One last thing to do in the backyard. Just one last thing and then all is done. This weekend Hubby completed the little patio in the garden using extra Bluestone that we had from another project. The last thing on the list to do is bring in the redwood chips for the pathway. This is the final step that I have been looking forward to for a long long time. It occurred to me last night that once this project is done, I have the rest of Spring and Summer to relax and enjoy. It’s as if I am getting my homework done early and I can go out and play. I was filled with joy at the thought. Then I got paranoid. What if my brain thinks of something else to do? Oh no. What can I do to distract my brain and keep it from coming up with ideas? It’s going to be a tricky Summer. I absolutely must keep my brain uninspired so my body can take a break. I’m thinking I might be doing a lot of laundry this Summer.

Strange events which took place in 1938 lead to the present-day cold-blooded killing of a ranch hand in the remote canyon country near Moab, Utah. The only clue besides a 9-mm bullet in the victim’s head is an ancient-Indian potsherd stuck into his chest.

Deputy Sheriff Manny Rivera is assigned the case and judges it’s related to a drug deal gone bad. But he’s actually up against an intelligent and cunning adversary driven by greed who’s discovered a long-forgotten cave containing a collection of rare museum-quality Indian artifacts.

Local politicians and merchants are exerting strong pressure on the sheriff for a quick resolution to the case as the killing is threatening to disrupt the upcoming tourist season, Moab’s sole source of economic activity. After all, who would want to explore the backcountry with a killer on the loose out there?

In the end, Rivera faces an ethical dilemma: Should he enforce the letter of the law or serve the cause of justice? And a woman learns the answer to a question that’s been haunting her for seventy years.

Genre: Romance

FREE for a limited time

Even among the preternaturals that call Mythic home, gentle-hearted veterinarian Ana McKinnon is special.

Mythic’s newest citizen has a secret.

No one knows; not even the Werewolf pack that has taken her under their protection. When Ana unexpectedly receives invitation to Mythic’s most prestigious event: a masquerade ball hosted by the reclusive Vlane Masterson, she doesn’t want to go. She only accepts when she realizes that not going will draw more unwanted attention to herself than going.

It’s a good plan… until the master vampire himself finds her alone and decides to sample the goods.

Vlane awakens the morning after his annual soirée to find he’s not quite himself. The vampires are understandably concerned; anything that can render such a powerful being vulnerable can upset the delicate balance of power and fragile alliances between the various Extraordinary creatures that call Mythic home.

The last thing he remembers is partaking of a particularly lovely creature dressed as a legendary Faerie. But who is she? And why can’t he stop thinking about her? Where could she be… his mysterious Faerie?
