The Players 

The Private Detective

 

Jinx Curry is a private investigator and single mom who spends her days spying on cheating wives and husbands, but she aches for more importance.

When her boss, Capricorn Hayes, finally assigns Jinx a missing persons case involving a congressman's missing granddaughter, Jinx jumps at the chance. Not only to solve it, but to earn the fifty-thousand-dollar bonus that would pay her bills, and get a menacing creditor off her back.

But the investigation proves more dangerous and costly than Jinx believes. After an unknown individual in a black Corvette nearly runs Jinx down and begins stalking her, Jinx has to sacrifice her relationship with her daughter by sending Arielle to live with her father. Can Jinx find the congressman's granddaughter while surviving her stalker? Or will this job be her last?

 

The Players

 

Deebo: He’s the scintillating rapper who may be secretly married to the missing teen. A marriage revelation infringes on the rapper's rising-star status. Did Deebo off his wife to preserve record sales?

Bam: He’s Jinx’s childhood friend who loaned the sleuth a boatload of money. With Jinx unable to repay the loan, has Bam decided to make an example out of Jinx for lack of repayment?

Elena: She’s the missing person. Perhaps Elena doesn’t want to be found. Will she kill Jinx to prevent the sleuth from exposing her location?

Young Calloway: He's the Georgetown Law School dropout and only grandson of Congressman Calloway. After Jinx discovers the rivalry between Elena and Young Calloway, Jinx also uncovers Young Calloway's dark past. Has Young Calloway decided to eliminate Jinx to cover up his crimes?

Congressman Calloway: Up for re-election, the congressman cannot afford a family scandal. Did he hire Jinx to find Elena to coverup the young teen's possible murder? If so, has he decided to eliminate Jinx to clean up the family mess?

 

 

My Pre-Author Life

Prior to my author life, I’ve been through hell. I survived the continuous retaliation from two former employers who collaborated with each other to try and drive me crazy. After years of writing to my United States senators and prodding the EEOC to take me seriously even though I had not worked for one of my employers since 1997 and the other since 2009, the EEOC finally heard me. They issued me a Right To Sue Letter even though I hadn’t worked for either employer in years. 

I spent those years raising my daughter, Asia Lavay Lampley, a graduate of Wharton. She became a casualty in my fight against my employers for their retaliation against me affected her directly. Now I’m back on my feet after nearly completing my MA in English and Creative Writing with a concentration in Fiction. I knew, and they figured that I would someday write a book about what my employers did to me. How I suffered sexual harassment, hostile work environments and continuous retaliation even outside my home. Imagine being under 24/7 surveillance and trying to get someone to believe you. Imagine having your phone calls, emails and text messages eavesdropped on or intercepted. That’s been my life prior to my life as an author. 

Gaining credibility as an author of fiction became my single focus. Once I secured that, writing a memoir about my ordeal and promoting it would be easier than promoting it as an unknown author without a platform. I must defeat my employers with the written word and make it easier for women like me to defeat these large employers. Who are they? The state of Ohio and Mercy Hospital Partners. What I’d like for them to know? They did not break me. I have my dignity back. And I have my name. I intend to become a bestselling author and a champion for women being marginalized in the workplace.
