Book Description

WHISKEY REBELLION: AN ADDISON HOLMES MYSTERY

My name is Addison Holmes, and I teach history at James Madison High School in Whiskey Bayou, Georgia. You might be under the assumption that my life went to the dogs when my fiancé left me at the altar for the home economics teacher, or when I got notice that my apartment building was going to be condemned, or even when I was desperate enough to strip to my unmentionables to earn some extra cash. The truth is that I'm pretty much used to disasters following me around on a daily basis, but I could have gone without finding my principal dead in the parking lot of a seedy gentlemen's club.

After the initial shock of finding my first dead body, which included throwing back shots of Jack Daniels like it was water, I decided to take stock of my life. I was in a desperate situation and if the school board ever found out I'd been a stripper, even a bad stripper, I'd be jobless as well as fiancé-less and homeless. Fortunately, I had a friend who felt sorry enough for me to give me a job doing some surveillance work at her detective agency. Not to mention the fact that I was now able to stick my nose into other people's business for a good cause, find a murderer, and pick up helpful tips from an incredibly attractive detective.

Come check out my story and be thankful your life is relatively normal.

About the Author

Liliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis, so she finally decided to hang up her hat and let someone else have all the fun. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts). Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller--a dazzling adventure--where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex. Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America. Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously, just read it already October 25, 2011
Format:Paperback
Let me sum up the reviews for you: It's witty and clever. It's gripping and suspenseful. There's a bit of romance if that's your thing. There is literally something for everyone. Even the most casual reader will find a reason to keep the pages turning. Good stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Read November 7, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Addison is a delight. Ms. Hart has constructed a well-developed plot with enough twists to keep me reading long past bedtime. I'll be looking for more books in this series as I'm especially interested in how Addison is going to grow as a character.

25 THINGS ABOUT ME!


1.) I have a Coke first thing every morning instead of coffee.

2.) I try to read at least one book a day (when I'm not on deadline), sometimes two or three if I have the itch. Reading is one of my greatest pleasures.

3.) I decided to be a writer my freshman year of college. Which, of course, is why I majored in music and art history.

4.) My husband is my best friend. I never get tired of hanging out with him.

5.) I started writing my first book when I was eighteen. It was about a 30-year-old virgin assassin. Yes, you read that right. It's buried in the far corner of my closet.

6.) I didn't complete my first book until I was twenty-five, but I've written nineteen books since then. I'm 32.

7.) I love being a writer. It gives me an excuse to think about different ways to kill people and to take weird vacations for the tax deductions.

8.) I could eat macaroni and cheese every day. I love it! But my hips do not.

9.) I'm very slow to make new friends. I'm a pretty solitary person, so when you see me at booksignings and conventions, I'm completely out of my comfort zone, which is why it's so nice when I have readers come up and talk to me like they already know me. It puts me at ease.

10.) I have four children. Two girls and two boys, various ages. My house is a zoo. It's a miracle I ever get one word on the page.

11.) I met my husband when I was 14. We were high school sweethearts.

12.) I love to travel. I'm perfectly content to wake up on random mornings and say, "Let's go here today." In fact, I do that frequently. There are still so many places I'd love to see. We went to Costa Rica this summer and Scotland is in the cards for next summer.

13.) I spent a summer in Ireland when I was in college with a random family I'd never met or spoken to before. It was one of the bravest and most adventurous things I've done. A great experience.

14.) I hated high school. If I could go back and do it over I'd try to graduate early and get the heck out of there.

15.) I've gotten pregnant twice while on birth control pills.

16.) I performed at Carnegie Hall when I was in college, and toured Europe with a percussion ensemble one summer.

17.) I spent four years in college majoring in Percussion. It is now completely useless since I'm writing books full time, but it does give me an advantage when playing Rock Band.

18.) I'm addicted to gaming. When I take vacation, a good part of the time goes to Dragon Age.

19.) The cleanest place I've ever been is Switzerland.

20.) I eloped in Las Vegas and don't regret one minute of it. We've been married 12 years.

21.) Purple is my favorite color. Go Frogs! (TCU alum)

22.) I love a good mystery.

23.) I've had impacted wisdom teeth for years, but I can't seem to stop getting pregnant long enough to get them taken out.

24.) The Keurig is the best invention known to man. I love my English breakfast tea.

25.) I like to sit down in the shower. I'll often stick my Kindle in a plastic bag and read in there for an hour.
