Great News from the Northwoods….
I am very pleased to announce I am working on a new book with a new publisher – Crooked Lane Books.
This book, The Wolf Moon, will be published early next summer and is closely linking to my Loon Lake Mystery Series – featuring all the familiar faces who do their best to help or sabotage Chief of Police Lewellyn Ferris as she tries to keep order in the land and on the waters surrounding Loon Lake, a place of mystery, tragedy and beauty.
And, yes, that tipsy coroner is still over-served and the Wausau boys are still complicating Lew’s life but the good news is the muskies are lurking, the blue-winged olives hatching and the trout are rising.
Stay tuned for an exact publishing date in Early Summer 2021 – and wish Chief Ferris luck….
