About the Author

REVIEWS FOR BOOKS BY JOSIE BROWN'S BOOKS

"The last book that made me laugh: The Housewife Assassin's Handbook. I taught it in a class about comic novels." —Jane Smiley, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author

"Brown takes a dark look at the fears of parenthood and family... Still, the message from the somber realities is one full of hope: love makes a family, commitment keeps it together." --Publishers Weekly

"The writing is laced with venomous humor..."-The Wall Street Journal

"A fine piece of literary work." -New York Post , Page Six

"If you like Desperate Housewives, then you'll fly through this gossipy novel full of Wisteria Lane-esque characters living in a suburban jungle. Brown entertains up to the satisfying ending." --Examiner.com

"A funny, engaging, and often bittersweet tale..." --Cincinnati Public Library Spotlight Feature

"I am sure many of those whose spy-oriented online company I keep may wonder about me sometimes. On many days I will join in deep discussions about the works of Le Carré, Deighton, Greene, Ambler, and Forsyth. And then I take incredible delight in a series like The Housewife Assassin. Just the name would likely cause eyebrows to be raised, and likely my stature as an 'expert' falls a bit. Too bad! I read for enjoyment. I especially love the fantastic twists on life and convention that Stone must go through to keep putting bad guys six feet under while making sure there is food on the table and the kids get to their activities on time. I take a lot of delight from them. I hope you do as well because I want more adventures." - Randall Masteller, Spy Guys + Gals

Editorial Reviews

This is a super sexy and fun read that you shouldn't miss! How do I love this book, let me count the ways: (1.) A kick ass woman that can literally kick ass as well as cook and clean. Donna gives a whole new meaning to "taking out the trash". (2.) The book is set around Los Angeles, full of housewives that could be 'real" and for the setting alone, a big giant WIN! (3.) Super sarcasm, snarky dialogue and making fun of all that is wrong in the OC, politics, as well as current world affairs.

if I was a housewife, I would want to be Donna. I'm not kidding, guys! The girl can shoot, seduce, and kill, all while balancing the demands of carpool and managing the suburban mommies and their opinion of her and her kids. The chemistry between the two of them is enough to set water on fire, Add in a healthy dose of humor and ridiculousness, some mayhem, and some really cute kids, and you've got a book that won't be putdown - so go pick it up now!

A fun, sexy and intriguing mystery. Donna Stone is a great heroine - housewives can lead all sorts of double lives, but as an assassin? Who would have seen that one coming? This book reminded me of the movie Mr & Mrs. Smith. Not that it is a copy of the movie, but that it has all of the thrills and enjoyment of the movie. It's a fast-paced read, the gadgets are awesome, The book doesn't take itself too seriously, which makes for the perfect combination of mystery and humour.

"Josie Brown writes books that have a bit of an adventure, that are never predictable and are always fun! Brown writes with balance, humor and danger; good versus bad; light and dark. Her Housewife Assassin Series is a fun, crazy and wild ride! You will remain interested throughout the novels and left craving more. I recommend the series and rate it 4 stars!"

Mommy Book Nerd Reviews - Emily Lewis

"Adorable is not usually the word that comes to mind with a title like The Housewife Assassin's Handbook, but it was just what I needed to pull me out of my reading doldrums. This book hits all the right notes. Granted, the book ended with a hook that made me want to immediately get the next one. I was excited to see that there are actually 11 books in the series (including a prequel). I'm completely smitten."
