    About this ebook

    Bertie is at it again. It starts when she wants a traffic light at a dangerous intersection. But because the purchase of an automatic traffic counter would cut into the city council's Christmas party fund, Bertie is forced to count each car personally and present a report. Then Bertie, in her inimitable fashion, gets into it with one of the council members. When he dies of a heart attack, she's accused of causing it. Goaded into running for the now-open position, an unlikely political career is launched. That's not all. She finds herself running against Booger Bailey, he of barking goat fame. That's going to be interesting. Who, for instance, is the mysterious donor financing his campaign? And then there's the two octogenarians who talk Bertie into backing them in a business venture: street vending their boiled peanuts. But what are they really up to? Seemingly insignificant events once again twist Bertie's life into a series of improbable, and hilarious, misadventures. Because Bertie is off and running.

    Dolores Wilson

    Dolores J. Wilson was born a coal miner's daughter in Morgantown, West Virginia. At age eleven, her family moved to Tampa, Florida. Quite a culture shock from that little coal mining town. Her writing background consisted of a neighborhood newspaper she and her cousin published at age twelve. It was full of neighborhood gossip. Thank goodness the cousins were too young to be sued for slander. In junior high school, she wrote a few articles for the school newsletter, mostly food articles. Hence, the seeds for her love of writing and food were planted. In Dolores’ first attempt at writing a novel, her hero was wimpy, her heroine was almost never in the story, and the actual writing left something to be desired. She had to do something. So began her journey of writing classes, RWA chapter meetings, and conferences. There she found an eclectic group who not only shared her passion for writing, but weren’t afraid to share the writing knowledge they had acquired along the way. Many years later, Dolores considers many of those writers as her best friends. Dolores lives in northeast Florida with her husband. Her adult children (except for one in California) and nine grandchildren live very close to her. She is the current President of Ancient City Romance Authors, St. Augustine, Florida. She is celebrating the re- release of her Bertie Byrd-Fortney / Big Hair trilogy by Salt Run Publishing LLC.
