Lest I forget

First of all, the based book sale is going on still, and I’m in it with A Few Good Men.

Second, this is on the rolling sale, starting today:


Dipped, Stripped and Dead (Daring Finds Book 1)

DEAD MAN’S REFINISH

Some people find antiques. Dyce Dare finds trouble.

Ever tried fishing a Victorian sideboard out of a dumpster only to hook a dead body instead? Welcome to Dyce Dare’s life, where nothing goes according to plan—and never has.

At six, she wanted to be a ballerina (until gravity repeatedly suggested otherwise). At ten, she dreamed of lion taming (until Fluffy the cat staged a mutiny). Now at twenty-nine, she’s just trying to keep her furniture refinishing business afloat so she can upgrade her son’s diet from “pancakes” to “anything else, please.”

But when her latest dumpster dive yields a half-melted corpse instead of salvageable furniture, Dyce reluctantly adds “amateur detective” to her lengthy resume of career failures. Because nothing says “responsible single mom” like poking around a murder investigation, right?

Between dodging danger, dealing with her quirky neighbors, and trying not to embarrass herself in front of a certain handsome police officer, Dyce is about to discover that her talent for refinishing furniture might just extend to refinishing crime scenes.

Dipped Stripped And Dead – Sometimes the best way to clean up your life is to solve a murder.

(Warning: May contain splinters, sarcasm, and one very determined single mom who definitely didn’t plan on any of this.)

  1. I can just imagine Dyce Dare’s son, after being served pancakes yet again, saying “Please, Mother, may I have some gruel? In Oliver Twist, Oliver liked it so much that he asked for some more.”

  2. I like that story. It was whacky, and just plausible enough to keep me grinning (and occasionally chuckling) and flipping the screen until I finished. Worth the price of the beer as RAH would say.

  3. Off topic, but kind of on-topic for Based, Danielle Smith gave a speech today. Just thought y’all would want to know. She sounds like she gets her talking points at According to Hoyt and Small Dead Animals.
