One o’clock and all’s . . . well, not so well, but what’s new in the world of Allie Lindell?
Almost a year to the day, Mickey Callahan’s business partner was found dead from a single gunshot wound to the head and nothing but questions surrounding his murder. Now, Mickey is convinced that the same people are out to get him. After a sloppy kidnapping attempt, no one takes him seriously until the body count starts to grow.
While the part-time sleuth and full-time mother of two had promised to stay away from murder and mayhem for a while, Allie can’t resist the mystery that practically ignites in her own backyard.
The Allie Lindell saga returns with the third book in the series and more drama than ever as Allie continues to struggle to remember the love of her life and partner while trying to keep her head above water as she wades through the underworld of gambling, race horses, and murder.
About the Author:
Alexandra Allred is a former national and professional athlete turned adventure writer turned humorist and novelist. She’s often been called the next Erma Bombeck with a grudge. Her annual Christmas letters, which have frequently made the news, could make the Grinch weep with joy. For a taste of holiday glee, see http://www.allredgreetings.blogspot.com
Allred is a writer of fiction and nonfiction alike, but is most proud of the Allie Lindell series. Several close friends from her sports background and personal life have been the source of inspiration for the books. And just like Allie Lindell, Allred grew up with a father who taught her the love of reading a good obituary column.
Allred writes for Waxahachie Daily Light newspaper, continues to testify in Washington D.C. on behalf of children with asthma and our need for clean air, and she’s never too far from her gym in Midlothian, Texas. You can always drop her a note at www.alexandratheauthor.com.
Alexandra Allred Guest post
When Roadkill (book #1 in the Allie Lindell series) was released, one of the very first questions I was asked was, “How did you write about a gay relationship? Wasn’t that weird?” My first thought was, ‘no, why would that be weird?’
I did initially worry that some gay readers would be offended that a straight woman took on this role but my readers who were both gay and straight quickly quashed that.
For me, the lives of Allie and Rae Ann are no different than any other couple I have written about. They laugh, they tease, they hug, they fight, and they get on each other’s nerves just like any other couple – gay or straight.
In my own life, my husband can be the biggest JACKASS in the whole world (yeah, that’s right, Robb… I went there. When you write your own book and get to be a guest on an awesome blog then you can call me names but until then…) and so, too, is the character of Rae Ann in the series.
By book #3, Anniversary Killer, readers get to see Rae Ann try harder in the relationship to make things work. This is real life. These are real issues in every relationship. One of the best reviews I received on the book stated; “the author captured the authenticity of a real gay couple.” Brilliant! The true story behind that authenticity is … when I first wrote the series, Allie was married to a man named Joseph. With the help of TWCS editing team, we simply made Joseph into Rae Ann, changing nothing else. The fights, the laughter, and the love are authentic – for both heterosexual and homosexual partners.
Praise for Anniversary Killer
