Smart asses of the world -- unite!

If you like your humor with an edge and think that too many mysteries these days are fuddy-duddy and boring, then give my book a try. It can give you a fresh look at the South the way it really is (forget all that corn-pone crap) and you'll get a mystery and some laughs along with it. Try this book if you like your women strong and sassy and appreciate wry social commentary. Skip it if sarcasm turns you off or if you're offended by jokes about sex and the very occasional dirty word (there are no graphic scenes about sex or violence, however). As always, I'd welcome your comments via e-mail when you're done reading "Out Of Time". If you hurry, you can even influence my next Casey Jones, due out in the summer of 1999. Also, I have an upcoming 60-Second Mystery on the avonbooks.com website, so check it out if you want more Casey. Enjoy!
