A Quirky Mystery for Baby Boomers of All Ages
Introducing the Andrea Bravos Mysteries
When Andrea Bravos hears that the remains of her ex-husband have just arrived in the mail in a Styrofoam burger box, she wonders about exactly what the jerk — and his fourth wife — have been up to lately. Finding the answer will annoy her grown children, irritate the U.S. Treasury Department and introduce her to just enough Scottish witchcraft to wonder if she might really be Jewish. It’s exactly the kind of adventure a Baby Boomer needs to forget it’s time to retire.
Coming soon. For more information, email Nancy Hersage.
A Suspense Novel
Now available from London Publisher Online Originals.
An American woman working in Amsterdam shares a room with a Filipino woman during an overnight emergency hospital stay. The two exchange only a few brief words before a man arrives and arranges for the Filipino woman to be discharged. Those few words, however, are enough to create a bond between the two strangers that will pull the American into the current morass of global sex trafficking and make the Filipina part of a clandestine movement lead by an African legal scholar to create the most important international Tribunal since Nuremberg.
