The Flying Horse Caper

The Flying Horse Caper

My second and new book is out! You can find The Flying Horse Caper on Amazon and also on Barnes and Noble.

This mystery is set near beautiful Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on a horseback riding ranch. You’ll love meeting Dr. Kat Lamar, an equine veterinarian with an unbridled tendency to go forth into the midst of danger to save her family’s ranch. It’s a good thing Cade Crocker is there to steer her to safety and unravel the tangled webs of deceitful villains honing in on the Flying Horse Ranch.

Stay Tuned for My Book Release

Meet my new character, veterinarian, Dr. Kat Lamar, starring in my new book, The Flying Horse Caper. She’s confident, maybe too confident, as she joins her family’s horse ranch, because soon, unexpected events begin upsetting her perfectly ordered life. Someone has begun down a path of destruction to ruin the Flying Horse Ranch, and she’s determined to unmask the culprit. But can she do it alone?

Meet my new characters–Lady veterinarian Kat Lamar of the Flying Horse Ranch and Cade Crocker as the new foreman. Kat needs Cade—his steadiness complements her impetuous nature, and Cade needs Kat. She prods his more plotting nature into plunging ahead.

The Flying Horse Caper

Bad luck, sleuthing, and misfortunes abound for Kate Lamar, a veterinarian working at her family’s troubled horse ranch. Cade Crocker, the foreman hired to turn the ranch into a profitable venture, left his previous job under a cloud of suspicion, blamed for the death of a valuable stallion. Someone is putting the Flying Horse Ranch out of business and setting off a series of sabotage mishaps. A wild stallion, drawn to the mares on the ranch, is the objective of a disreputable newcomer claiming the stallion is his. A stable fire, like the one at Cade’s last botched job, occurs on the Flying Horse and starts him on the trail of the arsonist and horse thief. Kat comes face to face with her fear of losing a horse at a treacherous waterfall and chooses to face her fear, and Cade, by her side, goes after the man who once outwitted him. Together, they put their past defeats behind and go bravely forward to thwart the outlaw and save the stallion.

The Seaside Painting Caper anniversary

It’s almost the one-year anniversary of my first published book. I’m so thankful and amazed at this great feat. I’m diligently writing my second novel.

The Seaside Painting Caper is a “breezy debut novel” as noted in the Kirkus Reviews. My character, Trina, takes a much-needed break from her museum job and travels to Catamara, a beach resort town, to work in the family’s Hidden Treasure Gift Shop.

Trina is intrigued with a missing 100 year old painting–a dark angel painting–and twin to its magnificent white angel painting hanging in Catamara’s oldest church. Her sleuthing efforts are joined by Daniel, who helps her search through the twisting rooms and stairways of the church.

She soon finds herself embroiled in an art forgery scheme and enlists her friends to help draw out the culprits.

You’ll enjoy my sunny beach story amid summer’s white sand, blue skies, surfing waves and tide-pool adventures as Trina reacquaints herself with God’s abiding love and direction in her life.

Read for pleasure.

My Book is Coming Out Soon

I’m so excited and thrilled to have a book published! Can’t wait to see it in print.

It’s all about  a young woman who’s at a low point in her life. She flees to a family haven in a small beach town along California’s coast. The story is a light-hearted mystery with some romance and spirituality.
