Rubicon Ranch: A Collaboration by authors of Second Wind Publishing -- (Mystery & Thrillers)
1 chapters   —   updated Oct 24, 2010 08:10pm
Description: Rubicon Ranch is a collaborative novel being written by Second Wind authors. One chapter will be posted each week at the Rubicon Ranch site http://rubiconranch.wordpress.com, but I'm giving you a sneak preview here. Ah, heck -- I'll post the entire first chapter. If you wish to be notified when a new chapter is posted, go to the site and subscribe. I'd give you a clue as to who committed the murder (if it is a murder) but no one knows, not even the authors, since we are posting the book as we write it. When the entire cast of suspects and all the evidence has been posted, you can even tell us who you'd like the killer to be. I hope you will join in the fun!
