Pauline loves the idea of a teeming city and has some characters who like city living, but at heart she is a novel-writing hermit. She has even more reason to keep her head down. She’s released novel #13 (pause for creepy music here), Relatively Risky, which is on sale everywhere she could find, with the print edition due out in May. For more information please pop over to her website at paulinebjones.com. Or grab it now at Amazon or B&N. For other vendors pop over to her website.

When an aspiring illustrator attracts the attention of a New Orleans mob family, and secrets long hidden are unearthed from the past, a handsome homicide detective may be her only chance of surviving the Big Easy.
