A Woman's Work is Never Done
Betty Jones is a woman with a dark past, which she paints each day with Avon cosmetics and a picture-perfect smile. She’s created a new life with her naive-but-loveable husband George, and their children. Despite the protective walls that she has built around her world, Betty is unable to live with the continuing existence of the people who once ruined her, so she embarks on a cold-blooded vigilante mission to be rid of them once and for all. But the past is catching up to her, and it’s not going to be pretty…
A Dream to Call My Own
In Episode #2, Betty continues her vigilante ways, this time with her sights set on Frank Polletti, a crime boss working from the Capitol Palace jazz club in Harlem. Meanwhile, George becomes suspicious and a handsome detective with links to Betty’s past steps into the mess she leaves behind.
Chocolate Cake and Sandwiches
In Episode #3, Donald Pinzolo, the head of organized crime in New York, becomes the benefactor of an orphanage as a cover for more sinister activities. Meanwhile, Sergeant Jacob Lawrence finds a new romantic interest that complicates his search for the vigilante behind the mob killings.

About this Series
Set against the backdrop of World War 2 in New York City, this series features an unlikely heroine that you'll fall in love with. Blessed with gifts that make her more than human, Betty Jones is a femme fatale hidden in plain sight who moonlights as a housewife, Avon lady and mother of two as she wages war with a powerful crime syndicate. Each compilation contains 3 novella-length episodes, and you can find continuing new releases for this series on Amazon.
For fans of Kerry Greenwood's Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, classic Film Noir like Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep and action superheroes like Marvel's Avenger Black Widow, starring Scarlett Johansson.
Avon Calling takes on the tropes of femininity in the 40's- the dutiful wife, gals who just want to look pretty letting their man do all the heavy lifting and thinking - and flips them on their head.
It's a blisteringly paced and stylish read that's a mix of Batman and Agent Carter - with a dash of Tarantino... If you love ruthless revenge, kick-ass action and unforgettable characters, then you'll love Hayley Camille's bestselling serialized novel.
