Author Note: *PLEASE READ* As many of you know, my heart and soul lie within the pages of the No Such Thing As... Brandy Alexander Mysteries. At the time I ended the series, I was ready (or so I thought) to move on. I even wrote an epilogue that put a cap on the "happily ever after" I felt my characters deserved. Well, it turns out I missed her more than I ever dreamed possible. I tried writing for other characters within Brandy's world, but it didn't give me nearly as much satisfaction. Brandy is a part of me, and I felt a tremendous loss by not giving voice to her anymore. So, I decided to write another installment (for my own satisfaction, and hopefully, for yours as well). Of course, I immediately ran into a problem. If you have read all the books, you know what happened in the epilogue of Smooth Sailing. The reasonable expectation is that I would continue on from there. But I have never been accused of being reasonable. If I were going to write another Brandy book, it would have to create in me the kind of excitement the other books did, and, starting from that particular point just didn't interest me. SO, in typical Brandy fashion, I decided to write my own rules and hope that my fans would forgive me, forget about the epilogue (it has since been removed) and the Alphonso book, and pick up where we left off at the end of No Such Thing As Smooth Sailing BEFORE the epilogue. The result of this endeavor is my new book, No Such Thing As A Thing Of The Past. Thank you all for letting Brandy (and me) into your busy lives. With much appreciation, Shelly Book Description: "He was 20 minutes late, and I was tempted to leave, having recently decided that the past should stay the hell out of the present." -- Brandy Alexander It's been two weeks since Nick and Brandy's engagement, and all seems right with the world, but this is Brandy's world, where the right things often take a wrong turn, get complicated, and occasionally, deadly. When Nick runs across an old girlfriend who's in trouble and needs his help, Brandy battles to keep her insecurity in check, as Nick risks his life to help her. Brandy understands loyalty to old friends, especially since she is still struggling with her own on-going issues with former love, Bobby DiCarlo, and he with her, something they both believed was a thing of the past. So, what does Brandy do to take her mind off the situation? Luckily, she doesn't have to look far to find the diversion she needs. Per usual, Brandy is in the wrong place at the right time when she takes her dogs on a run and discovers smoke pouring out of a house in a posh Philly neighborhood. Brandy rescues the occupant trapped inside, only to discover he was the leader of a white supremacist organization. What started out as an "accidental" house fire turns into a classic whodunit, when the man dies, and evidence points to murder. Things are further complicated by the reappearance of Luca, a young friend from Brandy's past, who is now also a member of that same organization. Brandy's affection for the boy she used to babysit is tested as she tries to show him the error of his misguided ways. Between Brandy's love life and her obsessive need to right every wrong, she really has her hands full. And as she, Nick, and Bobby grapple with the baggage of their own personal history, they discover there really is No Such Thing As A Thing Of The Past.
