Good Adventures,
Today, I'm reading ch 1 of my new novel, How to Sex Your Snake.
Comment over on our Youtube channel.
Ninjas & Wrestlers & Giants, oh my!
June’s life is in limbo. Since being the personal assistant to her twin brother does not include helping wrangle his lizards up on the International Space Station—thank God—she’s got free time on her hands. Which for her, usually means trouble. But not this time. Nope, she’s just going to relax, avoid any sort of publicity, steer clear of her brother's nutty fans The Dewzers, and just hang out with Morgan. Except he's on his first case as a private eye and he needs to make one little stop. Where June's attacked by a ninja.
Well that escalated quickly.
When clues lead her and Morgan to wrestlers who impersonate the Nash twins, it becomes personal. Big June and the Bugs? Puh-leaze.
Now she’s cape deep in the world of semi-professional wrestling. And as Morgan works his way through this first case, June realizes he's in over his head and she's about to end up down for the count. Permanently!
You'll find it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Google Play https://books2read.com/u/3JRExv
And Nora's Saga over at Allegiance.
That's it for now. I'll see you next time, go read a good book, Melissa
