Book Two of The Ninja Grandparent Placement Mysteries

Available soon for pre-order!

 

A mysterious ninja kidnaps a lonely senior citizen and places her with a family in need of a grandparent.


Lovey Dearheart, a sixty-nine-year-old dance instructor, lives a full but solitary life with her little pink poodle Duchess. On the way from her cabin at the Hummingbird Gardens Senior Apartments, a ninja snatches Lovey off a snowy sidewalk. Lovey fears a fanatical fan from her past has kidnapped her to be their unwilling Valentine’s date.


When another senior goes missing before Valentine’s Day, romance is the last thing twenty-five-year-old Brie Bramble has time or talent for. The senior teaches a sultry dance class at the Happy Marmot Community Association where Brie works as the gym receptionist. To keep Lovey’s class going, Brie tries to twerk her way into the role of the missing elderly woman, with disastrous results. In desperation, Brie asks her father, Thorne, to use his questionable private investigator skills to crack this case.


Thorne Bramble’s investigation takes him into the lair of a donut-loving mastermind who counsels incels in the art of seduction. Will Colorado Springs’s finest PI locate Lovey Dearheart before she falls in love with a family obsessed with musical theater? Or will an emotional teen whose favorite color is black steal Lovey’s tell-tale heart?

Available wherever you purchase books in paperback and eBook! Or find it on Amazon and Kindle! Start reading today!

 

A mysterious ninja kidnaps a lonely senior citizen and places him with a family in need of a grandparent.


Barry Strong, a seventy-year-old bodybuilder and widower, isn’t ready for romance. When his New Year’s Eve dance partner leads him away from the party, he attempts to resist her charms. Until a bag drops over his head. 

 

Thorne Bramble, self-proclaimed Best Private Investigator in Colorado Springs, is determined to find his missing friend. After all, Barry owes Thorne a free celery juice. Bodybuilder Barry promised to help Thorne fulfill his resolution to whip his dad bod into shape. Resolution number two is trickier. When Thorne tries to improve his awkward relationship with his adult daughter Brie, he learns being a PI is much easier than being a dad. 


True crime podcast fan and gym receptionist Brie Bramble reluctantly joins forces with her bumbling PI father to look for Barry. Twenty-five-year-old Brie steps out of her boring existence to go deep undercover with the help of a senior burlesque dance instructor.

Can the sleuthing father-daughter duo work together to find the missing senior citizen? Or will Barry Strong’s heart be kidnapped by a family in desperate need of a grandparent?
