Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ ABOUT THE VALENTINE MYSTERIES

ARE THESE COZY MYSTERIES?

The Valentine mysteries have many elements seen in cozy mysteries; amateur sleuths, small down, etc. They are light with no graphic violence. Think Nick and Nora Charles or Jonathan and Jennifer Hart.

But the books break the no-intimate-bits rule. Tess and Jack love each other and sometimes they show that love in a physical manner. 

IS THERE SEX?

Yes, there are explicit sexy bits with a heat level of  3.5 to 4 on a 5-scale. They’re not as spicy as some books, but are explicit. 

IS THERE SWEARING OR COARSE LANGUAGE?

Not really. Any swearing is mild. You won't find f-bombs or coarse language. 

SHOULD I READ THE BOOKS IN ORDER?

Jack and Tess’ relationship evolves starting in book one, Deadly Valentine, through the series. However each mystery in the book is unique and stands alone. There are no cliffhangers in any of the books. If you'd like to read from the beginning, you can see the list of the book order here.

WHY CAN'T I BUY DEAD BUT NOT FORGOTTEN HERE?

Dead But Not Forgotten is the 7th book in the Valentine series. It was a crossover into Susan Stoker's Operation Alpha world, and published by Susan's publishing company, Aces Press. Since Aces Press holds the rights to the book, I'm unable to sell it directly. However, Dead But Not Forgotten is available through Amazon in print and ebook (KU).

WILL FUTURE BOOKS BE SOLD DIRECT AND CAN I READ THEM IF I HAVEN'T READ DEAD BUT NOT FORGOTTEN?

Yes. At this stage in Jack and Tess' relationship, you're not going to miss anything by reading out of order or skipping (book 5 and beyond). With that said, I'm very proud of Dead But Not Forgotten, and it covers a mystery from Jack's childhood that is hinted at in earlier books, so I'd love it if you'd read it. 

Future books are planned, and will be sold by me here, as well as being available at other retailers (although you'll get the best deal here!)
