The Butterfly Farm
Newly widowed Harriet MacIver has just taken on her first travel writing assignment–rating an adventure cruise in the Caribbean. Add a gaggle of college students on a mini semester-at-sea voyage, a rusting hulk of a ship that misses more ports than it makes, and two deaths by poisonous butterfly, and Harriet is off and running on a hair-raising adventure. And that’s before two coeds, Kate and Carly, go missing–Carly being her boss’s daughter.
Pulled into a dangerous web of bioethical intrigue, Harriet races against time. If the killer isn’t stopped, Kate and Carly will die–and that may only be the beginning of his plans for destruction.
With scant clues and fewer resources, Harriet must track down the college girls–and outmaneuver a murderer who is only part of an elaborate plot of medical madness. Travel writing certainly isn’t what Harriet thought it would be.
Tangled Vines – (the sequel to Distant Bells)
When beloved mystery writer Theodora Whimple disappears from the seaside village of Pelican Bay, California, her grandniece K.C. Keegan, publisher of the small town’s newspaper, sets out to find her.
The trail leads to the sun-drenched Napa Valley, where K.C. joins forces with Sheriff Elliot Gavin, an old flame. When they discover the Angels Crest vineyard is a front for a New Age cult, K.C. and Gav don hooded robes and infiltrate the cult in search of Theodora. But will their daring escapade entangle them in a sinister web of power and intrigue from which there is no escape?
Distant Bells
K.C. Keegan and Elliot Gavin — or Gav, as K.C. affectionately calls him — are in Granada, Spain, for their dream wedding. But their dream is rudely interrupted when the cult Gav’s been studying turns out to be a sophisticated group planning a government takeover.
No one guesses that beneath the dark robes, dozens of somber hooded figures joining Easter week processions are carrying weapons instead of crosses. No one, that is, except K.C. and Gav. But will they put the puzzle together in time?
