New Release Target of Death

I have another new release to announce and this time around it's the first in a brand new series. Target of Death, A Cajun Cooking Mystery. Once again it's cozy mystery and it featured one of my actual readers as a main character. That was a hoot on many levels. This is also my strongest female leads yet. She's a kick butt type of a girl, but with someone who competes in archery tournaments you should expect no less. Introductory price $.99 thru March 3, 2014 as a way to thank my readers.

When Tammy Rodrigue, known as Louisiana Sassy on the archery circuit, rolled into Bear Paw, Michigan, for the archery competition, Tournament of Trouble, she never expected to be considered a suspect in a murder investigation. Sure, the victim was killed via an arrow through his heart with the same white and pink fletches (feathers) like Tammy uses, but she had just come to town. Not only that, but she was just pulled out of a ditch by a mysterious man wearing a ski mask. Most women might be frightened, but not Tammy. She’s tough as nails and not about to be intimidated by anyone, not even the local archery hot shot, Daniel Adams, who turned out to be the man under the mask.

Tammy and her tag-along friend, Dixie, slid their way into town amidst a snowstorm and took shelter at the local restaurant, Hidden Pass, run by a kind senior citizen, Margarita Hickey, who offers them a place to stay. As it were, Margarita was down on her luck and her business had gone on hard times. She’s impressed when Tammy spices up the chili she ordered with her own brand of spices that she always carries with her. It’s then that a plan is hatched, and Tammy and Dixie devise a way to help Margarita by creating Cajun recipes that Margarita could serve during the winter festival.

As Tammy and Dixie begin to poke into Sheriff Simon Price’s murder investigation, they discover there are more secrets in this town than what’s hiding out in the Bayou back home. Margarita, not one to be left out in the cold, tags along, too. The victim, Clayton Percy, has cheated on his wife and has been flashing cash all over town, but nobody seems to know why. Or are they keeping it a secret? Will Tammy and Dixie be able to solve this mystery in time before the Tournament of Trouble, or will Tammy finally miss her mark?

Agnes Barton makes a splash as a USA Today Bestseller

When I go back to the beginning of my writing career, I'd never have dreamt that any book I'd write would soar this high. Armed and Outrageous was first devised in 2010, but I never got around to finishing it until 2011 as I was writing a thriller at the time. That thriller never made the cut. I focused on Armed and Outrageous as it had the most potential. It was published May of 2012 and over a year later found it's way to the bestsellers list. While it never made it to the USA Today Bestsellers list until October of 2013, it has been an Amazon bestseller since June of 2013, where it remains today alongside all of the other books in the series, in both the cozy mystery and humor categories.

Funny thing was I never knew it made it to USA Today and was only told about it last Wednesday, but by Thursday, Grannies, Guns and Ghosts made the USA Today Bestsellers list at number 101.

If I can say anything about everything that's happened to me the last year, it's that dreams are possible. I have made them my reality.
