Hot Stuff (RT Award Nominee 2005 )
I was hired to accompany an art collector to India. Act as his interpreter during negotiations to buy some cursed statue called Shiva’s Diva. Easy. I can translate over ten languages in my sleep.
Then the bullets started flying and I began using moves l perfected years ago in college gymnastic meets. Next thing you know, I’m vaulting over tables and diving across a bar counter ending up in a saloon storeroom. Not alone. I’m sharing space with Briggan O’Brien, a man blessed with a saucy smile, pirate’s guile and the charm of a pub owner on St. Paddy’s Day.
Now we’re hiding in the Film City area of Mumbai called Bollywood. We’re dancing and performing back flips in a Masala musical extravaganza atop Ferris Wheels and roller coasters just to hide from the sinners, slayers and sellers playing this deadly game of Hot Potato with Shiva’s Diva.
Not the best scenario for romance, especially with a man fluent in the one language I, Tempe Walsh, can’t decipher – love.

Ghost of a Chance....
Fifty years ago, actor Don Mueller was shot dead in front of 750 horrified patrons watching the melodrama, “Bad Business on the Brazos.” Rumor has it his spirit still haunts the East Ellum Theatre in Dallas, Texas.
Five weeks ago, dancer Kiely Davlin was hired to choreograph a new production of Bad Business. It’s a busy job. When she’s not teaching dances,she’s falling for a villain, dodging near-fatal accidents and tripping over dead bodies and old bones.
But this show is far from over. If history repeats itself, Kiely may soon be joining Don Mueller as the theatre’s newest ghost.

Best-selling author Kasey Michaels said about Ghost of a Chance, “…a wacky cast of characters who deliver three full acts of matchmaking, mayhem… and murder.”

Sweet Dreams
I inherited my name, Abby, my height, 5’2”, and the gift of second sight from my great-grandmother Abigail Dumas. She should have included instructions written in my genetic code for using that latter talent.
Precognition hasn’t stopped me from falling for popular “soap” star, Johnny Gerard. Flashes of the future haven’t kept the two of us from being hounded by mobsters, attorneys, hit-men, less-than-respectable strip club bouncers –and looney daytime drama fans.
Johnny and I are supposed to open soon in a new Broadway show. But, if my latest vision comes true, we won’t live long enough to hear the first chords from the orchestra.
Where’s Granny Abigail when I need her?

Review of HAUNTING MELODY by Flo Fitzpatrick
Cerridwen Press, July 2007
Melody Flynn has it made--a perfect apartment in New York and a dog. Sure a love life would be nice, but a perfect apartment in New York is what's really important. Except this apartment seems to be haunted. When Melody tries to get to the bottom of the haunt, she's transported back into the Ziegfeld Folies of 1919--and meets Briley MacIntyre, a man who's sure she has been sent to spy on the follies for one of the tabloid publications that makes money off of misery.
With her height and dancing ability, Melody scores a part in the Folies, inspires Irving Berlin, and even manages to end up in the same apartment where she'd lived in contemporary New York. With the show in the evening and parties all night, 1919 looks to be a pretty good year for Melody--and there's quickly a line of men hoping she'll join them for dinner--as well as whatever comes afterwards. Now, if only she could get Briley interested, because she can't help being interested in him. All looks great, all right--except for the young women who have been vanishing, and the one found murdered. When Melody becomes a target, she resolves to solve the mystery--and drag Briley along for the ride.
Author Flo Fitzpatrick (see more BooksForABuck.com reviewed of romance by Fitzpatrick) combines a fascinating look at New York and the world of the theater almost a century ago with some fun mystery and a charming romance. The theater scenes ring true, as do Fitzpatrick's look into the occult of the time. The romance itself is charming, with the injured Briley gradually learning to trust again, while Melody deals with the certainty that eventually she will leave Briley--probably just when he'd come to believe she wouldn't. After all, time travel is a sneaky thing. Fitzpatrick fills her story with fascinating secondary characters and a look at white slavery in the early 1900s. I'm happy to recommend this well-written and compelling novel.
