That's the plot of this highly entertaining novel that can best be summed up as, don't get mad, get even!

A month later she called to offer Kathy a hardcover contract. Martin's Press, visiting relatives in nearby Beaufort, was introduced to the Bay Tanner mysteries. A reprint of both books had to be ordered within six weeks. Its success led to an offer from a small, regional publisher who reissued the first novel along with its sequel, And Not a Penny More, on Valentine's Day of 2002. She self-published her first Bay Tanner mystery, In For a Penny, in 2001 using the innovative print-on-demand technology. Her road to publishing success has taken many twists and turns. In 1994 she and her husband Norman retired to Hilton Head, South Carolina.

For twenty-five years she practiced her profession as an accountant in both public and private practice. She grew up in a small town in northeastern Ohio and attended college in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Kathy wrote her first story at the age of six, then decided to take a few decades off.
