"THIRTY AND A HALF EXCUSES"




By: Denise Grover Swank







Synopsis:

Life in Henryetta, Arkansas is turned upside down with the arrival of a televangelist, but it’s the death of a little old lady on Rose’s street that catches her attention. The Henryetta police deem her death natural causes, but Rose suspects foul play and so does an unlikely supporter–-the president of the Busy Body Club, her eighty-two year old neighbor Mildred.

But Rose is in the middle of opening her nursery with her sister Violet, who’s separated from her husband Mike, as well as stalling her boyfriend Joe’s family, rich socialites who are determined to meet her. Along with her multiple encounters with Fenton County’s new assistant DA, Mason Deveraux III, it’s just another day in the life of Rose Gardner–-chaos.

Author Bio:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Denise Grover Swank was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in the area until she was nineteen. Then she became a nomadic gypsy, living in five cities, four states and ten houses over the course of ten years before she moved back to her roots. She speaks English and smattering of Spanish and Chinese which she learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion period.  Her hobbies include witty Facebook comments (in own her mind) and dancing in her kitchen with her children. (Quite badly if you believe her offspring.)  Hidden talents include the gift of justification and the ability to drink massive amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within two minutes. Her lack of the sense of smell allows her to perform many unspeakable tasks.  She has six children and hasn’t lost her sanity. Or so she leads you to believe.

  2. 2 Keurigs! Geez, women mine just broke and had to resort to a $20 coffee maker until I can save for a new one. I'm good saving. I think I might save for 2 now so if it happens again the $ will be there right away now. HAHA! Brilliant on you for having a spare.

    However, what on earth do you do with your old laptop if you buy a new one every year?

    Awesome on adopting! I knew it from following you, but still its awesome! We were going to but my bad back injury has made that an impossibility. I always wanted to be adopted as a kid but never happened so warms my heart when I see success!

    Thanks for the giveaway! Book sounds like it's going to be a cool read.

  3. Admittedly, I did not know most of these things about you and some of them are pretty intriguing (e.g. love for candles you can't smell!) so your children did a very good job! I recently bought the first two books in this series and I look greatly forward to reading them before moving on to the third installment.
