This is a series that stands on its own. It’s
a tongue-in-cheek spy novel full of action.

Description by Author:
…If a kickass middle-aged bookkeeper got
sucked into a spy’s life…
When secret agent Aydan Kelly investigates a
disgraced CIA agent, he insists he was only following orders. Four days later
he mysteriously dies while in custody.
Aydan suspects that a CIA director killed him
to hide a profitable connection with an international arms dealer. As she digs
deeper, Aydan knows she’s on the right track when assassins start trying to
kill her. But when the arms dealer deposits twenty million dollars in her bank
account, suspicion veers toward Aydan.
With only three days left before she’s jailed
for treason, Aydan fights to stay alive, capture the elusive arms dealer, and
clear her name.

Contains coarse language, moderate violence,
and sexuality. The story can stand alone but will be more enjoyable if the
series is read in order.
About
the Author:
By
profession, I’m a technical writer, computer geek, and ex-interior designer.
I’m good at two out of three of these things. I had the sense to quit the one I
sucked at.
To
deal with my mid-life crisis, I also write adventure novels featuring a
middle-aged female protagonist, Aydan Kelly. And I kickbox.
This
seemed more productive than indulging in more typical mid-life crisis activities
like getting a divorce, buying a Harley Crossbones, and cruising across the
country picking up men in sleazy bars. Especially since it’s winter most of the
months of the year here.
It’s
much more comfortable to sit at my computer. And hell, Harleys are expensive.
Come to think of it, so are beer and gasoline.
Oh,
and I still love my husband. There’s that. I’ll stick with the writing.
