Once you've solved a couple of murders, you can easily solve another one, right? Sure, throw it on the pile. Especially when your father was seen arguing with the victim, and one of his handmade birdhouses was found beside the body. Fun and excitement are in the air! Summerfest has hit town and almost everyone is in a festive mood. The manager of the visiting carnival is on the warpath and seems to make enemies wherever he goes. When he turns up dead in a suspicious-looking accident, there are more suspects than mourners. Maiden is on the case when her father, Alfie, ends up a suspect not only for the murder but also for an anonymous threat sent to a corrupt local official. Determined to protect her dad's freedom and reputation, Maiden starts digging into the secrets of the Spencer and Spencer travelling carnival. She finds no shortage of secrets, betrayal and frustrated romance that points the finger at everyone. With Captain McAlister back on the scene the banter, and the flirtation, picks up right where it left off. But as the body count increases and equipment starts to suddenly break down, Maiden and McAlister have bigger problems than trying to hide their ever-growing attraction to each other. Join Maiden as she stumbles over another corpse and lands in a tangle of jealousy, bitterness and sabotage! Grab your copy and spend some time in Golden Glen!

Autorenporträt
I couldn't tell you how long I've been writing. The full-on pencil to paper stuff probably started around age 9 when I wrote a mystery about a hamster that stole money for housing materials. It was weird, but short. (The story, I mean. I honestly don't remember how tall the hamster was.) But the earliest days were spent crafting alternate worlds and realities while sitting in the car listening to an odd mix of country, Motown, pop and classic 80s hair bands. There was the occasional injection of Bluegrass which is in my blood, apparently, but it was never my thing. My serious storytelling began in my teens. Hidden away in my room for hours, I filled notebooks with handwritten stories. I was about 19 when I bought my first laptop. It was incredibly heavy and had all the aesthetic charms of a brick. It was awesome, and a huge step up from eraser marks, crossed out lines and doodles in the margins. I write heroines that are smart, sexy and basically kind. All the things I want to be if I ever decide to grow up. I love mysteries, romance and speculative fiction. I weave romance into pretty much all of my books, but I explore other relationships as well. Friendships and the various bonds within families are deeply important; I draw inspiration from my personal history and years of people watching. I firmly believe that books are vital, our imaginations need to be protected and cultivated and boredom, in the hands of resourceful children, breeds creativity. One of the most useful lessons I learned as a child was that if you're in a situation where you can't really conquer or surrender, stories give you the option to escape. Even if only for a few hours.
