When Violet Got Bored

Available on Amazon Ebook. Free to Kindle Unlimited readers!

This book has it all–murder, mystery, mayhem, magic, intrigue, love triangles, the good guy, the bad guy, the worse guy, philosophy, history, gassy dogs and judgmental cats! Sort of a Stephanie Plum meets Harry Potter meets Miraculous Ladybug tale… While at times serious in nature, this easily digestible novel is character-driven with a lot of heart, a lot of emotion, a lot of fun, silly dialogue, recipes, and pop culture references galore.

Premise:

What happens when a mid-thirties female in suburban Atlanta realizes she’s bored? An acquaintance gets murdered, ominous men enter her life, and she starts to hunt for ‘Scouts’…because if she doesn’t, they might kill her, or worse: use her as The Weapon. Add in a putrid pug named Phang, a cat with a watchful eye named Barnaby, endearing female friends and two ridiculously magnetic brothers she finds herself sandwiched between, well, you’ll find out what happens When Violet Got Bored.

REVIEWS

A mystical adventure full of humor and poignancy.

Reviewed in Canada on June 20, 2023

“I quite enjoyed the first person, this is a day in my life, narrative that is present at the beginning, and progresses to, this is the day of my life, as the story moves along.

Prepare to be guided through Violet’s mystical adventure with copious amounts of humor and poignancy, adroitly crafted into a captivating read.

The plot is interwoven with references to a number of well-known literatures. Another plus is that you can flip to the back pages for an explanation of subject matter covered in the book, including types of yoga, runes, and even a breathing exercise.”

  • When Violet Ran Away | Book Two

Early excerpt included at the end of When Violet Got Bored.

Follow Violet as she comes to terms with the decision she must make about the future, as well as the repercussions for her actions. Still humorous, but tonally different than the first novel.
