Bobbi Smith is back! This first chapter is catching up with what happened after her first Christmas Party

Shortly afterwards a woman about 28 and a man who was about 35 both wearing suits entered the room. They introduced themselves as special agents King and Manning of the FBI.

Chapter Three

In the week leading to the half-term break, Hank and Olaf were back at the university and the four friends were told to meet them in one of the offices. When they arrived, Prudence was with them. Hank made sure that they were all comfortable and then started talking.

Chapter 4: Mommy Dearest

I had just butchered an eight-foot-tall, cleaver-wielding monstrosity that used to be my father, hacking his bloated neck until his head rolled across the floor in a puddle of oily black sludge.

*Teaser Chapters 1, 2, and 3 only!*

Seeking a fresh start with a new job, Quinn Miller, a high school math teacher, finds himself participating in a Homecoming spirit week challenge that pushes him to his limits — in the girliest possible way...

Quinn Miller needs to grow up. Fresh off a divorce and already in his thirties, he knows he needs to settle down somewhere and establish roots. His new job teaching math at Garrison High School feels like the perfect way to make connections and build a lasting career. The only problem? It’s Homecoming season, and Quinn is not the school spirit type.

But Quinn knows if he’s going to get anywhere in life, he needs to embrace change. So why not sign up for one of the newly minted spirit week challenges? You know, something simple. Baking cookies for the bake sale, staying late to decorate the halls… or teaching a full day of class dressed as a girl.

My brand new 344-page 27-chapter novel is available on Amazon for eBook and Paperback! If you enjoy this sample, I hope you give the rest of the book a shot :)

With Love,
Jennifer
