The Real Estate Diva Mysteries Death Revokes the Offer Meet Allison Little – A Little Will Go A Long Way – Real Estate Diva, reluctant sleuth. “I am not a doctor, I do not live with winsome witty children. I am not a park ranger and I do not cut my hair with a nail scissors. And I do not know exactly why a body is dead, I only know that when you find a dead body in the kitchen, it makes it that much more difficult to sell the house, what with all the hysteria about full disclosure now–a-days.
Difficult, but not impossible.”
 “You’re a fine writer who obviously knows what you are doing.” Scott Thorn, editor of Babel Magazine. Time is of the Essence Claim Jump CA was founded on the principle of act first and suffer the consequences later. But sometimes sooner becomes the new later. Over building and over population results in disaster when a firestorm sweeps down the forest and into town. “I could just make out the car lights through the windows on either side of the front door, there was only one way off the mountain. I wondered if anyone considered that a problem? Stuck in traffic, no alternative routes. What a way to live. What a way to die.” “You are so funny. Your wit, wisdom and information are second to none.” Bud Gardner – Chicken Soup for the Writer’s Soul. In Good Faith When Allison Little, Real Estate Diva discovers a mauled body in a brand new listing, she sincerely hopes this won’t be about her. But the murder is about her: the murder threatens her clients, her best friend Carrie, and her almost boyfriend, Ben. Allison isn’t fond of the holidays in the best of years, but with tumbling home prices, tumbling bodies, suspicious non-profits and a headless ex-wife, she’s ready to pack it in for warmer climate and far fewer renditions of jingle bells. “I really should give up these million dollar homes and stick to first time buyers and condos, nothing happens in a condo, first time home buyers are too busy scraping together their down payment to create mayhem and murder. No, I take that back, I’m not that happy with condo buyers either.” To sell the house, Allison must find the killer, save her friend, and comfort her boyfriend. Who knew Black Friday could be so damn bloody? A 380 Degree View Everything is just fine. Allison’s sales are tracking at 0%, She is under 100% pressure from her boss to produce or be fired. She has a 50% commitment from her boyfriend with a 0% possibility of getting a ring. Her best friend on the other hand has a 100% commitment from her finance, but he’s suddenly taking 0% of her calls. So when Allison Little, Real Estate Diva, learns her grandmother is hobbling around on a broken foot and the illegal tenants are only helping 10% of the time, Allison drops 100% of everything and high tails up to Claim Jump because nothing (0%) ever happens in Claim Jump, except when she starts falling over acquaintances who are 100% dead. Poetry Ammonia Sunrise Catherine Bramkamp's poetry speaks to life as it is lived in 21st. Century America, with all its foibles, its grief and its comic twists. Readers will recognize themselves in their yearnings, their fears and in the absurdities of modern day culture. But they will come away somehow with a perspective grounded in hope and humour. This is a great read. "Life is so fuckin short Pass the desert We will eat that first."

Don’t Write Like You Talk “What I’m most concerned with is that when the economy finally picks up, workers all over the country will be ready for their promotion after years of very hard work. But they won’t shine if the last email written – and accidentally forwarded to the boss – reads: did U C the New guy? SOOOO hot!! Really, that kind of communication will not help this next generation of workers succeed.” Based on her experience as a college professor, Catharine Bramkamp advocates a new approach to writing like you talk: stop it. The Cheap Retreat Workbook Does the idea of a luxury writing retreat shine for you like a mirage, the kind of road shimmer you would experience on an hourly basis if you finally did sign up for the Taos retreat but had to drive there from Vancouver to save money? Join me on a considerably cheaper but no less effective writing retreat – right in your own living room. You’ve got a fabulous sense of humor, but your message is serious at the same time. All I need to do now is get my husband and son out of the way.
