I recently learned that my fellow author Vicki Batman is recovering from a broken arm. Having shattered my own right humerus a few years ago, I have some idea what she's going through. On top of the pain and the inconvenience -- when you're an author, being unable to type feels like the end of the world.
There's not much I can do to help Vicki heal more quickly, but I thought I'd repost one of her blogs as a way of showing solidarity. Hey, a bit more publicity can't hurt!

Great job. What man? And murder.
Newly employed at Wedding Wonderland, Hattie Cooks is learning the industry from a woman she greatly admires. When her former brother-in-law is found dead in his luxury SUV, all fingers point to Hattie’s sister, who is planning her own I Dos.
Detective Allan Wellborn is caught between a rock and a hard place—Hattie’s family and investigating the murder of a well-connected Sommerville resident, the same loser who was once married to Hattie’s sister. Determining who’s the bad guy—or gal—isn’t going to be easy and sure to piss off someone.
Can Hattie beat the clock to find out who murdered Tracey’s ex before she is charged with the crime and her wedding is ruined?
Excerpt
“Failure’s not a choice. Try again, and if that doesn’t work, again. Are you a quitter?”
“No.” Until I resembled an idiot. I snagged the towel to wrap my torso, feeling indignation root in my tummy. Standing, I adjusted the ends under my armpits and maneuvered the curtain to one side to step over the rim. I opened the hall door. “If only his cell phone wouldn’t interrupt us.” I smiled. “He would probably like the binding part.”
With a grin, Jenny bounced her brows. “I hear police handcuffs are the way to go.”
I laughed. “Funny. What else did he want other than the ride offer?”
“Here.” She plucked my phone from the counter next to the toothpaste tube and a glass jar filled with cotton swabs. “Push one.”
I stared at my phone, utterly amazed. “You assigned a number…on speed dial…on my phone? Without telling me? When did you do this?”
Jenny shrugged. “Long time ago. Seemed prudent.”
