Synopsis

Enter Laughing

Six straight men in the cast plus free Tex-Mex food? My friend Lida sure knew how to persuade me. I signed on the dotted line and dusted off my dance shoes. I knew Bad Business on the Brazos would have them rolling in the aisles and standing up to cheer, whichever came first. But I didn't expect the ghost problem. As in the ghost of Don Mueller, the actor who was killed during the last performance of this show fifty years ago. He's flirting with me in a spectral kind of way. . .and a ghost can make interesting things happen to a girl. Like the gorgeous man on stage with me: Rafe Montez, my secret crush--also known as He Whose Perfect Profile Should Be On A Coin. I'm talking six feet of chiseled yumminess here. Lida thinks Rafe is only acting, but that kiss we share in Act II sure feels real to me. As in earth-shaking, can't-breathe real. . .

Flo Fitzpatrick is a performer, teacher, and choreographer, with a BFA in dance and a masters degree in Drama. She first attempted to write a novel at the age of eight, but she was persuaded not to submit the piece by her brothers, who were skeptical that her characters could travel across the Atlantic from New York to London--by train. A transplanted Texan, Flow currently lives in New Jersey with her husband Ed and their two Border Collie wannabes, Lucy and Hawk.

Reviews

Kudos for Zebra's Debut line for new romance writers, and bravo for Fitzpatrick, who has written a delightfully humorous and innocent romantic mystery. Kiely Davlin knows she is setting herself up for trouble when she takes the job of choreographer and saloon slut in a revival performance of the melodrama Bad Business on the Brazos at a historic Dallas theater because Bad Business has always been cursed. Three members of the original cast, who performed 100 years ago, may have been murdered. The last performance, 50 years ago, resulted in the shooting death onstage of hunky and talented Don Mueller, who was playing the villain Nick Nefarious. With accidents, a near beheading of the leading man, visits from Don's ghost, and handsome Rafe Montez, who plays Nick, turning up in the darnedest places, it's obvious that everything that can go wrong will. Fitzpatrick has created some charmingly quirky characters and an effectively combined mystery plot with a "clean" happily-ever-after romance. Diana Tixier Herald
