When a film director’s obsession with a sex phone operator threatens his latest production — and his marriage — his talent agent thinks he knows how to handle the situation: buy off the woman with “the voice that launched a thousand erections.”

​

Instead, he falls in love with her.

​

But how will he feel when he discovers that she is the wife of his hot new client?

“With tongue-in-cheek dialogue, Josie Brown provides a fascinating look at the jet-set lifestyle of the rich and for-the-moment famous. You will laugh, cry, and wonder if it's worth it to be rich and famous.”

Donna Stone Craig must go under deep cover to stop a cabal of Russian operatives embedded in Congress and the White House whose playbook is to assassinate two presidential candidates, isolate the U.S. from its allies, and propel the world’s economy into a free fall—

Even if it means sacrificing her life for her country and those she loves most.

The success of her mission also has dire consequences. It sets into motion the terrorists' final solution: the annihilation of the world as we know it.

"The last book that made me laugh: 

The Housewife Assassin's Handbook. 

I taught it in a class about comic novels."

—Jane Smiley, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author

"Brown writes the kind of feminist action plot that men should be reading, especially male authors, to cure that trope of "vapid sexy girl with a gun." — Amber Love

"I am sure many of those whose spy-oriented online company I keep wonder about me sometimes. On many days I will join in deep discussions about the works of Le Carré, Deighton, Greene, Ambler, and Forsyth. And then I take incredible delight in The Housewife Assassin series. Just the name would likely cause eyebrows to be raised and likely my stature as an 'expert' falls a bit. Too bad! I read for enjoyment. I hope you do as well because I want more adventures." — Randall Masteller, Spy Guys + Gals

8 Episodic MomCom Novels

 Four candidates vying for the remaining four slots have a secret that would knock them out of the running of San Francisco's Pacific Heights Moms & Tots Club: 

• Jade is a former stripper and porn actress, who has been absent for most of her son's life.
• Jillian's husband cleaned out their joint accounts and left her for his pregnant assistant.
• Ally never even had a husband–just a sperm donor–and she's hiding a high-ranking corporate job.
• And Lorna fears that her son may have special needs—just the excuse her sister-in-law, Bettina, needs to deny her entry to the club. 

Can these hopeful moms keep up appearances long enough to outlast the competition? Or will their chances–and their private lives–go up in flames?

“I love a good mommy sendup as much as the next gal, and this peek into the ridiculousness of the San Francisco upper crust is delightful. Brown's tale is as charming as it is cringe-worthy. I laughed, I winced, I kept scrolling.” —Romantic Times

“With affairs, pending divorces, secret jobs, and unsavory pasts, each wannabe member hides something that could blow her chances for good. Laugh-out-loud funny and sometimes touching, the Totlandia novels serve as the perfect quick read for busy moms or anyone looking to escape with some gossipy fun.” —Examiner.com

“Josie Brown writes Totlandia with her usual storytelling flair. The dialogue is smooth and flowing. The characters are easy to side with or become angry with. The scenery is easy to visualize. And we mustn't forget all the sex (blushworthy, at that) and scandal that is a staple of a true Josie Brown novel. It's like a soap opera for mommies. Guilty pleasure, anyone?” —Melissa Amster, ChickLitCentral.com

“This book is wonderfully written and has more than just drama. There are touching moments, parts that made me laugh out loud, I felt like I was reading a television show!” —Divine Secrets of a Domestic Goddess
