Another Great Blurb for THREE BLONDE MICE!

April 15, 2016

Three Blonde Mice

As the August 2nd pub date approaches for my new novel, it’s very exciting to have early praise from my fellow authors. I don’t consider myself a mystery writer in the true sense of the term, but I do have a whodunit in Three Blonde Mice as well as in some of my other novels. For that reason, it’s a huge honor to hear from bona fide mystery writers like Elaine Viets (see the previous post) and now Melodie Johnson Howe. Melodie’s books are set in Hollywood, a territory she knows well, having been an actress like her feisty heroine, Diana Poole. I especially enjoyed her last mystery, City of Mirrors, in which Diana discovers the dead body of a certain leading lady and finds herself thrust into the murder investigation. Here’s what Melodie had to say about Three Blonde Mice:

I love Jane Heller’s quirky off-kilter novels! In Three Blonde Mice, Heller and her keen-eyed wit cook up a wonderful satire on chic cooking classes, farm-to-table food groupies and chefs with the egos of rock stars. She dissects love – and conjures up a murder plot – with the sharpness of a paring knife. I enjoyed every delicious moment.

Call me thrilled!

My Friend Melodie Is Hot – Then and Now

January 31, 2013

It’s always fun when something good happens to people you care about, and my pal Melodie Johnson Howe has not only launched the ebook publications of her award-winning mystery novels and a short story collection, but she’s the subject of a new promotional video too – all ahead of the summer publication of her latest mystery, City of Mirrors. The video went up on YouTube today and it’s totally worth a look. We get to see clips from Melodie’s career as a young Hollywood blonde co-starring with the likes of Clint Eastwood as well as her thoughts about being a mystery writer whose backdrop is Hollywood.

For those who want to write, say they want to write, dream of being able to write, Melodie is your role model. She walked out on show biz, studied the craft of writing and put in the time – all while raising a family. No excuses, people.
