daylights out of her with those hideous shrunken heads!

Whether Val gets out of this alive or not, one thing's for sure -- she'll never trust the internet again....

Love your mysteries with a side of snide? The Val Fremden Midlife Mystery series is for you! Get set for a wickedly witty slide down the social ladder with a surprising cast of unexpected misfits!

If you enjoy Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum or Jana Deleon's Fortune Redding, you'll probably find yourself resonating with Val Fremden, too. She's a lovable, bungling mess who's a bit older, a tad more jaded, and a ton more experienced in big-time failure. Life's been tough for Val. Still, she always manages to find her way with sardonic humor and an intrepid spirit. A gin and tonic now and then helps, too.

Life's a beach and then you die. If you're ready for a good laugh and a great mystery, check out Seven Daze. Funny Florida-based mysteries don't get any wackier-or truly heartfelt.

P.S. If you love humorous, page-turning mysteries like those by Deborah Brown, Julie Mulhern, Lucy Quinn, Tricia O'Malley, Gemma Halliday, Karen Cantwell, Tara Sivec, Liliana Hart, Libby Howard, Chelsea Field, Jana Deleon, Gina LaManna, Janet Evanovich, Denise Grover Swank, Amy Vansant, and Stephanie Bond, you just might love Glad One, too!
