Synopsis:
Are rules really meant to be broken? Jake Carrington finds out the hard way and the answer is no! Dating Chloe Wagner was a huge mistake, and Jake should have known better—he’s investigating the murder of Chloe’s sister. Now Chloe is the number one suspect in that murder. If she’s convicted, Jake could lose not only his rank, but his job. If that’s not bad enough, he’s got a stalker on his hands, someone who’s threatening his fledgling relationship with the lovely Mia. Things are getting just a little too personal for comfort!
Bio:
One of ten children, Marian took to writing to explore new and adventurous places. While her friends traveled on planes for vacation, Marian traveled in books. With an overactive imagination she started creating her own characters and stories. If I Fail, A Jake Carrington Mystery is the first book in the series. Her second book in the series, Burn in Hell is now available. This month she released a novella called As the World Ends. An avid reader, she discovered mysteries by reading the Daily News as a youngster. Intrigued by the real life crimes, and how the police worked and eventually solved them, ignited her imagination beyond the ordinary. Marian has many books planned for Jake Carrington and his crew. The third book in the series Mated for Life will be out sometime in 2014.

The Great Fruitcake Bake-off
Happy Launch Day!!!
Today, I celebrate the launch of my
funny holiday romantic comedy:
The Great Fruitcake Bake-off
I wrote this one for all of you
fruitcake naysayers. I love fruitcake, especially when dipped in chocolate.
Here's a blurb:
To defend her five wins, Samantha Greene, has to find a new entry
for The Great Fruitcake Bake-off and teams up with new neighbor, Dixon Roberts,
only what they discover is baking a award-winning entry can be complicated, bad
guys are plotting to take the crown, and ultimately, first prize isn't just
about a ribbon.
Are you teased? Here's more—the excerpt!
"I am not entering this
year." I pinned an unbreakable stare on Bethany, my long-time friend. We
were piddling over coffee in her cubical like we always did before getting to
the nuts and bolts of company business. "Period."
"Why not, Samantha? You should be
proud to be the five-time winner of the Great Fruitcake Bake-off. You're a
legend."
"Is
being a legend in the fruitcake world a good thing? It's exhausting. Finding
the perfect recipe, then bake and exhibit it. Besides, shouldn't somebody else
win?"
Bethany's fists went to her hips.
"Sam, we're talking fruitcake. It's not groundbreaking like, like the
Declaration of Independence or...the Pyramids."
"I'm
shocked to hear you say that. Fruitcake is the
cake of all time. It dates to--"
She bobbed her head. "To the
sixteenth century."
I
raised my finger. "It gets a bad--"
"Rap." She sighed a soul
searching blow of breath. "You always say that. You also always say you
love participating; yet, you're not defending your title this year."
"I've
used up all of Grammie's recipes."
"You could start over with the
first confection you entered five years ago, couldn't you?"
"It
seems like cheating...in a weird way. And I don't cheat."
"You are a shining example of
excellent values." She drummed her fingers from the littlest to the index
and considered. "I've got it! Why not check online and find a
recipe?"
"They
don't call you brainchild for nothing." I rubbed a finger along the divot
below my lower lip. A tiny speck of excitement blossomed within me. "I'll
need a brand new fruitcake. I wouldn't want to be like Crazy Wanda who enters
the same freakin' lump of dough every freakin' year."
"It never hurts to expand your
repertoire, even if it's by collecting fruitcake recipes."
Also available at Amazon, Barnes and
Noble, Smashwords.
