I've been writing since I was ten years old, and I always wanted to become a writer. Instead, God led me to become a schoolteacher. During my 30-year career as a high school teacher/administrator, I raised two children and wrote articles and stories for professional publications. After I retired, I wanted to write novels, and I wrote two, but then my husband fell ill with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and caring for him was my priority until he passed away. I wrote another novel to complete The Keeper Trilogy and also took up glamping with a ladies-only camping group. My experiences purchasing and towing a little vintage camper and participating in the activities of the camping club led me to write Just Dying to Glamp, the story of a widow who buys a vintage camper, joins a ladies’ camping group, and brings her spunky little Boston terrier on campouts with her. To add excitement and to fulfill the guidelines of the Underground Authors’ Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series, I made Mamie an amateur sleuth who investigates murder at the RV park. There are over forty books by over twelve authors in the series, and I was blessed and honored to be asked to join their group. Murder, She Glamped is my second mystery novel using the same characters and setting. I live in East Texas with my dog Stella, and enjoy spending time with my grandkids most of all.

Just Dying to Glamp by April Nunn Coker is a thriller with a difference. After losing her husband, Mamie West decided she needed to get on with her life. Buying a vintage camper, she sets off on a glamping trip to Magnolia Bluff with the Gals Gone Glamping group, but her first trip doesn’t go quite as planned when one of the women is murdered. A cryptic note leads Mamie to investigate—after all, she doesn’t want to be the next victim. With Babs, her Boston Terrier, along for the ride, Mamie comes under the watchful eye of Nick Vandegan, a police officer in Magnolia Bluff. Can Mamie find the culprit before more campers lose their lives?
Just Dying to Glamp by April Nunn Coker is part of the long-running Magnolia Bluff series. This is packed with everything you need in a crime thriller—murder, romance, and a few secrets waiting to be uncovered. With plenty of twists and turns, this book will keep you on your toes; it's an easy read that holds your interest all the way through. You’ll find the characters very easy to like, even if you’ve not read any of the earlier books. That said, reading the entire series does give you a better insight into who they are, but this could easily be treated as a standalone story. Every character has their own strong personality, and they are all likable and relatable. With a bit of humor peppered throughout, this is the perfect read for a rainy afternoon, a wonderful way to while away a few hours by stepping into someone else’s life.
