LIVE Ringer is due out soon. It's the first in a mystery series. Check it out on my website.
The LIVE mystery series features reluctant investigative reporter, Allie Grainger, her cowardly Lhasa Apso, Spook, and her childhood friends, all cops determined to save Allie from herself. Mix in the ghost of her aunt, who whispers bits of wisdom and the occasional warning in Allie's ear, and the reader is in for fast-paced excitement.
LIVE Ringer begins when Allie inherits her aunt's beach house in Cape Canaveral, Florida. All she wants to do is mourn her aunt's passing and her recent divorce, but before twenty-four hours elapses, she finds herself knee-deep in salt water and murder.
Soon to follow:
LIVE Ammo.
Sheriff Cord Arbutten's wife is dead, an apparent suicide, but his grown son claims she was murdered--by the Sheriff. Rand Arbutten, an attorney who hates his father, vows he's going to prove it. When it comes to light that she was killed with the Sheriff's old service revolver right in the middle of a nasty divorce, the Governor suggests that Cord think about stepping down. Suddenly, the Sheriff is faced with losing everything, possibly including his freedom.
Investigative reporter Allie Grainger gets involved when her best friend Sheryl, a Sheriff's Deputy, begs her to help. Allie barely knows the Sheriff, but she knows that Sheryl greatly respects him and that her deceased aunt, who worked for him for over twenty years, believed he was an honorable man. That's enough for her.
Repeated clashes with the Sheriff's son only make Allie more determined to discover the truth. Rand sets out to block Allie at every turn. When anger doesn't work, he turns on the charm, charm that gets to Allie a lot more than she's willing to admit.
Sidney Finch, a Sheriff's Deputy who idolizes the Sheriff, doesn't use charm to impede her investigation. He uses naked threats. Allie has to ask herself who he's trying to protect--the Sheriff or himself? She isn't sure how far Sidney will go to stop her, but since he has a hair-trigger temper and carries a gun, she absolutely doesn't want to find out.
Then Rand Arbutten agrees to work with Allie instead of against her. She isn't sure of his motives, but she'll take any help she can get. With her dead aunt whispering encouragement in her ear and Sheryl egging her on, Allie sets out to discover what really happened the day Jean Arbutten died.
