GO SEE THE RAGAMUFFIN DIVA

...and buy her book!
.
My gifted author friend and fellow Swaziland traveler, Claudia Mair Burney, will be signing her newly released book this week. If you live in the Detroit/Ann Arbor, Michigan area, it will be SO worth your effort to go to this book signing. Mair's book is not only sassy and spiritually rich, but Mair is a bundle of grace and love. You'll be blessed by reading the book and talking to this up and coming writer. Plus, you'll bless her with your presence...and your cash. ;)

And if you go, make sure you give her a big ole kiss from me!

And if MY recommendation is not enough, here's what the review at BOOKPAGE had to say:
.
Sassy Saint.
.
All too often, the trouble with Christian fiction is the saccharine nature of the situations and characters, who seem to operate on The Good Folks Planet where a careful screen shields the delicate reader from the harsher aspects of life. Not so in Murder, Mayhem, and a Fine Man by Claudia Mair Burney, which is witty and earthy, vibrant and fast-paced, peopled with multidimensional characters. On her 35th birthday, Amanda Bell Brown is having dinner with her sister, the local medical examiner, when her sister is called to the scene of a suspicious death. Amanda, a forensic psychologist, tags along, unwittingly slamming into the intersection of the scattered pieces of her life—Christian, psychologist, woman, survivor of a dark past. On the scene of a double homicide, she meets Jazz, the tall, dark and delicious detective, and although immediate sparks fly between them, both have a commitment to God, and plenty of baggage. Their resolve to stay celibate is continually tested as the two work together to unravel a twisted plot centered on the murky world of cults. Original, richly textured and grounded in the real world, this is nonetheless a genuinely spiritual novel that tackles the gritty questions of faith and honor, hope and despair that any person on any spiritual path must eventually face. Excellent.
