"I couldn't put it down. Read from first page to last. Enjoyed it so much. It was an easy read and just the right thing for a Saturday.. I look forward to any other books written by Janice Ivy."
"This was an excellent adventure, full of murder and mayhem, as well as humor and romance! A story for everyone and you'll love every minute.
The characters are wonderfully colorful. The plot is incredibly wicked!"
"What a fun and engaging book. I purchased it thinking I'd read 10-15 minutes a day... and on the second day was finished and wishing there was a sequel to find out what happens next with the main characters. It took me a chapter or two to become captivated, but before I knew it I was justifying "just one more chapter" and time was flying by. The humor was surprising and welcome. I'm a fan of murder mysteries and while this had the murder and intrigue, it also had a fair share of humorous moments. The characters are a departure from my 'real life' but it wasn't difficult at all to identify with them. I'm looking forward to a follow-up story!"
"Janice Ivy has created a caffeine-addicted cigarette-smoking sharp-witted heroine that will have you smiling as you turn the pages of this excellently written mystery. The denizens of this RV park will make you wonder about your neighbors and what they may be up to. Splendid read."
"This book is a delight. It bounces along at a rapid, page-turning pace. The characters are vivid and hilarious. It was so easy and fun to read. It's a perfect beach book or for curling up on your favorite chair and escaping for awhile....highly recommended!"

I've been reading other blogs--just trying to get the hang of this whole social networking thing. I see where they post all these interesting, insightful articles about life in general and writing in particular and I think maybe I should forgo this experience.
I work. A lot. I don't really have time for this. It's not that my books aren't important to me, they are, but paying bills and taking care of my family are fairly significant too.
I'm a teacher/writer/whatever is needed for an online school. It's a wonderful place to work. The people are super, the vision of the founder is brilliant and innovative. I love what I do. I just sometimes wish there were two of me, so I could do that and spend time writing novels and promoting them.

Wanted: Book promoter.
What I need is somebody to promote my books. I'll write them and you sell them. You will need to create interesting and interactive blogs, tweet until your blue in the face, have a Facebook presence, do all those fun but time consuming things that BookBuzzr recommends, become active on the Kindle forums...Well, you get the drift I'm sure.
I estimate that you can get the job done by working 24/7 for an unspecified amount of time, keeping in mind that it's entirely possible that you'll never make a penny.
First assignment: Tell me why I ever thought I could do this. Explain in detail.

This is some complicated stuff...
A person could get totally lost in this whole blog thing. There's so much to figure out and so many choices to make. Well, a person who has a lot of time on their hands could anyway.
I just tried pretty much every design available and in the end went back to what I started with. There are too many choices, too many colors, too many options. Wow.

Charlene’s first novel has just been published and she couldn’t be happier. Unfortunately, being a published author isn’t quite as lucrative as she had hoped. She needs a day job that will give her time to finish her second novel before the money from the first one runs out. Managing a small RV park on the Mississippi Gulf Coast seems like the perfect gig. It’s close to the beach, the rent is paid, and the job demands are minimal.
Things seem to be working out just great until the murders start.
Who is killing people at the Happy Times RV Park? Charlene intends to find out, with the help of a senior citizen ex-madam, a fugitive from the 60s, and a good looking cop with a shady past.
