Sorry for the radio silence. I'm busy working on the second book in the Dakota Mystery series. The title is Dead Dreams. Per usual, I'm all in a muddle at this point and don't have a clue how I'm going to wrap it all up.
But I'll get there somehow. Or so I have to believe.
Who knows what my editor will do with it when I turn it in. But here's a blurb for those of you who want to know what's coming. The ebook should be out by the end of the year. If not, someone's gonna die. ;-)
Dreams can inspire, crush—and even kill.
When Sheriff Karen Mehaffey calls back Adam Van Eck to look after
his ailing mother, he reluctantly returns from pounding the boards on
Broadway—and is found days later, shotgun in hand, with his mother planted dead in her garden. With half her head blown off.
He claims he was chasing rabbits. Right.
But Karen is too distracted to listen to his prevarications, what with rising flood waters threatening the town. Going for the stars—sheriff’s stars—wasn’t turning out to be a dream come true. And she’s been offered a dream job in Washington DC.
Detective Marek Okerlund, on the other hand, welcomes the distraction from the anniversary of his wife’s death and his mother-in-law’s unannounced visit.
But who other than Adam Van Eck could possibly want the retired schoolteacher dead? The only link to her life outside her garden is the Dream Team, a group of high school students dreaming up ways to revitalize the dying county of Eda.
With the detritus of dead dreams all around, Karen and Marek must flush out a killer.
Before the levees break.
