Book one of THE RACHAEL O'BRIEN CHRONICLES introduces Rachael O'Brien, whose plan to study Art History turns into a laugh-out-loud romp of misadventure. It's 1986, the era of Pop Rocks, Jelly shoes, and big hair rockbands when she enrolls in a southern college intending to earn a degree, party, and meet cute guys--hopefully acing the latter two. She has barely had time to acquaint herself to the dorm food before finding herself threatened by a jealous She-Devil, fending off the advances of a thirty-something redneck, and stumbling upon an art fraud scheme. To top things off, her parents go their separate ways: her mom to follow a psychic calling; her dad adrift in his midlife crisis. Bad decision-making, law-bending behavior, and surprise romances make freshman year memorable in Paisley Ray's DEEP FRIED AND PICKLED.


Paisley Ray grew up in Pittsburgh when the three rivers town was a steel city. She has fond memories of Kennywood Park’s Thunderbolt wooden roller coaster, and remembers the invention of the terrible towel. Although she has relocated numerous times, she still craves an Isaly’s chipped ham sandwich. Summer breaks were spent with relatives on the Carolina shores, and it didn’t take long for her love of the south to become rooted in her veins and yield the setting for her novels. To date there are 10 novels in this humorous romantic misadventure mystery series. The Rachael O’Brien Chronicles are not your typical fiction. A young woman’s plan for an art history degree turns into an outrageous series of misadventures in this laugh-out-loud romp about a girl who enrolls in a southern college during the height of the crazy era that was the 1980’s. This collection crosses genres of chick lit, mystery, romance, humor, and action with the possibility of a corpse or two.
