HANGING CHADS

Book Description:

Physically and mentally abusive parents raise Maddy Sommers. Luckily, she has her beloved aunts and uncle to lean on, and their support builds her spirit and formulates her outlook on the world. Their love is not enough, however, to erase the torturous scars of her past.

Maddy grows up to loathe those that she considers bullies and takes it upon herself to right perceived wrongs. She exacts her brand of violent justice upon abusive mates who cross her path. Maddy manages to do so using both creative and messy methods while simultaneously seeking true love in her own awkward way.

Amidst vengeful bloodshed, Maddy's search for her personal prince is humorous and, at times, tragic. She is a romantically hopeful young woman who hides a deep, dark secret. Maddy is not to be crossed, but will her rage blind her when the right man comes along?

LINEAGE: HANGING CHADS BOOK II

Book Description:

Following a tumultuous lifetime of abuse, heartache, and violent bloodshed, 2023 was going to be Maddy Sommerses’ year. She was determined to leave behind her days of being a vigilante serial killer, for she had finally met her true love. Her soulmate. Her prince. She was literally and figuratively washing the vicious bullies’ blood from her hands and trading it in for a wedding ring and a lifetime of laughter and cuddling.

But she is forced to discard her plans for simple matrimonial bliss and return to her bloody and vengeful ways as family secrets reveal an all-too-real and maniacal threat. A threat to herself, to her family, to her country, and to the world.

As questions are answered, new questions are presented. What have her beloved Uncle Joe and Aunt Blair been up to for all these years? Who is this blonde nun who keeps following them around? Do hot dogs taste better being cooked over a burning corpse? What exactly is being served at the Halloween party? And, most mysteriously, what has her adoring husband been doing in the basement?

THIS IS AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM JOSIE PARKER!

Can you readers out there please help me? I am the daughter of Maddy Sommers and Erick Parker, and I have found out that my loving parents have some…um…idiosyncrasies. I mean, like, they're vigilante serial killers, and I just don't know what to think about that.

Sure, a lot of the people they are taking out are involved in an international autocratic movement that is trying to overthrow the world's great democracies, but isn't there a better way? A more peaceful way? And do they have to get my childhood friends involved in their maniacal carnage?

All I want to do is live a happy, peaceful life with my loving family and take care of the stray cats and dogs in my neighborhood without having to look over my shoulder. But I fear that destiny may be calling me to ascend to another, more violent purpose. I'm so conflicted. Can anybody out there help me figure this out?
