Christmas Audio Book

I"m excited to say, Yuletide Slaying, book 7 in the Shandra Higheagle Mystery series is now in audio!

I am enjoying working with Ann Thompson as my narrator for the Shandra Higheagle series. Fatal Fall has been narrated and is going through all the processing. I should have that one available after the first of the year along with book 12, Homicide Hideaway. And the first book of the new Gabriel Hawke series, Murder of Ravens.

I'm excited about my new series and looking forward to taking Ryan and Shandra on more sleuthing journeys as a married couple.

Yuletide Slaying

Book 7 of the Shandra Higheagle mystery series

Family, Revenge, Murder

When Shandra Higheagle’s dog brings her a dead body in a sleigh full of presents, her world is turned upside down. The man is a John Doe and within twenty-four hours another body is found.

Detective Ryan Greer receives a call that has them both looking over their shoulders. A vengeful brother of a gang member who died in a gang war is out for Ryan’s blood. Shandra’s dreams and Ryan’s fellow officers may not be enough to keep them alive to share Christmas.

New Project- Gabriel Hawke

I have finished the first book of the Gabriel Hawke series and it is off to a beta reader. Once she finishes, I need to find a male beta reader because it is all in the point of view of a male character. Then it will go off to critique partners and on down my line of minions who help me make my books readable.

I had a great time meeting new people and learning about occupations I didn't know to write this book. Meeting an ODFW(Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife) State Trooper, a wildlife biologist, and a Forest service helicopter pilot and his wife.

For me it definitely takes a village to write a book. I have so many things I need to learn and prefer hearing it from a person who does that job. Reading about a job doesn't give you all the nuances that you learn from a person.

I also visited the trail head that is part of several scenes in my story and took photos. I'm hoping my cover artist will be able to make a good looking cover from my photos.

Right now my biggest concern is deciding what genre it falls under. Because it has a Law Enforcement protagonist, I believe it should go under Police Procedural or Crime Fiction. It's not a mystery like my Shandra Higheagle books. There is a pretty good idea of who is the killer from early in the book, but my character has to come up with the proof to place the person with the victim.  And being a tracker, once he's on the trail, he can't leave it alone.

This first book will be available in January 2019.
