Hot Stuff (RT Award Nominee 2005 )

 

I was hired to accompany an art collector to India.  Act as his interpreter during negotiations to buy some cursed statue called Shiva’s Diva.  Easy.  I can translate over ten languages in my sleep.

 

Then the bullets started flying and I began using moves l perfected years ago in college gymnastic meets.  Next thing you know, I’m vaulting over tables and diving across a bar counter ending up in a saloon storeroom.  Not alone.  I’m sharing space with Briggan O’Brien, a man blessed with a saucy smile, pirate’s guile and the charm of a pub owner on St. Paddy’s Day.

Now we’re hiding in the Film City area of Mumbai called Bollywood.  We’re dancing and performing back flips in a Masala musical extravaganza atop Ferris Wheels and roller coasters just to hide from the sinners, slayers and sellers playing this deadly game of Hot Potato with Shiva’s Diva.

Not the best scenario for romance, especially with a man fluent in the one language I, Tempe Walsh, can’t decipher – love.

Ghost of a Chance....

 

Fifty years ago, actor Don Mueller was shot dead in front of 750 horrified patrons watching the melodrama, “Bad Business on the Brazos.”  Rumor has it his spirit still haunts the East Ellum Theatre in Dallas, Texas.

 

Five weeks ago, dancer Kiely Davlin was hired to choreograph a new production of Bad Business.  It’s a busy job.  When she’s not teaching dances,she’s falling for a villain, dodging near-fatal accidents and tripping over dead bodies and old bones.

            But this show is far from over.  If history repeats itself, Kiely may soon be joining Don Mueller as the theatre’s newest ghost.

Best-selling author Kasey Michaels said about Ghost of a Chance, “…a wacky cast of characters who deliver three full acts of matchmaking, mayhem… and murder.”

Sweet Dreams  NOW AVAILABLE FROM EHARLEQUIN.COM    as A WORLDWIDE MYSTERY SELECTION

I inherited my name, Abby, my height, 5’2”, and the gift of second sight from my great-grandmother Abigail Dumas.  She should have included instructions written in my genetic code for using that latter talent.

Precognition hasn’t stopped me from falling for popular “soap” star, Johnny Gerard.  Flashes of the future haven’t kept the two of us from being hounded by mobsters, attorneys, hit-men, less-than-respectable strip club bouncers –and looney daytime drama fans.

Johnny and I are supposed to open soon in a new Broadway show.  But, if my latest vision comes true, we won’t live long enough to hear the first chords from the orchestra.

Where’s Granny Abigail when I need her?
