Hawke is Tracking Again!

Book 4 in the Gabriel Hawke series is now available! I had a wonderful trip jet boating the Snake River to prepare to write this book.

Hawke is tracking an escaped prisoner in Hells Canyon Recreational Area in Idaho. While tracking the fugitive, the whole thing becomes more complicated with the prisoner is killed.

I don’t want to give anymore away, but the story took Hawke through Hells Canyon, the Seven Devils, back to Wallowa County and then to Boise, where he worked with Idaho officials to finally figure out the reason for the breakout and the killings.

As always, this book is available in ebook and print.

Chattering Blue Jay

Book 4 in the Gabriel Hawke Series

Killer on the loose.

Tracking Rivalry.

Revenge could get them killed.

Fish and Wildlife Oregon State Trooper Gabriel Hawke is set to teach a class at a Search and Rescue conference in Idaho when a dangerous inmate breaks out of prison. It is believed the man is headed to Hells Canyon.

Hawke is enlisted to find the escapee. He’s paired with a boastful tracker who doesn’t follow directions, making them both targets.

Before the dust settles, the other tracker is dead and Hawke is twisting in the wind for letting the possible killer get away.

Join Me For a CLUE Party

I’m excited to say that my annual Facebook party, December 7th is going to be a CLUE Party!

I have 12 western romance authors and 11 mystery/thriller/suspense authors joining me for the 12 hours of fun. Each author will be on the Facebook party page for 30 minutes. They will each reveal a clue that those who follow the party need to keep track of. Here is the party link. Head on over there and click “Going” if you want a chance to win one of TWO Kindle Fire 7 ereaders that I’m giving away to those who gather the clues and play the game.

Each author will also be giving away ebooks, print books, and other fun stuff during their half hour. If you have time to spare and would love to visit with and meet authors new to you or maybe ones you already know, come on by, maybe win something and be sure to play the CLUE game for a chance at one of the Kindle Fires.

Don’t forget this is the link to the party page: https://www.facebook.com/events/426351174658554/

Falling Behind-Pun Intended

With Fall and a frantic schedule, I’ve been neglecting this blog. I had a great trip to Kauai, Hawaii, came home and had several short trips to make. Now I’m at the Oregon Coast at a Writers Retreat with three author friends.

I sent off book 4 in the Gabriel Hawke Novel series, Chattering Blue Jay, to my critique partners. Now I wait for their suggestions and then it’s off to my editor. while I enjoyed writing the book and going back to Hells Canyon and the Snake River in this story, I was ready to finish it so I can start thinking about Hawke’s next adventure. I’m still on the fence over which book in my ideas file it will be.

Toxic Trigger-point book 13 in the Shandra Higheagle mystery series is available. This book uses my experience at a spa and my thought about a murder in such a place as the premise of the story.

Right now, at the coast I am pulling together the next Shandra book, Abstract Casualty, set in Kaua’i, Hawaii. While I was in Kaua’i, I did the leg work to figure out how to realistically get my character to the island. I was happy to learn about the Kaua’i Art Society Annual Juror Art Exhibit.

While figuring out the story, I’ve be reliving my time in Kaua’i.

And here is the information about Toxic Trigger-point:

Adultery… Jealousy… Murder

Shandra Higheagle Greer is minding her own business when she walks into a room for a massage and it is already occupied—by a dead body.

Always the champion for someone she knows, when her favorite masseuse looks like the murderer, Shandra listens to her gut and dreams choreographed by her deceased grandmother.

Detective Ryan Greer can’t believe his wife has walked into another homicide. He’s learned no matter how he tries to keep her out of the investigation he can’t. But this time the consequences could be deadly for Shandra—she heard the murder happen.
