Today I am fortunate to welcome the delightful J.Q. Rose to my blog. I read and enjoyed J.Q.’s Sunshine Boulevard and look forward to reading Deadly Undertaking. For heaven’s sake, how clever is the name of the funeral home? Staab and Blood? Love it. Let’s learn more about J.Q. and her latest mystery.
About the book:
A handsome detective, a shadow man, and a murder victim kill Lauren’s plan for a simple life.
Lauren Staab knew there would be dead bodies around when she returned home. After all, her family is in the funeral business, Staab and Blood Funeral Home. Still, finding an extra body on the floor of the garage between the hearse and the flower car shocked her. Lauren’s plan to return to her hometown to help care for her mother and keep the books for the funeral home suddenly turns upside down in a struggle to prove she and her family are not guilty of murdering the man. But will the real killer return for her, her dad, her brother? Her mother’s secrets, a killer, a handsome policeman, and a shadow man muddle up her intention to have a simple life. Welcome home, Lauren!

Five Fun Facts About J.Q. Rose
- Fun fact. I like potato chips dipped in ketchup accompanied by a cold glass of chocolate milk.
- Fun fact. I kicked up my heels as a hobo from Hooverville in the chorus line of the community players production of Annie. So much fun and a dream fulfilled.
- Fun fact. I helped to build the ark. No, not THAT ark, silly. The ark is the centerpiece of the Ark Park, a playground for the community.
- Fun fact. In my bio photo, the red Mustang convertible was a surprise birthday gift from my hubby in 1995. Still drives like it’s new.
- Fun fact. My older brothers and I all played cornet/trumpet in the school band. They made sure to stand out on the front porch when I practiced at home so the neighbors could see they were not the ones tooting out those sour notes.
Again, thanks for being with us today, J.Q. We’re excited about your latest novel.
I’m at J.Q.’s blog today. Once you’ve read about Deadly Undertakings, hop on over to her blog and read about me.
I giggled at fruitful undertaking. Thanks for hosting me today. I love doing blog swaps.
You are so welcome. This was great fun.
Fun for me too. I think the pig smiled a lot today too!! wink wink

Okay, potato chips in ketchup doesn’t sound so good, but with chocolate milk…ewwww! Your book sounds fascinating, though!
Stephanie, come on…that is a culinary delight! And who doesn’t like chocolate milk??? Impossible!! LOL Thanks for stopping in.
What a fun post, JQ. My daughter has played one of the Hobos in the Hooverville scene of Annie, too. Really fun scene. So glad you got to do that. Now about the potato chips, catsup, and chocolate milk? Yee gods, woman. That’s a mess. I was okay about the catsup. But chocolate milk with that? No thanks. But made me laugh for sure. LOL I shared.
Huh? Wait, Marsha. Do you put ketchup on your French fries or hash browns? Same idea. Glad you laughed. though…!! Thanks for sharing.
Both Sunshine Boulevard and Deadly Undertakings are wonderful mysteries. Kudos to J.Q. Rose.
Wow! Thank you Susan. You rounded out my great weekend.
Stephanie, Marsha, and Susan,
Thanks so much for dropping in! I’m just about to dig into Deadly Undertaking … can’t wait.
And I agree that I may avoid snack time with J.Q.
P.S. Sorry for the delay in posting comments. I have to figure out a better way to avoid spam on this WordPress blog.
Kathy, I can’t believe you don’t agree on the potato chips and ketchup delight. What? You’re siding with the rest of my commenting friends here? I’m really outnumbered. Sigh. I’ll just munch alone, I guess. Had a great time visiting. Thank you.
