Finally–Donna Stone, as you've never seen her before: through the eyes of those who affected her life the most.
In this full-length prequel to the Housewife Assassin series, Acme Industries black-ops agent Jack Craig is tasked with investigating the mysterious death of his organization’s most prolific hit man, Carl Stone, only to fall in love with the dead man’s wife, Donna–a woman he must never contact, but who may hold the key to her husband's disappearance.
When Acme approaches Donna to join their organization as an assassin, Jack’s undercover mission will change both their lives forever.
In order to flush out an internationally renowned hacker who is wreaking havoc with the United States’ Intelligence Community’s secured database, housewife assassin Donna Stone infiltrates three very successful high tech corporations:
–A company providing smart phones and other wireless devices with an operating system that contains artificial intelligence designed to meet your every need–even if it kills you;
–A tech conglomerate CEO who plans to broker the country’s intelligence secrets to the highest bidder, be it a terrorist or enemy state;
–And an interactive game start-up with an avatar on the deadliest mission of all:
kill Donna.
Can she save the world from terror–and at the same time protect her children from the painful knowledge of the father who deserted them?
It's up to Donna Stone to save a hotel filled with international dignitaries from the terrorists whose usual demands are million-dollar ransoms. But this time, the price is much higher, and much more personal for everyone’s favorite housewife assassin.

"Josie Brown writes
Totlandia
with her usual storytelling flair. The dialogue is smooth and flowing. The characters are easy to side with or become angry with, depending on each situation. The scenery is easy to visualize. And we mustn't forget all the sex (blushworthy, at that) and scandal that is a staple of a true Josie Brown novel.”
–Chick Lit Central

“There are some really sweet moments mixed in with the catty wonderfulness that Brown always seems to capture.
I just can't believe I have to wait until the installment which will be released soon…”

Bookhounds Review
“Picture Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City. Totlandia would be the baby they created. The first book in this four-part series outlines the quest to become a member of an elite mommy group. It’s by invitation only, and that’s no easy task, with six candidates vying for the last four sots. Not good enough to get the nomination or iding some scandalous secret, the mantra for these mommies is ‘Fake it ‘til you make it.’ The book is a blast, packed with humorous punches between these ladies whose very existence relies on their ability to keep up appearances. This author will have you howling as you devour this most recent work. Yeah, she’s that good. And so are her books

Stress-Free, Baby
“Brown has you rooting for the under-mommy who is halfway normal while gawking at the crazy mommies. These moms are so over the top it’s like peeking into a wild animal exhibit at the zoo. But that’s what makes it fun…Brown does a great job of giving all the moms a real feeling. She shows you their vulnerabilities and does a great job in creating believable characters. You get addicted pretty quickly.”

Words by Webb
“From the first page,
Totlandia
made me laugh at some of the predicaments that mothers are placed in when they are dealing with a one-year-old. The author did an amazing jo at giving each character a distinct voice and their own trial that they are trying to overcome thoughout the book, and makes each character’s reasoning completely understandable and believable. I found myself cheering them on and hopign they mae the cut even though part ofmy mind was thinking how ridiculous it all was…I look forward to continuing with the drama that is the PHM&T club.”

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 in this lively novel.”
