When Lady Miss returns to her great-aunt's church in New Orleans to plan the funeral of the beloved Mother Miss Pearline, she discovers that the humble congregation of her youth has been transformed into a megachurch conglomerate run by holograms, subscriptions, and an AI named Earncybot.

In the picture-perfect English village of Sunken-Madley, a young covert witch is laying low. Amanda Cadabra has her reasons.

Something is not right with George the shepherd. His sheep have gathered around him outside the cozy Irish village of Glennkill to assess the situation. George has cared for the sheep, reading them books every night, and now he lies pinned to the ground with a spade. His flock, far savvier about the workings of the human mind than your average sheep, sets out to find George’s killer, led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world).

In her debut Audible memoir, Lady Miss Jacqueline (Oscar-winning child star, nightclub magnate, crystal empress, and self-proclaimed beacon of hope) finally tells her story in her own inimitable voice. From a gold-plated birth canal in Newport to surviving a shipwreck in nothing but a satin nightgown, from inspiring talk show legends to gifting Rolls Royces by Zeppelin to her nightclub staff in Ibiza, Lady Miss recounts the greatest moments of her lives (past and present) with the confidence of a woman who has never once been wrong, and the heart of one who occasionally suspects she might be.

Spanning six decades, from a 1970s rehearsal dinner at a Malibu mansion to a crystal mine wedding in 1990s Sedona, a bachelorette party at a presidential estate in the 2000s, a penthouse ceremony in 2025, and an intergalactic courtroom in 2089, each of Lady Miss' weddings is less about the groom and more about the scheme. Whether she's blackmailing a senator, pitching a reality TV empire to her mother-in-law, or battling a tech billionaire for advertising rights on the moon, Lady Miss always has a plan, and it never goes the way she expects.
