Author: Carol Kilgore
Gracie Hofner returns,
and chaos reigns—including a couple of ghosts trying to save their
granddaughter. But as Gracie dances from problem to problem, she’s unaware the
music has been orchestrated into a murderous symphony.
When a different melody
reaches Gracie’s ears from a guitar played by the new tenant living in her
garage apartment, her tension vanishes. She listens unseen, cocooned in the
shadows on her patio, and wonders who he’s longing for—and how it would feel
for someone to crave her that much.
She can’t dwell on those
thoughts, however. Problems of murder and missing prisoners abound. To say
nothing of the ghosts. No one ever said being a law enforcement consultant
would be easy.
Bluebonnet Ballerina
follows Jalapeno Cupcake Wench and is the second book in The Amazing Gracie
Trilogy.
Excerpt:
“Ow! Ow! Ow!” Gracie Hofner twitched with each exclamation.
“For crying out loud, Gracie, you’d think I was trying to
kill you.”
“You are. This is supposed to feel good.” Gracie tried to
lift herself up.
Ariana held her down with one arm and tortured her with the
other. “You’ve got a knot bigger than Thor’s fist in here. I’m working it
loose.”
“It’ll work itself out.”
“No it won’t. It’ll give you a headache and neck spasms and
a hitch in your side. Now lie still and shut up.” A hundred and ten skinny
pounds of pure muscle and bone returned to attacking Gracie’s back.
Ariana Ayala was Gracie’s best friend, but when Ariana went
into massage mode, arguing was futile. This was her first massage in her
friend’s new studio, but nothing about her technique had changed. Gracie sighed
and tried to relax. The more she loosened up, the harder Ariana dug. The woman
had forty fingers and ten elbows, all of them poking Gracie’s sore back.
“Much better now.” Ariana continued to knead the same spot,
except with much less pressure. That’s what it felt like, but Ariana always
said the pressure was the same. The difference was the muscle had relaxed.
“Next time, I’ll work on it again. It won’t be as bad. You must’ve had one hell
of a week.”
“Something like that.”
“You can tell me later. Relax now. You’ll enjoy the rest of
this.”
