Andi McConnell and her limousine are back!

After reading the first book in the Andi McConnell Mysteries series, Your Chariot Awaits, many readers have written to ask if there would be more books about Andi. So here she is, in Here Comes the Ride.

Christian Mysteries by Lorena McCourtney

Andi's new limousine service is humming along nicely, and now she has a five-day, live-in gig transporting the wedding party and Hollywood guests at what is being called "the wedding of the century." There’s the groom with cell phone welded to his ear. The bride who suspects she’ll be murdered at the ceremony. The over-the-hill, movie star stepmother with an ambitious agenda of her own, plus blackmail, betrayal, and enough hot hostility and competition to melt that life-sized ice sculpture of the bride and groom.

There is also murder..

Along with chasing down a killer, Andi is trying to figure out her relationship with God and testing the limits of her aging anatomy with a skateboard. Plus the complication of her relationship with Keegan “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, the guy who is living proof that some men really do age like fine wine.

Like most killers, this one objects to being brought to justice. Will Andi wind up with more bullet holes in her limo, or even in her?

CHRISTIAN FICTION

Searching For Stardust - Lorena McCourtney

SEARCHING FOR STARDUST, out of print for some time now, is now available on Kindle.

Jan Hilliard is on an isolated forest trail in the middle of nowhere for one reason only, to learn the truth about her son's death. Suicide, accident - or murder? The last person she expects - or wants - to encounter is the ex-husband whose fierce ambition and betrayal destroyed their marriage.

Jan wants nothing to do with Mark. Even as she realizes he's still interested in her, and, worse, realizes she also feels an unwanted tug of attraction for him, she's skeptical of his new Christian faith. Skeptical about God as well. But she realizes she needs his help and expertise to learn the truth about their son and reluctantly joins forces with him.

Their search takes an unexpected twist when a name leaps out of their son's journal. Stardust! Stardust, with lupine-blue eyes, mysterious as the journal itself. Who is she? Where is she? What does she know about their son's death? And can she be carrying Jan's only hope for a grandchild?

Yet when Stardust does burst into their lives, she brings fear as well as hope, and as many questions as answers. Questions about faith and love, the past and the future. And the ominous realization that Stardust holds a dangerous control over their lives and future.

Your Chariot Awaits


Your Chariot Awaits
Click here for an excerpt from the book

Downsized from her job.
Dumped by her boyfriend.
Depressed by her upcoming birthday.

It's been a bad week for Andi McConnell, and now, worst of all, is the Dead Body in her newly acquired limousine. Andi has never had any interest in being a sleuth, but, with her own name high on the list of suspects, she knows she'd better do something before the murder is pinned on her.

Enter Keegan "Fitz" Fitzpatrick, former TV detective, very interested in the case - and in Andi. As they work together to solve the crime, one big question becomes vitally important: are those windows in her limo really bulletproof?

YOUR CHARIOT AWAITS was named the Mystery "Book of the Year" by the American Christian Fiction Writers in 2008. It was also a finalist in the 2008 Daphne du Maurier Mystery/Suspense awards.

YOUR CHARIOT AWAITS is published by Thomas Nelson, ISBN-13 978-1-59554-270-3.

Deborah Khuanghlawn
Books, Movies and Chinese Food

"I tend to shy away from the mystery/suspense genre because I simply don't have the stomach for it. With Your Chariot Awaits, Lorena McCourtney has taken the concept of a murder mystery and created a clean, entertaining novel. . . I am looking forward to additional novels from McCourtney."

Patricia Wire

"If you're looking for a book with memorable characters and intrigue, this book will not disappoint. I give Your Chariot Awaits a thumbs up. I think Lorena McCourtney is one of the best suspense writers out there."

Jenny
My Buckling Bookshelf

"Though Andi is older than many protagonists in today's fiction market, McCourtney writes in a way that all generations of readers can relate to her. She's spunky, vulnerable, and shares the same fears we all deal with everyday. . . So if you're looking for a well written cozy mystery, one that makes you laugh and smile, pick up McCourtney's Your Chariot Awaits. You won't be disappointed."
