A Walk in The Park Book I of The Stephanie Beroe Chronicles- paperback by J.A. St. Thomas is a tale of Love, Mystery, Intrigue, Deception, Loyalty, Courage, Privilege, Strength, and Brilliance. Foray into this highly entertaining and thrilling mystery series where Stephanie Beroe risks everything to combat the dark side of the one percent. On the verge of success, darlings of the alluring cannabis industry, Stephanie and her husband Remy are wooed by several Fortune 500 companies beyond their wildest expectations, private planes, yachts, and luxury vacations, vex their “mom-and- pop” moral compass and artistic ideals, until they fall victim to corporate sabotage. Then Remy disappears. While in the belly of the world’s most exclusive social clubs, lives are altered like card games, spurred by the privileged, as a gruesome master plan is inveigled for sport. Caught between corporate malfeasance and a terrible secret that may be the reason Remy is gone, Stephanie is forced to decide who to trust and what to risk in a race against time, as she lowers herself into the playing field with nothing left to lose. Driven by their fierce bond of love, the Beroes’ must rely on “out of the box” skills to inspire a dysfunctional group of jungle/punk abductees, a wayward private eye, a monolithic media mogul, a regretful privileged son, and an awakened third-generation scion in this gripping clash of cultures.

“Buy this book. This is the good read you are looking for. A Walk In the Park is a brilliantly crafted novel that shares what life was like at ground zero of the burgeoning cannabis industry and exposes the darkest elements of human nature. All of this, woven around a nuanced, sexy, front-seat perspective to one of the world’s most impressive love affairs. Once you have it in your hands, you won’t want to put it down.” Jean Weiss, author and editor, Yoga Journal, Outside Magazine, Delicious Living, Women’s Sports & Fitness.

Pot Luck Home School Murder Mystery Book III of A Stephanie Beroe Chronicles by J.A. St. Thomas - Paperback

This latest, delicious, thriller, sheds light on how differences between neighbors and friends, blended with a dose of alienation, duress, and let’s not forget pot, can make you fast friends or make you enemies. The world in lock down, schools closed, Stephanie creates a micro-school for her niece in a small hippie town outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Outdoor playdates and housing the group are wonderful new exercises in family, community, sharing food, and friendship; something she desperately seeks during a time of isolation. But what seems like a great idea, becomes a multi-layered recipe for murder that makes her profession in the cannabis industry indelibly pedestrian.

It becomes clear this group of PTA women is dynamic, but maybe not in a good way as a CEO of a ranching family with a vendetta for plant-based, diet enthusiasts, a domineering, Christian missionary from California whose husband is a closet, flat-earth math teacher, a morose, vegetarian, doctor’s wife with a dangerous personal secret, and a militant, vegan momtrepreneur, go into survival mode. The pot boils over when women start turning up stoned and dead, making Stephanie the lead suspect. Inveigled by an irretrievable desire to fit into “normal society,” a familiar, unyielding tolerance, may be Stephanie’s biggest enemy.

"Engaging, hilarious and gratifying. St. Thomas’s heroine Stephanie Beroe is flawless.  

Stephanie Beroe has her hands full – not that that’s anything new. This time, our sanguine heroine is in an historic western town in New Mexico, facing off against a group of formidable foes: the moms in her niece’s home school group. Covid lockdown is raging and the kids have their share of challenges, but these pale in comparison to what their conniving, angst-ridden, narcissistic parents are up to. While pandemic restrictions alter the parameters of daily life and everyone slips closer to the edge of social absurdity, an even bigger issue surfaces when the adults in the school group become the target of a clever murderer. As the other parents capitulate into a Wild West frame of mind, it’s up to Stephanie to find the killer and restore equanimity."
