Mysteries

“Florida Man” has met his match in Bobbie Drex, a down-and-out native of the Sunshine State. She may be short on cash, but she’s always packing enough snark to give any whack-job a run for his money.

Including her wisecracking, redneck cousin, Earl.

But when a mysterious stranger arrives at her mechanic shop seeking repairs to his ratty old RV, it’s Bobbie who’s in for a complete overhaul.

Phantom shooters in hot-pants. Gonadal twins. Norman Bates in a turban. Mothman pooper scoopers.

It’s enough to make anyone want to run off and join the circus! But in Florida, you don’t have to. Wait long enough, and the freak show comes to you.

So, grab some mosquito repellent and a lawn chair. Then sit back and relax. Things are about to go sidesplittingly off the rails in the Sunshine State ….

All Bobbie Drex wanted was something normal—a new career as a private investigator. But after signing up with Nick Grayson to complete her internship, nothing normal has happened since.

In fact, when Grayson gets a call about a possible alien invasion going down in Plant City, Florida, normal packs its bags and books a flight for another planet.

Man pudding. Doomsday preppers. Wayne’s World wannabees ….

Not to mention the whole “living with a stranger in an RV” thing.
The horrors!

Good thing she’s packing a Glock—and enough snark to qualify as a lethal backup weapon.

What better place than the Sunshine State for dark souls to live out their golden years? After all, who would notice?

Uh … Bobbie and Grayson, of course.

As a rogue physicist turned conspiracy chaser, Grayson’s motto is, “Have sentience, will travel.” As a broke private-eye wannabe, Bobbie doesn’t have much choice but to follow his sketchy command.

But every road Grayson travels leads to the bizarre, the unexplained, and to taco-induced heartburn.

Vampires. Zombiguanas. Ikigai smell. Cheesy moustaches.

It’s hard to decide which is scarier.

But decide, Bobbie must. And before sundown, too. Because in the freaky parts of Florida she now investigates with Grayson, nothing is ever quite exactly as it seems ….

When Bobbie and Grayson go on the hunt for the cryptic Florida Skunk Ape, there’s more than one tangled mystery afoot.

Grayson, the man Bobbie’s hung her life and career on, is every bit as evasive as the legendary animal they’re tracking.

A colossally bad judgement-call leaves Bobbie wondering just exactly who—or what—the elusive creature is. And she doesn’t mean Bigfoot.

What she discovers may leave her questioning the entire primate subclass ….

Swamp gas. Batman. Sasquash casserole.

Does life imitate ape, or ape imitate life?

It’s going to take all of Bobbie’s fledgling investigative skills to figure out that enigma.

When Grayson and Bobbie head to the Florida Panhandle to witness a spectacle of nature, they take a wrong turn and quickly find themselves up to their armpits in arthropods.

And that’s the good part of their vacation.

Campers are disappearing without a trace from nearby Torreya State Park. Whatever’s stalking them soon sets its eyes on Bobbie and Grayson, too.

Toadsicles. Bugaboos. Entomophagous barbeque.

It’s enough to make anyone lose their appetite!

Have Bobbie and Grayson finally bitten off more than they can chew? Or will they swallow their fears and capture the creature that’s been bugging them?

Only one thing’s for sure. Either way, they’re gonna need a bigger can of Raid ...

When Bobbie and Grayson head back to Plant City to help out some old friends, they run into a “hole” new set of problems.

While investigating a rash of missing persons, it’s not long before they get under each other’s skin. What’s making them all hot and bothered? Each other. In more ways than one.

Bobbie’s down-to-earth explanations for the missing men irritate Grayson, while his otherworldly theories have her itching for a sane solution.

But when new, conflicting evidence emerges in the case, they soon realize they’ve only scratched the surface of the mystery at hand.

Worm butts. BIMBO Mobiles. Mystery meatballs.

It’s enough to make someone break out in hives!

Complicating matters, Grayson finally gets word on his Mothman scat samples—escalating their problems excrementally.

This time, it looks like these two have truly stepped in it—big time.

Scatman Dues is book six in the Freaky Florida Mystery Adventures Series.

Hook, Lie, and Sinker.
When a string of idiotic decisions lands Bobbie in a boatload of trouble, she’s got to keep a lid on her temper before she winds up on the next episode of Snapped!

With her cousin Earl’s hand in one pocket and partner Grayson picking the other, Bobbie’s cash is disappearing faster than banana pudding at a Baptist pot luck.

Oddly, so are the folks in the tiny fishing village of Astor, Florida.

Then again, it’s the middle of gator-hunting season. And with horrendous tales of a murderous beast trolling the riverbanks, just who’s the angler and who’s the bait is as blurry as swamp gas at midnight.

Bang Sticks. Dead-Eye Gravy. Limbic Pentameter.

Given the deadly school of suspects they’re forced to wade through, the mismatched trio will have to cast a pretty wide net to snag this monstrous culprit.

Will they be able to swallow their fears and tackle the mystery afloat? Or will they end up as the killer’s next catch of the day? This is one fishy case that could spell their final recipe for dis-Astor ...

Half Crocked is book eight in the Freaky Florida Mystery Adventures Series.
