A
Taste of Honey
Tada! Drum roll. Helium balloons floating
out of sight. Pigeons hitting the air. Well, maybe we can skip the pigeons.
They tend to dive bomb . . . . Anyway, the hoopla is to announce the release
today of Murder on Pea Pike, Book #1
in the Listed and Lethal Series. Tag line: What happens when a hot property
meets a cold corpse?
Yes, you’re right. This is a murder
mystery series. In it, real estate agent, Honey Ingersoll, is the amateur
sleuth whose Scots-Irish good looks and hard-scrabble upbringing aid and abet her
crime busting ability. At 25, she’s made some bad choices in men and life and
is now determined to revamp herself as the best Realtor Eureka Falls , Arkansas
In
all seriousness, before I started the Listed and Lethal Series, I knew I wanted
to create a character with a brand new voice. My first series, the
award-winning Murders by Design, is set in sun-drenched Naples , Florida
But a writer’s
biggest challenge is to remain fresh and vivid and entertaining. With that in mind, I felt the time had come to switch
the tongue-in-cheek mayhem to a new location, with a new protagonist, and a new
set of villains. And Murder on Pea Pike
is the happy result.
Hence the drum
roll, the balloons, the birds. So if you have a moment and would like to find
out more about Honey Ingersoll, do check her out at www.jeanharrington.com. She can also
be found at Amazon.com

Oooh, Honey sounds just the kind of sassy and courageous heroine I like ;). I like a strong, unique voice for the main protagonist in crime fiction - that's what will make me a fan of a series!
I love a series, too, Clare. They get to be like old friends. You know the hero/heroine and their quirks, strengths, weaknesses and that's comforting and familiar. The trick for the author is to know when to stop and begin a new series with fresh faces and voices. So I hope I've done that--in the nick of time!
It's hard to find new twists and locations that fit for a mystery. This one sounds like fun, Jean.
