Hetta Coffey is a sassy, redhaired Texan with a snazzy 45-yacht, and she’s not afraid to use it. She’s managed, during her first four books, to navigate the Pacific Ocean down to Mexico, and now she’s in the Sea of Cortez.

Pushing forty and single, she’s worked worldwide and left a swath of failed romantic failures in her wake. As self-employed engineer with a penchant for off-beat projects that sometimes border on questionable, she’s finally landed a job that looks easy as pie, and promises to keep her out of trouble until her long-distance boyfriend can join her on the boat. To those who know Hetta, however, it comes as no surprise that this project quickly becomes the pits.

Hired for a mining project in Baja California, her job is to be on the lookout for “anomalies” causing large cost overruns, it doesn’t take her long to discover that people are disappearing faster than pesos.

What genre is this book?
Humorous mystery

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
My readers are all ages, all walks of life. Hetta appeals to men because she has a boat, and women because she has the guts to drive it. She’s also the kind of friend you might love to have if you can take the heat.

If you like snarky women with an independent streak and an adventurous spirit, you’ll love my book.

She sounds quite amazing.
Hetta has a tough façade, earned from working in a “man’s” world and from being perpetually single. She scares the living daylights out of most men, but now she’s finally met Jenks Jenkins, who for some reason thinks she’s great. Well, if she could just stay out of trouble until he finishes up an assignment in the Middle East. But Hetta is also fiercely loyal to her friends, generous to a fault with those she loves, and has a soft heart where dogs are concerned. So heck, she can’t be all bad!

Tell us about the series.
The series all start with Just… . In book one, Just Add Water, Hetta figures if she buys a boat she can finally land a man.

This is #5, so I would suggest 1 through 4 if you like to read a series in order.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I was a single woman with a yacht, and not afraid to use it, when I met my husband at a yacht club. After we married we sailed to Mexico and that is where I began to write.
