Praise for the SCOTTSDALE SERIES “A great chick lit mystery with plenty of humor. I just love a strong female lead who gets herself into crazy situations only to have a hot guy come to her rescue. This is a must read.” - Katie M., Book Reviewer "This is a fun easy read. The characters have quirky and fun attitudes. I just don't think you will be disappointed." -Lori, Book Reviewer. "A mystery with lots of humor mixed in. I would definitely recommend the Laura Black series." - Amazon Book Reviewer “A cross between Janet Evanovich/Stephanie Bond style tales and the older Private Eye books written by authors such as John D. McDonald.” -DOC, Book Reviewer "If Janet Evanovich had Robert B Parker's love child, you would end up with Laura Black.

I'm thrilled to announce that Kristy Piper, our favorite Scottsdale wedding planner, has taken up residence in Aloha Lagoon! After the crazy events of Scottsdale Silence, Kristy has finally achieved her lifelong dream of moving to paradise. She took a job in Hawaii as the Aloha Lagoon resort wedding planner on the gorgeous island of Kauai. Sun, surf, sandy beaches, and glowing brides...what could possibly go wrong? Turns out, everything. Want to know more? Check out Hula Homicide, the latest book in the Aloha Lagoon Mystery Series. This series is written by several bestselling authors, including Leslie Langtry, Beth Prentice, and Cathern Bruns. Each is a complete stand-alone novel, or you can read them one after the other. As for me, halfway through a successful career in technical writing, marketing, and sales, along with having four beautiful children, I veered into fiction. For The Scottsdale Series, I tried to combine my love of the desert, derived from sixteen years of living in Arizona, with my appreciation of the modern romantic detective story. I hope you like the results! Thanks to all for the great comments and questions. As always, I'd love to hear from you. B A Trimmer LauraBlackScottsdale@gmail.com
