Felony Melanie and the Prank War by Douglas J Eboch and Kris Bock
Genre romantic comedy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G
You met her in the movie Sweet Home Alabama. Now see what Melanie Smooter was like before she became hot fashion designer Melanie Carmichael.
In high school, Melanie Smooter is known as Felony Melanie, the teenage troublemaker of Pigeon Creek, Alabama. Aching to escape the boredom of small-town life, her restlessness sparks many reckless adventures. Her boyfriend, Jake, is always by her side – and the local sheriff is usually close behind.
This week, everyone in town is looking forward to the big football game against Greenville, Pigeon Creek’s hated rivals. Jake is more excited than most – as the new quarterback, he’s poised for stardom. But the lead up to the game becomes as exciting as the game itself when pranksters from Greenville steal Pigeon Creek’s pig mascot. Then Jake’s playbook goes missing, which could get him kicked off the team. Could the pranksters have stolen it as well? Melanie, Jake, and their friends embark on an undercover mission to recover the stolen mascot and find Jake’s playbook before the team is disgraced in front of the whole town.
Head back in time to the early 1990s for this laugh out loud rom com based on one of the best rom com movies of all time.

Doug, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you hear! Please tell us about Totally Rad Wormhole.
Totally Rad Wormhole by Douglas J Eboch
Genre Teen Comedy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
It’s 1989, and high school seniors Alex and Roger cannot wait to graduate. High school may be heinous, but they have big plans for adulthood. Then, something goes wrong with their science project – it rips open a hole in time, a tunnel to the year 2021. The boys journey into the future to find out how their lives will turn out. But when they meet themselves at their high school reunion, they are not pleased with what they’ve become and set out to change their fate. Their future selves, however, remember this journey and compete to influence the outcome.
What’s in your character’s pockets, backpack, or purse?
What does your character always carry?
Alex always carries his Sony Walkman. He’s an avid member of the Columbia House music club. In the opening scene, he’s listening to a Timbuk3 cassette.
Does your character carry money and if so, in what form (cash, credit, etc.)?
Alex and Roger got their parents to give them their allowance early, so they have $35 in cash to take to 2021. However, they’re not sure people in the future will still use money.
What does your character carry related to a job or calling?
Alex is in high school, so he carries his school books, wrapped with brown paper bag covers. But he also likes to draw, so he carries a sketchbook filled with his original comic book characters and fantasy scenes, many featuring an elf princess based on his secret crush, Jennifer Adams.
What else besides pockets does the character use to carry things?
The teenagers, Alex and Roger, bring an A-Team backpack with them to carry their supplies for their time travel adventure.
Has anything in your character’s pockets ever gotten them in trouble?
At one point in 2021, the teenagers try to show their driver’s licenses for identification, but since the birthdates indicate they would be in their late 40’s, they are held by security for using fake I.D.’s.
Has anything in your character’s pockets ever saved the day?
Alex uses a plastic bag from his lunch to collect dog poop after he sees everyone in 2021 keeping their dog’s poop. He figures it must be valuable, but in the end it really doesn’t help him at all.

Felony Melanie in Pageant Pandemonium by Douglas J Eboch and Kris Bock
Genre romantic comedy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG (underage drinking)
Big City, Big Glamour, Big Trouble
Before Melanie Smooter became hot fashion designer Melanie Carmichael, she was known as Felony Melanie, the teenage troublemaker of Pigeon Creek, Alabama. Aching to escape the boredom of small-town life, she gets into many reckless adventures. Her boyfriend, Jake, is always by her side – and the local sheriff is usually close behind.
Melanie’s mother has been shoving her into every beauty pageant within twenty miles since Melanie was a toddler. Melanie is getting a little sick of it. She’s on the verge of quitting when she qualifies for the Miss Alabama Princess Pageant in the big city of Mobile. The first prize scholarship could be her ticket out of Pigeon Creek, not to mention that one of the judges is a real, live New York fashion designer. The competition will be fierce. Can a “trailer trash” girl outshine the snooty debutantes?
Meanwhile, Jake and his friends go to Mobile to support Melanie – and to party in the big city. But when the pageant is cursed by disasters from cockroaches in the banquet hall to skunks on stage, the gang suspects someone is sabotaging the contest. They try to figure who’s behind it and why, but it isn’t easy when everyone dismisses you as redneck kids.
Melanie needs to prove herself on stage. Jake and the gang need to make sure she gets the chance. Can they show they’re more than what people see on the surface?

Felony Melanie in Pageant Pandemonium by Douglas J Eboch and Kris Bock
Genre Romantic Comedy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Introducing the new young adult romantic comedy series featuring “Felony Melanie” seven years before the events of the movie Sweet Home Alabama.
Before Melanie Smooter became hot fashion designer Melanie Carmichael, she was known as Felony Melanie, the teenage troublemaker of Pigeon Creek, Alabama. Aching to escape the boredom of small-town life, she gets into many reckless adventures. Her boyfriend, Jake, is always by her side – and the local sheriff is usually close behind.
When Melanie qualifies for the Miss Alabama Princess Pageant Southern Regional in the big city of Mobile, the first prize scholarship could be her ticket out of Pigeon Creek. But can her homemade dresses compete against the expensive gowns, and can a “trailer trash” girl survive when a haughty debutante will do anything to destroy the competition.
Meanwhile, Jake thinks beauty pageants are silly, but he’ll be there to support Melanie – as long as he can avoid getting kicked out by hotel security. Then Jake and his friends start to suspect someone is sabotaging the whole pageant. They try to follow the clues, but it isn’t easy when everyone dismisses you as redneck kids.
Melanie needs to prove herself on stage. Jake and the gang need to make sure she gets the chance. Can they show they’re more than what people see on the surface?
Suitable for ages 12 and up.
Know the Heroine from Felony Melanie in Pageant Pandemonium

It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Sneak out of the trailer home, find Jake and maybe some of the rest of the gang, and get into trouble.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Barbecue, yum!
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
When she’s not gussied up for the beauty pageant stage, she prefers to wear clothes that can stand up to running through the woods to escape the sheriff, and maybe a dive into the pond.
Does she know how to fix things?
She’s better known for breaking things.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
“Felony Melanie” earned her nickname because everything she tries to do seems to go badly. There was the episode of blowing up the bank. Totally in accident. We don’t talk about that (much).
Sign up for our newsletter and get Felony Melanie Destroys the Moonshiner’s Cabin. These first two chapters from the novel Felony Melanie in Pageant Pandemonium stand alone as a short story. You can probably guess from the title that this is not one of Melanie’s more successful evenings.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
In Pigeon Creek, everyone knows everyone.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
So not a morning person.
Can she use chopsticks?
She’s seen chopsticks.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Coffee with lots of sugar when she was out late getting into trouble, and now she needs to wake up and pretend to be a respectable young lady on the beauty pageant stage.
What apps would she have on her phone?
It’s 1993 in rural Alabama. What are apps?
Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!
