Visions of Love

Sexy, Paranormal, romantic suspense, novel-length

Ex-FBI agent and psychic child finder, Grace Harris, is coerced into helping wealthy software king Steve Williams find his missing six-year-old daughter. Grace hasn’t done this work since she almost killed a man who’d murdered his daughter four years ago. She quit the FBI and gave up drinking, retiring to her home in South Carolina where generations of women in her family have been psychic healers. Grace doesn’t trust Steve Williams, but she falls hard for him anyway. In his arms, Grace begins to lose sight of everything, except her promise to find Bryce, Steve’s daughter. But there are too many secrets, too many lies, standing in her way. Can Grace’s psychic visions and FBI training, help her find Bryce? Or will they both be lost in a web of deceit and darkness?Visions of Love

That Old Flame of Mine

That Old Flame of Mine, the first book in the Sweet Pepper Fire Brigade Mysteries will be out next week, on April 2nd! Yay! It feels like forever since we sent it in. The publishing process doesn't move quickly.

We will be doing a mini book tour in Tennessee next week, with stops in Nashville, Knoxville, Sevierville and Pigeon Forge.

Blurb: Set in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, J. J. Cook’s thrilling new mystery series features Fire Chief Stella Griffin, who solves crime with the help of her predecessor, who just happens to be a ghost…

From Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries and More: "The writing team of Jim and Joyce Lavene (under the pen name JJ Cook) have created a wonderful new Southern cozy series - the Sweet Pepper Fire Brigade Series - set in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

Stella has left a cheating boyfriend behind in Chicago to start up a fire brigade in Sweet Pepper - not knowing there is an ulterior motive behind her being chosen for the job. When her good friend Tory dies in what appears to be an accidental house fire, Stella suspects arson and murder, especially when she discovers suspicious fires have haunted the woman for years. Aided by the ghost of the former fire chief Eric Gamlyn, Stella attempts to sniff out a killer while weeding through the townsfolk's secrets, including a few right in her own family!

There are so many questions left unanswered by the end of this book that the wait for book #2 is going to be a killer. Stella and Eric have developed a surprisingly touching relationship, and are a crime-solving duo to be reckoned with."
