Another day, another dead body. It’s all in a day of the life of Salem Grimes.
Salem Grimes figures even a God who works in mysterious ways wouldn’t resort to a dead body in a dumpster in answer to Salem’s prayers to help her stay on her diet – excuse me – Strat-EAT-Gic plan. But a dead body in a dumpster it is, and now Salem and Viv, her octogenarian partner-in-crime-solving, are on the case once again.
Salem finds the search for the killer a satisfactory distraction from all the things she needs distraction from – “dates” with the husband she hasn’t known for the past decade, growing jealousy of Viv’s friendship with Dale-the-Annoying-Hanger-On, and a mentor who says things that – okay, maybe Salem needs to hear, but she really doesn’t want to.
As she seeks peace amidst praying prairie dogs and too much Chinese food, Salem struggles to disentangle what she believes from what she thinks she should believe, and – most frightening of all, the possibility that she might have to figure out for herself just where the truth lies. Oh, and avoid a murderer on the loose, if she can manage it.

Harris Produces Rousing New Adventures In ‘Trailer Park Princess’ Series
When dog groomer Salem Grimes pulls into Sonic for a double-meat, double-cheese burger with extra mayo and jumbo fries, the last thing she’s expecting to find is another dead body.
But as she waits for her food to be delivered, she watches the garbage truck in the alley pick up a metal dumpster and – hold on! – was that a human body that just fell in the truck?
Sure enough, it was, and soon Salem Grimes and her 80-something-year-old sidekick Viv — and an annoying guy named Dale — are on the case, whether the police like it or not (they don’t).
It’s another rousing tale by Lubbock author Kim Hunt Harris featuring Grimes, the unlikeliest of heroes. This one is The Trailer Park Princess with Unsightly Bulges, the second in a series. The first was The Trailer Park Princess and the Middle Finger of Fate, and a third is coming soon, The Trailer Park Princess Is Caught in the Crotchfire. Plus there are two “Trailer Park Princess” short stories available as e-books.
Harris mixes in a lot of humor and action, but also some serious contemplations regarding faith, family, friendship and social issues, into her stories, which are in paperback and e-book formats.
