To apprehend a terrorist set on detonating a nuclear weapon during an off-the-books summit between two warring nations being brokered by Vice President Lee Chiffray at his hilltop estate, Donna and Jack Craig play welcoming committee to Hilldale’s four newest neighbors:

• It could be Gibby Kimmler, who has decided to make Donna her BFF.
• Then there’s Stephanie Burkel. She may be nosy to a fault, but her own dirty little secret puts her high on Acme’s list.
• Or maybe it’s Kosma Kramer. Though she comes off as ditzy, her survival skills prove she’s also deadly.
• Then again, it may be D’Arcy Carsey, whose boundary issues go beyond borrowing the wrong kind of “sugar” from Jack.

As the minutes to the summit tick down, it's only a matter of time before Donna defaults to her Bad Neighbor Policy-"shoot first, and ask questions later."

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.”

SECRET LIVES OF HUSBANDS AND WIVES

"Josie Brown's writing is whip-smart as well as wickedly funny, and just as you are enjoying the ride she takes you on, she shatters your heart with her insight into modern lives." —Tatjana Soli, James Tait Black Memorial Prize author

THE BABY PLANNER

"Josie Brown takes baby mania to its illogical, hysterical extreme in this bubbly romp. But what begins as a light foray into Bugaboo country turns into something bigger than a satire of status-obsessed Bay Area yummy mummies as Brown takes a dark look at the fears of parenthood and family. Still, the message from the somber realities is one full of hope: love makes a family, commitment keeps it together." Publishers Weekly

HOLLYWOOD HUNK

"The tone is confessional, the writing laced with venomous humor…” The Wall Street Journal

THE CANDIDATE

"Political subterfuge of the highest order, Brown weaves a tailspin of a story that leaves you breathless, hungry for every last twist. They come fast and furious, and some of them are heartbreaking. The Candidate is a flawlessly developed story that will hold its own against the best of political thrillers." Barbara Convey, My Secret to Keep.

“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

If you love mysteries (dark comedy, especially) Women's Fiction verging on Rom-Com, or Historical Fiction, I'll gift you a book or two and cross my fingers that you'll sing their praises.
