Her recent mystery novel, "Just Try Me," has been called a spicy page-turner.

Paxton's illustrious career includes working as an executive at Playboy Enterprises, Inc., where she reported to Hugh Hefner & Christie Hefner. While working at Playboy, Paxton befriended one of the most famous names in cannabis, Keith Stroup, founder of NORML (the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). While the political mandate for years has been to “just say no” to drugs, NORML, with generous funding from Playboy, has remained on the forefront of marijuana legalization.
