I am no blurbologist. However, when you live and breathe your own work for a few years, it's hard to turn it loose enough to let someone else come up with the right words to tout it for you. So I didn't. What can I say? I'm a diva, and no one knows Miss Lilly better than I do. So below is the blurb (i.e, back cover and promotional synopsis) for Home is Where Your Boots Are. Later this week, look for an in-depth interview with Lilly's best friend....
Small-town girl turned big-city lawyer, Lilly Atkins is both southern belle and rhinestone cowgirl, balancing sugar and steel with wit and grit. She traded her hometown for Dallas to earn a law degree and an old money fiancé. While her law career flourished, her relationship floundered and she finds herself the brunt of a bad cliché. So she hauls her bags and cheated heart back across the border to her hometown; Brooks, Oklahoma, where the creek is cool and the gossip is hot. Having grown up there, Lilly has always known Brooks is the kind of place where everyone knows whose check is good and whose husband isn’t. But when she comes back, she’s smacked with some down-home deceit. Lilly is suspicious and intrigued when her “bad-boy turned good” old-flame, Cash Stetson, wants to be her first client and the local funeral home director is her second.
It soon becomes apparent to Lilly that practicing law in Brooks is a lot more about being an undercover detective than a lawyer. As she and her childhood best friend, Fae Lynn, slowly unravel the seedy underbelly of Brooks and a black market body smuggling scandal, they must juggle old rumors, new hearsay and desecrated toenails.
