When it comes to creating stories with offbeat humor and outrageous situations, Pauline Baird Jones is in a class by herself. A most excellent experience!" Jill Smith, Romantic Times; 4 Stars.

EPPIE 2001 Finalist; Romantic Suspense

First Book in the Lonesome Lawman Series!  Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Best Electronic Book of 1999!    "A highly suspenseful, should-be-a-movie, totally entertaining tale of derring-do..." Under the Covers
". . . a lively, sharply-written new cozy . . . that deserves attention." Dick Adler,
Dorothy Merlinn wants two things: to find who hired the hit on her father, Magus Merlinn; and an ordinary life. If she's not careful and very clever, she won't live to get either one. And then she falls in love....

His whole career, Remy Mistral has fought for reform in a state where corruption is an art form. Now is his chance to quit talking about reform and make his move to change the status quo, but two things stand in his way. One is a woman, the other a killer.
Second book in the Lonesome Lawman Series!  "Pauline Baird Jones really takes a bite out of crime with her dynamite romantic suspense BYTE ME. This amazing writer leads her readers on a wild ride through reality and virtual reality with covert operatives, Phagan and Pathfinder competing with the FBI and US Marshals to tackle the villains of the world. Ms. Jones is an ingenious talent and her books are truly a unique reading experience!" -Patricia Rouse, Romantic Times Columnist
Third and last book in the Lonesome Lawmen Series:   Missing You  In this last book in the Lonesome Lawmen series, Denver Homicide detective Luke Kirby tries to help a beautiful, mysterious woman remember her past before killers wipe out her future.
I'D NEVER HAVE gotten mixed up in the first murder if Mrs. Macphearson hadn't caught the flu, but I can't blame her for a capricious fate rolling the "Whose turn is it to be smitten?" dice and my name--Isabel Stanley--coming up.

   Isabel. Picture someone petite, fragile, done in soft pastels, lusciously formed and you'll know how I don't look. Most people find it less stressful to call me Stan, when faced with a reality that is tall, lots of leg, and colored in brown and paste...with crayon.

What happens when a twenty-first century woman on a mission to change the past meets a thoroughly 1940s man trying to stay alive in the hellish skies over war-torn Europe?

Melanie “Mel” Morton is an adventure reporter, who lost her grandfather in World War II. With no family left, she’s all about doing her job and finishing her grandfather’s biography.

Enter Jack Hamilton, sexy octogenarian, genius/scientist and former WWII bomber pilot.

What he tells Mel sends her on her craziest adventure yet—straight into the past to save her grandfather’s life and change Jack’s future--if she doesn't accidentally end it.

If you’ve seen any movies at all, then you know that adaptations are a film industry mainstay. Everything from the latest New York Times best seller to old classics is fair game for the savvy screenwriter. It used to be only NYT best sellers that made it to the big screen, but with the success of a slew of small, independent films, opportunities have opened up for mid-list and small press authors--most of who can't afford to pay a screenwriter to do the adaptation for them. If you've been approached by a producer, or just long to see if your story can make it to the big screen, this book tells you exactly what you need to know, including proper script format and how to protect your work when submitting.
Suspense novels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the big, multi-plot blockbusters to romantic suspense to small chillers. They came disguised as paranormals and science fiction, but there are certain elements that mark them as a suspense or thriller. Learn the secrets of writing good suspense and romantic suspense.
