ABOUT THE BOOK:
*This novel contains coarse language, violence, and sexual themes.

​Sonia yearns for sharp objects and blood. But now that she’s rehabilitating herself as a “normal” mother and mathematics teacher, it’s time to stop dreaming about slicing people’s throats.

While being the wife of Melbourne’s leading drug lord and simultaneously dating his best mate is not ideal, she’s determined to make it work.

It does work. Until Mia, her lover’s daughter, starts exchanging saliva with her son, Mick. They plan to commit a crime behind Sonia’s back. It isn’t long before she finds out and gets involved to protect them.

But is protecting the kids really Sonia’s motive?

I think the truth is: Jessica is passionate about her day job.

Great cover, Medeia!

I love country fairs. Did you eat any deep fried Twinkies or Ding Dongs? I've never tried them, as I'm pretty sure I'd get sick.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Agree with Jay - I think it's number three.
Cool photos!

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Those are great pictures of the fair. I don't believe Jessica wants to be a rock star. Lots of great books coming up this year.

Bish Denham said...

Congratulations, Jessica! I'm going with C. as well.

And those are some awesome pictures, Diane! Full of color, light and movement.

Jemi Fraser said...

2 talented authors!! I enjoy both of their works :)

Great photos Diane!

Carol Kilgore said...

Awesome photos!
Congrats to Medeia!
I think Jessica's true statement is C.

Michelle Wallace said...

Diane, the pics are GORGEOUS!
You are such a GOOD photographer!
Congrats to Jessica & Medeia!
I love Medeia's cover! It's so atmospheric...

Karen Lange said...

Congratulations to Jessica and Medeia! They are both wonderful, dedicated writers. I wish them much success!

Jessica Bell said...

Thanks so much for having me today! :) I'll be back in a couple of days to check on comments and such. And thanks, all, for dropping by and playing. And Medeia! Congrats to you too!

J.L. Campbell said...

Jessica and The White Lady have taken over the internet. Love the cover on Medeia's book. I'd love to be on one of these rides right now.

Joylene Nowell Butler said...

Congratulations Jessica and Medeia! Tough question; much harder than the others I've seen today. I'm going to say she's passionate about her day job. Makes me wonder what her night job is.

Arlee Bird said...

Well, to be different I'll say B-- rock star. Don't we all have that fantasy kind of sometimes?

Love the county fair photos. You captured the excitement nicely.

Congrats to Jessica and Medeia. And love your pictures from the fair. It looks so fun.

cleemckenzie said...

I won't guess this time out. I've already won Jessica's book and it sits patiently in my Kindle.

Loved the country fair images!

~Sia McKye~ said...

Love the pictures Diane!

Well Jessica grew up with rock stars so she could dream about it. She can certainly sing. :-)

Congrats to both Jessica and Medeia!

I'm guessing B.

I love your photos, and thank you for including my cover reveal.

Denise Covey said...

Lovely photos, L.Diane. Congrats to both Jessica and Medeia.

I say rock star as I know Jessica's parent/s are/were musicians and Jessica may well have the same ambition.

Dean K Miller said...

Both covers are intriguing. Congrats to Jessica and Medeia. I took my first (and only) helicopter ride at a county fair in OR many years ago. Way to late to guess and win, but I'm going with (a) French Patisserie.

Vanessa Morgan said...

Two women I can only admire :)

Mark Means said...

I'm going to guess "A".

Love those fair pics! You have a great eye, Diane.

L. Diane Wolfe said...

Thank you everyone for the nice comments about my photos.

Dean, OR as in Oregon? Which county? I grew up in Marion County.

Romance Book Haven said...

Congratulations to Medeia and Jessica!

CONGRATS to both Jessica and Medeia!

Diane, those county fair pictures are awesome!

Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com said...

Jessica's already a rock star, but I'm guessing #2.

Your county fair looks like a blast. Thanks for the photos.

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

Hi Diane - I've won too .. but I'm sure #B is the right answer ..

Your photos are amazing though ..what fun ... cheers Hilary

Nas said...

Congrats to Jessica! And also to Medeia! Loved your photos.

New Release Books said...

I liked all the photos you shared. Sounds fun too. Congratulations to Medeia and Jessica!

H. R. Sinclair said...

Love the chicken pic!

Congrats Jessica and Medeia.

I say the lie is #1

Crystal Collier said...

Yay for Jessica! Her book is kicking all kinds of trash.

I LOVE Medeia's new cover. It's epic.

Those rides remind me of Lagoon in Utah, an amusement part I used to go to as a kid. Ah...the memories.

Jessica Bell said...

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Congrats to Arlee Bird for being the first to guess correctly. I have your email so will send you a download link now. Cheers!

Arlee Bird said...

Very cool! Now since I'm on a winning streak maybe I should go buy a lotto ticket.

Thanks!

Jessica's book sounds creepy in a cool way. And I can't wait to read Medeia's book.
