Finding Mr. Right Is Murder

      Leanne Aimes can’t believe that a woman is found dead on the first night of her best friend’s new business venture, Pajama Dates. A nasty murder won’t be good for business, but it might be good for Leanne ... if solving the murder of Ms. Dead leads her into the arms of Mr. Right.
      Mr. Possibly Right, aka Gage Braxton, has no interest in romance. He's involved in this crazy slumber party gig to catch a crook, not a woman. Leanne is a dangerous distraction, not to mention a murder suspect. He needs to get his mind out of the gutter and into the game before the murderer decides it's time to kill again.

       Shara began her life as a writer, or so she thinks.
       First, she created those little About Me books with a balloon on the back. In fourth grade, she spent the year working on a "novel" set on the Arcade and Attica Railroad in western New York (Shara's hometown). Finally she managed publication in high school, writing and editing the Entertainment Page in her school paper.
       Of course, there was a large period of time during which she planned to be an astronaut or a rock star, whichever came first. And what was her major in college? Film Studies, of course. That seemed to be the only way to work space travel, music, and writing together and call it a degree.
       Since college, Shara has been focusing seriously on writing romance novels. Besides VRW, she belongs to the Washington Romance Writers and the Kiss of Death chapters of RWA®. This spring, Shara participated in her local Citizens' Police Academy, and had a blast shooting at things, meeting sexy SWAT guys, and riding around in cop cars during high speed chases. All in the name of research for her books, of course.
       Shara currently resides in Virginia with her husband, son, and ancient cocker spaniel. When she's not writing, she's killing her chile plants, setting fires in her oven, and avoiding housework at all costs.
