Charley Davidson—grim reaper extraordinaire, private investigator . . . meh—is practicing her profession under the influence, caffeine and copious amounts of it, due to an extreme desire to induce insomnia. Every time she closes her eyes, Reyes Farrow, the part-human, part-supermodel son of Satan, is there. Only thing is, he's a tad peeved. She did bind for all eternity, so it's hard blame him. But 13 days without a wink is bound to bring out the crazy in a girl. So when she accepts a missing persons case, she discovers that her focus is sketchy at best. But a woman's life hangs in the balance, and Charley fights her ADD tendencies to find her.Together with the help of her fashion-impaired receptionist, Charley sets out to bring the bad guys to justice and to single-handedly make bloodshot, sleep deprived eyes the newest fashion trend.

SNEAK PEEK!

Jan 8 2012, 5:35 pm

Here is a still from the new book and music video featuring an original song by my DH and his music and production partners, the Rotten Apple Project. They have put in hundreds of hours readying for the upcoming release of THIRD GRAVE DEAD AHEAD. Let me just say, this thing is smoking’! I am thrilled to have been a part of the film crew for the Charley and Reyes segments. 

Finding my Charley was a breeze. I worked with her when I was interpreting and I knew the moment I saw her she’d make a fantastic Charley. Those eyes are to die for. But finding a Reyes? Oyeee! I cannot tell you how long it took me to find one and how many candidates I went through. Well, I could, but I won’t bore you with the details. Let me just say, finding what I considered an exceptional Reyes was NOT an easy task. Honestly, the search could be made into a made-for-TV movie. *snerk* But what I found? Well, here’s a sneak peek to judge for yourself. :)  

I did good, yes?
