A SUMMER OF CHOICES

    Sixteen-year-old Nicki is sent to stay at her grandfather’s cabin near the town of Punishment in the Mendocino Forest. But soon after arriving, she begins to suspect Grandpa is keeping secrets. Her exile brings an unexpected bright spot: Grandpa’s German shepherd, Queenie. The hunky neighbor boy’s another plus, though she quickly starts to doubt his honesty. 

    From secret pot farms to human trafficking, Nicki discovers nothing in the ‘Mendo’ is what it seems. When Grandpa takes off and the lives of new friends are endangered, Nicki must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect those she cares about. Before summer ends, Nicki will learn there are some choices she can’t undo.

    It’s a good thing Grandpa taught her how to shoot. http://amzn.to/1VIgnLu

MEMORY AND MURDER

   Twenty-seven-year-old Miranda Burgess hasn't seen her hometown since she awoke inside a strange house and discovered six dead bodies, including that of her boyfriend. With no memory of the prior drug-fueled night or who committed the murders, Miranda panicked and fled to L.A. where she changed her name and made a fresh start.

   Though hiding her identity and lying about the past have kept her safe for the last ten years, the nightmares haven't stopped. When her father dies suddenly, Miranda returns to to Mill Valley to say her goodbyes and look for answers. If she succeeds in digging out the truth about that long-ago night, Miranda may finally be able to stop hiding and build a new life.

   Too bad the killer has other plans.

 

"A classic suspense story with dead bodies and a secret. A great combination to keep readers turning pages."

  - Judge, 3rd Annual Writers' Digest Self-Published Book Awards.
