Praise for Flipka
“Funny, suspenseful, entertaining, erudite (Lamarck!), this book showed me a good time. JT Twissel owns Nevada like Fellini owns Rome.”

Praise for:
“Following her hilarious novel FLIPKA, J.T. Twissel brings us another unlikely heroine – an anti-war hippy waif on her first trip to Europe to visit her raunchy (but humorous and harmless) uncle who is an army accountant or very possibly a CIA Spy.”

Book Summary
When the curtain falls, Maya Bethany is left with a conniving ex-husband, a string of temp jobs from hell, and a tax debt she couldn’t pay off in a million years. Enter a no-nonsense tax attorney who’d rather be rescuing horses. Fourteen years of tax cases has left him with a hard and cynical shell while she is ready to do battle, confident that they will win. The title is from a section of the tax code designed to provide relief for taxpayers who were duped and mislead by an ex-spouse.
Praise for Willful Avoidance:
“I truly enjoyed reading “Willful Avoidance”. Knowing it was written from a true experience, I was amazed at the length of time and diligence needed to prove one’s innocence. I loved JT Twissel’s sense of humor and experienced several ‘laugh out loud’ moments throughout the book. Good read!”
