My second mystery novel set in the High Sierra is now out!

A couple of folks have asked how I started writing these...

I wrote the first one of these a few years ago for my daughter, who was living abroad and complained about not having enough to read. OK, I thought, I've been telling you stories since you were a baby, I can tell you one more. And I wrote it about the Sierra because if I was going to spend hours and hours thinking about some place, it might as well be a place I love.

Well, she loved it. And so did her older sister, who wanted one of her own. So I wrote the second one, inviting the same characters to join me again. Now it's become a tradition, and I write a new one every holiday season...it's kind of a Christmas gift for them each year.

Cool! Love to know what you think...and then how you like the second one compared to the first.

I promise that at least occasionally you'll feel like you're up in the Sierra...

Hmmm. Not sure what you are seeing there. It may have to do with your browser? It's just a link to the Amazon page where the book is for sale. I know others have purchased through it...

But it's also available at Barnes & Noble.
