You've Found the Website of Author Peg Herring!
This is the upcoming book, which is a bit of a departure for me. Instead of straight mystery, KIDNAP.org is a caper novel with a unique cast of characters. It starts when Robin, who's having a very bad day, gets a call from her eccentric neighbor asking for help. It seems he accidentally kidnapped someone--but in a really good cause!
Here's what you might want to know about Peg and her work:
Writes: Mysteries, mostly. There's suspense and death but no graphic violence, sex, or language.
Unique Qualities: In each book/series, the characters have an interesting view of the world. Though single, small-town females who just opened a business is all the rage for protagonists, but I don't find that interesting unless something about their character makes me want to get to know them. So yes, I have some books about small-town women, but the stories explore their character, their relationships, and their personalities along with a puzzling mystery.
Recognition: Authors these days love to tell how they're Amazon Bestsellers and such. I've received those kinds of benchmarks and more, but my favorite thing is when a reader contacts me to say, "I loved that book!"
Current projects: I'm at work on something new that's a little hard to categorize. It's a caper novel (my editor says) that throws together some unique, wonderful characters. If I ever get through the edits, it will be out in the first half of 2017. Maggie is also at work on Sleuth Sisters #5, slated for about the same time. (That should be fun...)
Cutesy facts about me that readers will love:
Hmmm. There's the 22-year-old cat, of course. She's very lovable except at 3:00 a.m. when she wants to lick my hair.
There's my home state, Michigan, which is lovable as far as looking at nature goes--sometimes. →→→→→→→→→→→
I have the love of my life (well, the last 47 years of it), banging around downstairs as I write this. Here he is buried in granddaughter/granddog.
And of course I love books, not all at the same level, but still. Here are my personal categories.
