Summer Reading

I've just published a novella in the Small Town series called "Indian Summer." It stems from a visit I made years ago to the Crow Fair in Montana, a celebration of Native American culture and cuisine. The bright colors of the tribal garb, the beating of the drummers, and the swirling of the dancers makes a wonderful setting for a story.

Sue-Ann gets a call from her old friend from Iraq, Ossie Enemy Hunter, asking her to come to Montana. It seems that his niece, a talented athlete, has disappeared. But when she and Gina arrive, Sue-Ann finds out that there is way more to the story than she was told.

In a way, it is Indian Summer for the Small Town series as well as for the characters in the story. The second novel followed her sister as a top-five finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards. The third novel has been published and is being read far and wide.

"Indian Summer" is another blip in the series,k but it is a big blip. Not only is is twice as long as any of the other short stories, but it heralds a major change in the lives of some of the characters. Because of this, I hope you will all read the novels first.

The short stories, including "Indian Summer," will be released as a paperback and an e-book in early 2015. And like the new story, it will be available in all the major retail locations, including Smashwords, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Amazon.

There is currently one more story that has already been written to close out the saga. Anyone with any good mystery ideas for Sue-Ann to solve, let me know. There is still time for to write a couple more.
