RaeAnne Hadley
I actually started out as a mechanic, yes, an automotive mechanic having over 30+ years experience and my associates degree in auto technology. I began writing my first story, Mechanics of Murder, after I had been fired for taking maternity leave. I took a 3rd shift job and trying to keep myself awake, I used my imagination and started creating a story of a female mechanic, which I was, finding a dead body underneath the truck she was working on. My father absolutely loved the story and encouraged me to complete it and get it published. I was almost finished with the first draft when my father had a stroke. Encouraging him to get better, I rushed the book to Lulu Publishing without it being edited. My father was able to hold my first novel but was never able to read it, he passed away 2 days later. But it began a passion for me that has not dwindled!
I have continued writing and my list has now grown. With Love; Now & Forever and Shadows, both paranormal romances though with different personalities and twists. The sequel to Mechanics of Murder, A Wrench in the Plan, was completed in January of 2011 and was released in the spring of 2012.I know my Dad would be proud. My contemporary romance, Love's Everlasting Song, is a sweet tale where hopes,dreams and occasionally fairy tales do come true.
I have 3 more novels in the works and plan on writing for many more years! I am very proud of my work so I use my real name, RaeAnne Hadley. My stories are not sexually graphic because I believe the use of your own imagination can be more romantic and more sensual than what I will put into words and I ALWAYS have to have a happy ending! Life is meant to be fun, enjoy the journey!!!

Mechanics of Murder
Mystery
NOTE TO MY READERS: This novel was written for my father when he was living with me. I had almost completed it when he had a stroke. I rushed to finish the book, encouraging him to get better so that he could go to my first book signing and see his daughter begin her new career. I normally have 3 different editors read my stories before it is released for publication but in my hurry to get the book to my father, I skipped that. He was able to hold Mechanics in his hands but never got the chance to read it. He died 2 days later. I have gone back to fix it but have found it too painful. I was able to correct some minor errors and extended this story but I know that the errors are too much for some people. I know my father would be proud and I hope you, the reader, will be able to enjoy the tale that was always finished in my heart.
Automotive mechanic, Josephine "Jo" Lingenfelter's life is turned upside down when she discovers a mangled body underneath the vehicle she is working on. The police have ruled it an accident but her mechanical instinct revs up when she notices inconsistencies in the report.
Steve Rafferty, Jo's boss, also has doubts about the accident and after someone tries to run them down, Jo and Steve are thrown into solving this mystery before it's too late. The closer Jo and Steve come to solving this crime, the closer Jo comes to losing her heart to Steve and uncovering the dirty secret that's been hiding under her nose in the sleeply little Colorado town.
