Wicked Eddies (Mystery & Thrillers)
1 chapters
—
updated Jun 25, 2012 07:24pm
Description:
Wicked Eddies is the second book in the RM Outdoor Adventures series.
Fly fishing is dangerous? River ranger Mandy Tanner had no idea until days before a huge tournament in Salida, Colorado. True, the Arkansas River can be a man-eater, but the rapids weren't responsible for driving a hatchet into the neck of would-be competitor Howie Abbott―a secretive man who may have been cheating. While casting about for suspects, Mandy seeks clues from Abbott's family members, including her best friend, bartender Cynthia Abbott. But when Cynthia becomes the prime suspect, Mandy realizes she's wading into deeper, more hazardous waters than ever.

Description:
The first book in my new Rocky Mountain Outdoor Adventures mystery series starring Mandy Tanner, a whitewater river ranger, to be released March 1, 2011. When Mandy rescues a man who fell out of a raft on the upper Arkansas River in Colorado and he dies on the river bank, she feels driven to find out what—or who—killed him.
"Deadly Currents is a remarkable book by an author who clearly knows and loves her territory. Don't miss it!" -- William Kent Krueger, author of the Cork O'Connor series
"Hurray for Deadly Currents, a heart-racing debut to a new series with as many twists and turns and unexpected upsets as a ride through the rapids itself." -- Margaret Coel, author of The Silent Spirit

What would you do if confronted with a kill or be-killed scenario? What if you had to kill an infant? Of an alien species? And what if the future of the human race depended on your decision? The Epsilon Eridani Alternative explores a timely ethical issue--the use of stem cells for medical research--but with a futuristic twist.

Thanks so much, Julia, for the positive feedback! I hope you enjoy book 2, To Hell in a Handbasket, just as much.
Thanks for your concern, Richard! We are safe here in Breckenridge, but we lived in northwest CO Springs for almost 20 years before moving here, so we have good friends who have lost their homes. Heart-breaking! It's hard to focus on anything else.
Beth, seeing all the news stories about the wildfires in CO, I hope against hope that you and all of your loved ones are safe and sound, and stay that way.
Hi Beth,Both DEADLY CURRENTS and WICKED EDDIES are available on the Nook. Here are the links:

Hello Beth,I'm still new at Goodreads. I was wondering if you have a few minutes, you could help me navigate around in Goodreads. I'm trying to find all the different genres so I can join a few.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for your note and for signing up for my email newsletter, Christine! Unfortunately, unless my books start hitting more bestseller lists, I won't be able to afford to travel from Colorado to New Jersey anytime soon. The closest I'll get this year is the Malice Domestic conference in Bethesda, MD and the Festival of Mystery in Oakmont, PA. I'd love to hear from you after you read any of my books, though.
i went on your website and i wrote you a long note and i'm glad that we're friends on this website and i can't wait to read your books
Beth, I am going to read
after I finish Magnificent Obsession. I finally get to use a book of yours in the Seasonal Reading Challenge :)
Beth, thanks for friending me! (I think we met at Malice Domestic?) See you around the Cozy Mystery group!
Hi Beth, I must be moving up in the world. I'm finding you everywhere I go. Thanks for the shining light to light my way. Terry
Hi, Beth,A pleasure to meet you. The Epsilon Eridani Alternative sounds completely out of this world, no pun intended, which is just how I am, so I look forward to reading it :)

I look forward to reading your books. The Deadly Currents sounds so exciting. I will add to my read list.
Hi Beth,Thanks for the friend request. I have put your first book on my to-read list for it looks very interesting. If there are other books that you really like feel free to message me. I am always looking for new authors to read.
I see that you have read some of Tim Cockey's books. He is an old college friend of mine. I did enjoy the Hitchcock series. He is now writing under the name of Richard Hawke. I do not care so much for this series. A little bit too violent, sicko type characters. I have read your basket books and enjoyed them very much. Will you be writing another in the series?
Thanks for the friend request. Your book A Real Basket Case sounds interesting and I've added it to my TBR.
Hey Beth,Check out a sneak peek of my upcoming 2011 novel, Giving Up the Ghost.
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note...
Also, if you have a literary blog or site and would like to do a review or interview with me for your blog when the book is out, let me know. I'll add you to my list. Just send me a message in my inbox.
Best Wishes!

Thank you for having me as your friend on GoodReads! I'm excited to add your books to my To-reads...a new series is like going on a brand new adventure. :) Thanks again!Best wishes,
Gabi
Hi Beth, thanks for the invite. I think you know my sister, Chris Herndon. That's where I found you on fcebook. She used to be with El Paso Coroners office. Anyway, that's how I came across your profile at Facebook.
Beth, enjoyed all your news and reading about new books - one of the great joys of blogging is meeting new readers and writer (and news about new books :-)Happy New Year,
Jackie Griffey
