Debut author Toni McGee Causey wrote a fresh romp of a mystery that lives up to its title.  

BOBBIE FAYE’S VERY (very, very, very) BAD DAY, 2007, is the first release of her three-book contract with St. Martin’s.  If you’re looking for a humor fix, you’ll find it in Bobbi Faye.

Check out these examples and see how Toni McGee Causey has fun sharing fresh writing, nonverbal communication, and emotion in a way that’s consistent with her humorous down-home voice.

Who the hell would expect her to be nice anyway?  Lori-freaking-Ann that’s who.  Her pill-popping, wine-swigging lush of a little sister whose plastered-on Grace Kelly smile made her look efficient and serene, even when she wobbled into a wall and fell on her ass.

Read it out loud.  The cadence is perfect.  Plus, it carries a punch—and gives the reader a heck of an image of Lori Ann, and Bobbi Faye’s attitude about her sister. 

Here’s another sisterly line.  This one includes physical representation of emotion, or PINK, in my EDITS System.

That’s when she felt it:  that fire in the pit of her stomach, that knot of big-sister determination in her chest that had nearly gotten her killed more times than she could count.

Here’s the last excerpt, a facial expression with a power interpretation.

He’d never seen such a desperate expression in her eyes, not even the time she’d asked him to let Lori Ann go.  There was a wave of absolute primal fear vibrating off her, and he knew she was calculating her shot odds as soon as she’d heard the SWAT running toward her.

Toni McGee Causey treats the reader to a dynamite read.   BOBBIE FAYE’S VERY (very, very, very) BAD DAY is a mystery that will give your funky funny bone a workout.
