Dear Reader,
I’m very excited to announce that my fifth novel, The Tiara Club, is now available! As many of you know, I am now writing action/adventure under my pseudonym, Jacey Ford, while continuing to write humorous romantic fiction under my own name.
Summed up by Booklist as, “Funny and touching and full of wonderful characters, Brandt's inventive romance is as irresistible as a mint julep!”, The Tiara Club is my first comedy release this year. Two more are coming out in the fall—Match Game in October and “Nothing but the Truth” in The Naked Truth anthology with fellow authors Donna Kauffman, Alesia Holliday, and Erin McCarthy in November.
The Tiara Club, formed by best friends Georgia and Callie after a night of too many martinis, consists of veteran beauty queens who have survived the pageant circuit. The women, now in their thirties, grew up together, and have been there for each other through weddings, divorces, funerals, and a good portion of The Bartender's Black Book.
Now they have decided to broaden their scope, and allow a Yankee named Sierra to become part of the Tiara Club. In fact, the ladies are prepping Sierra—a virgin to the beauty pageant scene who’s never sprayed glue on her butt to keep her swimsuit from riding up or taped her breasts to create the illusion of cleavage—to become Ocean Sands' new Shrimp Queen. With Callie's impending marriage on the horizon, the Tiara Club has to rely on their friendship to get them through planning a wedding, turning a Yankee into a Southern beauty queen, and keeping Georgia's big secret from her controlling gossip-queen mama.
I invite you to read an excerpt of The Tiara Club, a charming novel about a group of friends and their struggle to keep an explosive secret out of the gossip mills that are at the center of a small Southern town!
Want to know how to make the same delicious caramel that Georgia’s attempting at the beginning of The Tiara Club—without the explosion?
