Middy Brown Journal V


Book Description

Middy Brown and I have been constant companions for twenty years. Journal V concludes the series. I’ll miss her. One day I logged into my computer and there she was, demanding my attention. She’s been on my case since that moment, at writers’ conferences, author panels and having fun. Middy’s struggles almost took her down before moving beyond her ‘empty nest. syndrome’. She refers to the days prior to her adventures as living with full-time postpartum depression. She’s taken me along during her fifteen-year journey, which has taken me twenty years to write. She’s intuitive, wonderful, compassionate and often a very nosey gal, charging forward where ‘angels fear to tread.’ She can’t remember how many times Cal, the dreamiest P.I. on the planet has carted her out of the E.R. when the angels (or Cal) almost didn’t make it in time...Whew! Every woman, at some point in her life, is a “Middy” finding herself and love again, at least we hope we are.

Middy Brown's Journal I


Book Description

Praise for the first printing of Middy Brown's Journal I--An Appointed Time: "I couldn't put it down; I hope the next book comes out soon!" Pat McCord, Anchorage, AK "Inspirational mysteries like An Appointed Time are uplifting and emotionally charged novels. By the end, the audience feels good and hopeful about themselves and their reading experience. This particular book is loaded with subplots that not only enhance the story line, but also sustains the reader's attention throughout the book. M. Louise Smith has created a wonderful heroine regaining the spirit of her life even as she encourages fans to do likewise." Harriet Klausner, BookBrowser (* * * *--Amazon.com rating) "An Appointed Time is a book that is filled with mystery, international intrigue, danger and excitement, romance and heartache. It is also the story of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. And, it is the first of what this reviewer hopes are many more Middy Brown Stories." Jo Rogers. My Shelf "Rib-Rickling Funny!" Julie Failla, St. Louis
