- Book 1 of 9: Val Fremden Midlife Misadventures
“One of the best series I have read in YEARS!!!!”
“Knock-down hilarious!” "A hug for the soul!"
Sometimes All You Need is A Friend ... Even if They Might be Just a Little Bit Crazy.
A midlife meltdown leads to southern-fried mayhem in this outrageously funny story about a down-on-her-luck divorcee's attempt at starting life over again in St. Pete Beach, FL.
Duped out of her life savings in Germany, 45-year-old Val Fremden retreats home to Florida with more than just her pride in tatters. Broke, divorced, and virtually unemployable, starting over is going to be tough enough. But when her only friend suddenly turns up dead, Val begins to seriously wonder if the world is out to get her.
Maybe it is … maybe it isn't.
The sugar-white sands of Sunset Beach attract weirdos like mosquitoes to a bug zapper. So when the will of Val’s friend makes the local newspaper, weirdos and con artists stumble from their beach shacks to claim a piece of the leftover pie.
Determined to find her friend’s true heir, Val reluctantly turns to three crackpots for help—a boozehound, a redneck, and a snarky beach bum. Working at odds with each other, their bumbling investigation attracts the attention of a hot cop. He quickly gets into the fray and under Val’s skin. Whether it’s in a good way or bad only time will tell. Because sometimes, it’s not until you reach the bottom of the barrel that you find out who your true friends are.
Read this Humorous Women’s Fiction/Cozy Mystery Series if You Love:

- Small-Town Secrets
- Ride-or-Die Best Friends
- Later-in-Life Reinvention

If you adore cozy, women-centric mysteries like Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum or Jana Deleon's Fortune Redding, and funny-yet-heartfelt stories like those from Sara Goodman Confino, Maddie Dawson and Fannie Flag, you'll probably find yourself resonating with Val Fremden, too. She's a lovable, bungling mess who's a bit older, a tad more jaded, and a ton more experienced in big-time failure. Life’s been tough for Val. Still, she always manages to find her way with sardonic humor and an intrepid spirit. A gin and tonic now and then helps, too.
