Publisher's Synopsis
This edition collects books one and two of the Shady Holler series, The Nine Lives of Frank Tipton and Shady Holler Holidays. The Nine Lives of Frank Tipton, is a black humor version of the Cinderella story set deep in the redneck south. Think My Name is Earl with a female lead and a lot of dead bodies. Think Raising Hope but with no baby or meemaw. Think True Blood, but without the vampires, hotties, or hunks. It's complete with revenge, murder, mentally-challenged kids, and a love story. Audrey Peters is a hard working girl from a small backwater town in Virginia. Having never been lucky at love, she finally meets the man of her dreams, Frank Tipton, a hardworking city sanitation worker who is very proud of his job. Following a whirlwind romance she moves in with Frank into his modified motor home in Shady Holler Trailer Park, a mobile mansion, if you will. Within just a few short months, Audrey realizes Frank was not the man she fell in love with. A new girl comes on the scene and captures his attention. Jealousy rears it's ugly head, and Audrey will make Frank pay. Audrey decides to kill Frank, but how can you kill your boyfriend when his friends keep getting in the way? Frank always said he had nine lives and she is starting to believe it. As she accidentally kills many of his friends in schemes meant for him, Audrey gets more determined than ever to knock Frank off. Though Audrey is cold-blooded killer, you'll find yourself laughing, loving, and even cheering her on. You'll even find yourself mourning Frank and his buddies at the dump.
