Good morning, As I prepare for the Holiday Season I have been shopping for new and unique Gifts to share with you this year. So God is leading me towards more new books. As this morning I was sent another request to add a book to this year’s Holiday Gift Guide. Which I am excited about as I love giving books as Gifts.
This morning I have a question for you can you “guess who’s joined our Holiday Gift Guide? Megan Edwards. Megan Edwards is an author and has written a book called “Full Service Blonde”. Isn’t that the cutest title for a new book? I can’t wait till I receive my copy so I can sit down and read this new book.
Now, before I share the press release with you I would like to remind you that I will receive a copy of Megan’s book “Full Service Blonde” in exchange for a spot in this year’s Christmas Gift Guide. Although the thoughts in this review will be all mine and my friends and family. No, one else.

I wanted to reach out to put a book on your radar that would make for the perfect gift for any book lover, Vegas goer, or murder-mystery fanatic: Full Service Blonde [out November 7, Imbrifex Books], the prequel to the successful Las Vegas comical mystery debut Getting Off on Frank Sinatra, by Megan Edwards.
A working girl is found dead in the desert. Can a calendar girl uncover the truth?
It’s Christmastime in Sin City when aspiring journalist Copper Black meets Victoria McKimber, an outspoken prostitute at one of Nevada’s legal brothels. She’s offered Copper the exclusive right to tell her story. Not only will the Las Vegas Light’s “calendar girl” get a byline, but she can also impress her boyfriend and parents when they arrive for the holidays.
Copper is busy with work, Christmas shopping, and fantasizing about a whole week with her boyfriend, whom she hasn’t seen in six months. She’s also helping her brother, a civic-minded pastor who is spearheading plans for a new center to serve the homeless. Things are hectic but under control when shocking news breaks. Victoria McKimber has been found dead in a muddy ditch on the outskirts of town.
As she investigates Victoria’s violent death, Copper puts her own life in jeopardy and discovers that her brother is the target of a sinister plot. As Christmas and the new year approach, Copper searches for answers, evades enemies, and races against time to save her brother. And unless she can expose the truth about Victoria McKimber, somebody just might get away with murder.
Full Service Blonde, the prequel to Megan Edwards’ GETTING OFF ON FRANK SINATRA is now available for pre-publication sales orders at these fine retailers. It will be in bookstores and available online wherever books are sold on November 7, 2017.

Getting off on Frank Sinatra: A Copper Black Mystery
by Megan Edwards
A scorching Las Vegas summer is about to get even hotter.
Aspiring journalist Copper Black has just found out that her boyfriend is responsible for his not-quite-ex-wife’s pregnancy. An unexpected house-sitting job at a notorious Las Vegas “party house” should provide not only a pool with a swim-up bar but also much-needed distraction.
While researching a story about an exclusive private school, Copper accidentally discovers the dead body of the school’s beloved founder. Now involved in a high-profile murder investigation, Copper turns to her brother, a civic-minded pastor who is overseeing the construction of a center for the homeless. A Paiute medicine man claims the site is a sacred burial ground, attracting hordes of protesters.
As she tries to solve the murder, help her brother, advance her career, and sort out her love life, Copper stirs up a world of trouble. Her escapades as she evades a sociopath, a disturbed cowgirl, and a suspicious homicide detective make Megan Edwards’ rousing debut novel Getting Off on Frank Sinatra a nonstop roller coaster of a read.
I never once thought I’d ever call Las Vegas home, but here I am. My journey to southern Nevada began when a wildfire destroyed my house in the hills above Pasadena, California. All my stuff was gone, too, so it seemed like a convenient time to do something different for a while. My husband, dog, and I loaded ourselves into a motorhome and set forth on what we thought would be a six-month trip around the country. It morphed into a six-year odyssey all over North America. It ended in 1999 in the one place I never dreamed it would: Las Vegas, Nevada. I thought I was just here for a quick visit, but it turned out I was on a blind date with my new hometown. Las Vegas is not only a delightful place to live, it’s a great place to write.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
