About the Book

Mama's fixin' to marry husband number five. But before she does, she convinces daughter Mace to saddle up for some country-gal bonding on the Florida Cracker Trail. The six-day ride is going fine until wealthy rancher Lawton Bramble keels over in his Cow Hunter Chili. A one-time beau of Mama's, Lawton Bramble had a bad ticker and tons of enemies. Mace has her doubts about natural causes, along with a long list of suspects who might have 'spiced' the cattleman's chili. Mace's worried sisters Maddie and Marty join the ride, as does her sexy ex-beau, Detective Carlos Martinez. With - or despite - their help, Mace is determined to corral this killer.

About the Author :
Like the main character in her "Mace Bauer Mysteries, '' her family roots were set in Florida long before Disney or Miami Vice. As a native and former reporter for USA Today, she knows the spots not found on maps: Molasses Junction. Muse, and now, Himmarshee, her own tiny slice of "Authentic Florida.'' To create Himmarshee, Deborah borrowed from the present-day ranching town of Okeechobee, and from the south Florida of her family's past. Not far from Ft. Lauderdale, her dad used to walk to town, leading the family cow. A generation later, Deborah rode her horse over the same citrus- and ranch-dotted terrain. Now, it's all interstates and strip malls. The difference between Mace's hometown and hers: Deborah will never let Himmarshee be spoiled by sprawl. The News-Press in Fort Myers gave Deborah her first job, in 1982. Her favorite assignment: getting cast as a zombie when Day of the Dead filmed on Sanibel Island. Her fellow extras raved about her lurching. A News-Press bonus: she met TV reporter Kerry Sanders in Immokalee, both of them shivering at dawn to see whether a winter freeze would ruin the green pepper crop. They've been married since 1989. No kids; no pets, but had goldfish once. Turned out badly--not a good omen for higher life forms. When they moved back to Deborah's hometown in 1991, the occasional stories she'd been writing for USA Today became a flood. Miami's loony nature gives it a lock on headlines. And then, 9/11, and everything changed. One of her last assignments before she left the paper was profiling soldiers killed in war. Grieving parents; spouses; kids. She couldn't absorb all that sadness anymore. So, at age fifty, fiction-writing beckoned. She'd get to determine the endings. Punish the bad and reward the good. And, she'd throw in some romance, too. She likes writing about Mama because the character makes her laugh. And doesn't everyone need a smile now and then?

Review :
"An amusingly wild ride through parts of Florida tourists rarely visit.--Kirkus Reviews "Sharp writes a funny mystery without resorting to stereotypical one-note characters. Furthermore, her descriptions of a part of Florida most of us know little about add to the appeal of this entertaining mystery."--Booklist "A fun, easy read that captures the ambience of a long-distance trail ride. It's a southern-fried whodunit, sort of Agatha Christie meets My Name is Earl on horseback."--Trail Rider Magazine "Sharp delivers a wide swath of humor and a keen sense of Florida's history and present. Mama Rides Shotgun entertains as it showcases a part of Florida that quickly is disappearing."--Oline H. Cogdill, South Florida Sun-Sentinel "The characterization is outstanding and the family relationships are a hoot! Can't wait for the next installment!"--Fresh Fiction "Although she resolves the mystery with skill, it is the uproarious fun of the nonstop yet affectionate bickering between Mace and Mama that allows Mama Rides Shotgun to win the reader's heart."--Naples Florida Weekly "Mama Rides Shotgun is a delightful ride and a good read."--Prudy Taylor Board, Boca Raton News "Deborah Sharp hasn't lost her touch with developing interesting characters and her writing is as funny and "sharp" as ever."mdash;Mystery News & Cozy Library "With the humor put into the story, it keeps it from becoming too dark. It makes the book a relaxing and funny read. I enjoyed taking a trip on the Cracker Trail."--Once Upon A Romance
