The

Mike drops her off the first thing he sees is a sign on the front door:

A Cool Book Review
( www.cool-book-review.com )-Janelle Hooper has brought a story of domestic violence into fine focus with this book. It is a tragic tale but one
reflecting the persistence of the human spirit which eventually brings a final relief from the agonies of pain, fear, and
violence. The demeaning treatment of the heroine of this tale by her husband and her resourcefulness to secretly battle him
could only be told by someone who has been very close to similar actual events as either a participant or observer.
Libros en iguama.com- "Janelle
Meraz Hooper gives us more than a story. She gives us a cast of hilarious and memorable characters in a vividly drawn scene..."
A Three-Turtle Summer-

in my Turtle Trilogy. Note: My paperback and Kindle books are now available in the UK, DE, and Fr.

Janelle Meraz Hooper has
hit a homerun with her second book, AS BROWN AS I WANT, The Indianhead Diaries." Even better
than her much acclaimed first book, A THREE-TURTLE
SUMMER, Janelle's new book propels the reader through
a series of unique situations as experienced by eight-year-old Glory, who always seems just a few steps ahead of her scheming
father. Kelly Creso, Bold Media Corporation,
"I finished reading As Brown
as I Want, and really enjoyed it. I could not put it down!" Nancy Dorsey, Puyallup, WA
As Brown As I Want: The Indianhead Diaries- Fictional
autobiography/black comedy. 2004 Oklahoma Book Award Finalist. Paperback, iUniverse, 166 pages, $13.95 USD, Kindle $2.99 USD. The second
book in my Turtle Trilogy. Note: My paperback and Kindle books are now available in the UK, DE, and Fr.
Mini-synopsis
Eight-year-old Glory’s father has taken out a
$50,000 accidental-death insurance policy on her. Now he’s spending the summer trying to collect. A very funny book.
Although this is the second book in my turtle Trilogy, it stands alone.

Janelle Meraz Hooper has done it again! Custer and His Naked Ladies is filled
with quirky and likable characters in a richly detailed setting. Humor, family and love come shining through. There is a poignant
line in the book that has stayed with me: "Old age had crept in and stolen their bodies while they were dancing through life."
These women have danced! VF Gibson, Seattle, WA
"...you are excellent at spinning
a yarn and at painting a verbal picture of people and places." P. R., Tacoma
