Coming August 15, 2012! - New mystery series Featuring actress and former rodeo champion P.L. McGinnis who tends to dive into dangerous situations with nothing but a strong sense of humor as back-up.
SERENADE TO A CUCKOO
Portraying Detective Jocelyn Girard on television forensic drama Crime Unit New Jersey involves dealing with special-effects corpses, high speed chases, and flamboyant gymnastic feats for actress P.L. (Princess Louise) McGinnis.
But when P.L. begins stumbling over "real live dead bodies" she's thrust into a mystery which mirrors C.U.N.J. episodes, including a pursuit-on-horseback-by-a-clown scene in the middle of a New Jersey Thanksgiving Parade. If P.L. can't produce the antique clock which holds the key to the murders, her final scene might be filmed at her own funeral.
Haunting Melody - Available Now!
An antique musical doll, cranberry-stained sheet music and the machinations of an eccentric, stupidly-short witch with a fondness for Elvis throw Melody Flynn through time to the 1919 Ziegfeld Follies. Mel soon finds herself dealing with jealous chorus girls while trying to learn songs and dances created nearly 100 years before she was born.
That's the easy part. When she begins a race to track down missing chorines, she's suddenly battling fanatic Egyptian cultists, murderous bordello madams - and her growing feelings for stagehand Briley McShan.

Aria In Ice - Available Now!
Scouting for a "must be chilly/must be spooky" medieval castle in Prague to use as the background for a musical film based on a Gothic novel is, to quote Gershwin, "nice work if you can get it."
Dancer Abby Fouchet (Sweet Dreams) acting as location scout for film company Headlights Productions has "got" it. She's also got her soap star fiancé playing wannabe burglar, a psychic with more costumes than a Broadway touring company, assorted film divas and grave-robbers popping up around Kouzlo Noc, Abby's choice for the atmospherically creepy castle.
Then there's the ghost. Ignatz Jezek, flautist and craftsman (who died in 1792) is providing musical accompaniment primarily from Mozart's The Magic Flute, an opera dear to Jezek's departed heart. Abby is the only one being entertained by flute music because along with her gifts of second-sight Abby has the unique and often maddening ability to "hear" spirits.
Throw murder into the mix of cast, crew and and Abby's "nice work" may just end up getting her as cold as Kouzlo Noc and Ignatz Jezek.
