WELCOME TO THE JENNIFER MARSH MYSTERIES
Originally published by Ballantine Books, they are currently available in electronic format.

Jennifer Marsh is an unpublished mystery writer who is desperate to see her books in print. She's fun, impulsvie, and sometimes a bit out of touch with reality. But what can you expect from a gal who's always plotting murder--at least the fictional kind?  Her writers' group is full of quirky characters who are always there when she needs them. And so is Sam, the good looking and wise-cracking newspaper reporter who just might be the love of her life. Her adventures are always amusing and frequently dangerous. I invite you to meet her. She might just put a smile on your lips.

DYING TO GET PUBLISHED

Jennifer Marsh is a mystery writer with a stack of
eight unpublished manuscripts and rejection letters to match filling her
closet.  She's sure that if she can
just get famous for something, someone will have to publish her books.  Why not murder?

She'll find a target so mean that she'd actually be
doing the world a favor by bumping him or her off.  And she knows just the person:
Penney Richmond, a high-powered literary agent who's made it her job to ruin people's lives. 
All Jennifer has to do is frame herself, do the deed, and come out with an iron-clad alibi, and she'll be well on her way to getting a three book
deal.  So what if she chickens out  at the last minute?  A vegetarian  good girl who rescued a greyhound could never actually kill someone. 
But when Penney is found murdered and the police think Jennifer did it,  she’d better find the real murderer before she goes away... for life.
 
Along with her eccentric writer's group, spunky old ladies with  a nose for sleuthing, her neurotic greyhound, and a sexy, sarcastic reporter
named Sam, Jennifer embarks on a journey filled with danger, deception, and  disguises that could leave her Dying to Get Published...


DYING FOR A CLUE

The third in the acclaimed Jennifer Marsh mystery series!

Jennifer Marsh is going under cover... well, not technically under cover. She is the brand new 
personal assistant to an honest to God private eye. An unpublished mystery writer who's solved a few real-life mysteries, Jennifer hopes some on the job experience with a pro will give her the next great book idea.

So what if  the only person who'll let her ride along is Johnny Zeeman, a professional sleeze ball and small time detective?

When they witness a murder in the alley behind a fertility clinic, and Johnny takes a bullet, Jennifer finds herself tied up in a case full of family secrets... secrets so deep someone will  kill to keep them.

And when Jennifer takes on Johnny's client, a
local  college student desperate for answers about her past, she may just have traced a  target on her own back.

The search for the killer has Jennifer plotting  with her writers' group, hiding out (and playing house) with her sexy  reporter  friend, Sam, and dodging bullets in a quest for the truth that has her  Dying for a Clue...







DYING TO BE MURDERED

The Fifth in the acclaimed Jennifer Marsh Mystery series!

Mary Ashton is convinced someone is going to murder her, and that there’s nothing she can do
to  stop it. But what she can do is hire npublished mystery writer Jennifer Marsh  to record her final days, so her killer won’t get away with it. Mary may seem a  little loony, but she’s one of Macon’s leading socialites, or at least  she was  until the competency hearing. AND she’s offering Jennifer $1,000 a week  to stay  in her home, the historic Ashton mansion, reputed to be haunted by a
Civil War  heroine. The money’s too good to turn down, especially for a starving writer, so  Jennifer agrees. And what’s the harm? Why would anyone want Mary Ashton dead? 

But the first night at the mansion, Jennifer’s awakened by blood curdling  screams coming from Mary’s room, which is directly beneath her own.
Trapped in  her room, Jennifer is helpless. When she finally escapes, she finds a  blood-soaked bed straight out of a horror movie but no sign of Mary’s body. 

Old  family secrets and grudges, mysterious deaths, and ghostly lights that move about the mansion lead to a mystery fraught with danger and intrigue. 

Jennifer’s writers’ group offers their usual comic relief as they continue their journey toward getting published. Jennifer’s sarcastic reporter 
boyfriend Sam is there to lend his assistance as well. And, of course, so is her  greyhound Muffy.

DYING TO GET EVEN

The second in the acclaimed Jennifer Marsh mystery series!

Unpublished author and reluctant amateur detective Jennifer Marsh doesn't know how she
keeps  finding herself in the middle of a murder. Okay, the first one was her  fault  (she framed herself) but this one is just bad luck: catching her good  friend,  Emmie Walker, standing over her dead ex-husband, Edgar, holding a  bloody  knife.

Jennifer's sure Emmie is innocent. She's a sweet senior  citizen  who is way too smart to do something so stupid. So what if she has
motive (her  former husband was loaded and she'd gain ownership over his successful chain of  restaurants) and opportunity (found holding a knife over  his body)? She's not  the only one.

Edgar Walker was not a nice man.  People were probably  standing in line to murder him. The question is who got to him  first?

With help from her quirky writer's group, gorgeous, cranky   reporter Sam, and her own fictional heroine Maxie Malone, Jennifer's determined   to get to the bottom of this... before Emmie's convicted based on Jennifer's
own  eyewitness testimony.


DYING TO REMEMBER

Dying to Remember is the fourth in the acclaimed Jennifer Marsh Mystery Series.

Twelve years ago Jimmy Mitchell disappeared the night of  Jennifer  Marsh’s prom, and now her good friend Leigh Ann is desperate for  Jennifer to  accompany her to their high school reunion. Nothing could make her  go back to  confront Sheena Cassidy, the backbiting, mean-spirited, boyfriend  stealing  junior squad cheerleader that made her life a living hell—nothing  except a note  from Sheena’s now husband Danny Buckner, Jennifer’s first love  and prom date,  who is pleading for her help with something that happened on that horrendous  prom night. But when she gets to the reunion, Danny barely has
a chance to speak  with Jennifer before he’s drawn away by one of his in-crowd. 

Less than an hour  later Danny’s dead in the parking lot, an apparent suicide.  And Gavin Lawless,  budding singer/song writer and the love of Leigh Ann’s life,  has returned to  dredge up exactly what happened to Jimmy Mitchell that dreadful night twelve  years ago that left Gavin with repressed memories and war hero Ben
Underwood  under a cloud of suspicion in Jimmy’s disappearance. Old grudges and new  insights lead Jennifer straight into danger as she’s left Dying to Remember…

Jennifer’s writers’ group is back, ready as always, to go undercover and ferret out information and help with outrageous ideas.  Jennifer’s  boyfriend, investigative reporter Sam is back, too, as is her ever  faithful  greyhound Muffy.

DYING TO GET HER MAN

DYING TO GET HER MAN is the 6th in the acclaimed Jennifer Marsh Mystery series.

On the coldest day in Macon, Georgia’s recent history, Suzanne Gray dressed herself in white, tied a blue ribbon in her hair, gathered a bouquet of white roses, typed a suicide note, lay herself down on her lover’s grave, and froze to death. Or did she? Suzanne's niece doesn't think so.

Neither does mystery writer Jennifer Marsh. Not only was the note not  signed, but, well, honestly the whole thing sounds fishy to Jennifer and she  can't let it go. Sam Culpepper, the reporter on the case and Jennifer's boyfriend, not only appears to be hiding some of the details from Jennifer but 
seems more interested in taking their relationship to the next level than discussing work. So why, then, does an engagement announcement for Sam and his ex-girlfriend appear in the paper the next day?

Did Suzanne commit suicide or was she murdered? Did Suzanne’s lover really die from a slip on the stairs? Does Sam have another relationship that Jennifer knew nothing about? 
What will it take to solve these mysteries? When the bullets start to fly, Jennifer knows that she’d better figure out what's happening, or she'll be 
paying with more than her heart... she'll be paying with her life.

Jennifer and Sam are going on their honeymoon! Sounds wonderful, except that Jennifer has no idea where Sam is taking her. It's the middle of winter, so it has to be someplace warm with plenty of sand and sun, right?

Imagine her surprise when she finds herself in the middle of a snowstorm in Pennsylvania in what's advertised as a "haunted" mansion for a murder mystery weekend. She's intrigued, especially by the amazing special effects created by the inn's owner, Rex Ferris.

But things seldom go smoothly for Jennifer, and when a fellow diner face plants into her coconut cream pie and dies from a seizure, Jennifer suspects murder. After all, the victim is on a girls' weekend with her frenemies from college. Who could possibly want her dead, except every one of them? And who else might be on Jennifer's suspect list?  The only thing certain is the killer is still nearby, trapped by three-feet of snow and dangerous travel conditions.

Fans will be happy to see Mrs. Walker crash Jennifer's honeymoon to take over the murder investigation, so Jen and Sam can get back to their romantic activities. Fun and romance vie with an intriguing mystery that will keep the reader guessing to the very end.
