Victoria Roder-You’ll Never Guess What’s Illegal

I’m author Victoria Roder and I’m thrilled to be visiting on Seriously Reviewed. I live in central Wisconsin and I’m an average girl that likes to hang out with my family. We enjoy camping, hiking, shooting bow, and motorcycle rides. The main character in my action thriller, BOLT ACTION, is Detective Leslie Bolt. Since she investigates crimes, I thought I would share with you, dumb laws that are still on the books in Wisconsin.
It is illegal to play checkers in public. That’s a law in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. Is there something about the game checkers I don’t know? Was it strip checkers?

Butter substitutes are not allowed to be served in state prisons. So, I pay my taxes and can’t afford real butter, but convicted felons with free room and board get real Land O Lakes or Grassland Dairy butter. Meanwhile I eat chemically induced, artificially flavored, tasteless, butter-like substitute. Hardly seems fair.

In Sun Prairie Wisconsin, Cats are forbidden from entering cemeteries. Really? Who’s standing guard and issuing Fluffy a ticket? My favorite is from Racine Wisconsin. Missiles may not be shot at parade participants. So, I’m wondering if it’s legal to shoot missiles at the spectators. Do they have a big problem with missiles being launched at the Miss Racine float as the girls are waving princess style…elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist?

In my action thriller, BOLT ACTION from Champagne Books, Detective Leslie Bolt would never have participated in a Miss Racine pageant. She is a tough talking, gun hording, motorcycle riding investigator. After a childhood of abuse suffered at the hands of her father, Leslie stashes a collection of pistols, revolvers, and even keeps a Browning A-Bolt Stalker Rifle in her broom closet. She is stand-offish and down right rude and having to work a serial murder case with her handsome ex-lover, Detective Lance Kestler doesn’t improve her disposition.

Is the “State Quarter Killer” taunting police? As the body count mounts, Leslie begins to fall for the sexy medical examiner Jack Donington. Detective Bolt’s brash disposition begins to soften. Perhaps a couple of Harley’s, paint drumming to music, and a new romance can help Detective Bolt conquer her own demons from the past to solve the “State Quarter Case”.
