Produktbeschreibung
Isabelle Chilton Chandler, Chicago-based author of a successful women's mystery series, has always known exactly what she wants and how to get it. But when she starts working on a new book, inspiration-for the first time ever is painfully out of her reach. Grasping at straws and under increasing pressure from her publisher, she starts to construct a plot around a world that is familiar to her: horse racing. As Isabelle's charming protagonist and alter-ego, Brenda Remington, starts to poke around a possible mystery involving racehorses used for diamond smuggling, mysterious circumstances start to arise in Isabelle's real life. Dead ends crop up everywhere Isabelle turns, and questions abound. Will Brenda solve her mystery? Why do characters from Isabelle's book keep appearing in her real life? Who is the ghostly apparition that regularly visits her in her dreams? What about Isabelle's ex-husband, Roger, with whom she has remained close-will they be able to reconcile? And then of course there is the conundrum surrounding a racehorse named Farolarr, which may just have been the perfect crime. Fast-paced, heartfelt, and funny, Bait and Switch is an exploration of life's largest commitments and a commentary on the ways we construct stories about who we are. With this work, the author of Risk Everything and It's About Time invites readers to consider their own stories and the undeniable possibility of redemption.

Autorenporträt
Frances Schepp Ruh, like the characters in It's About Time, was fortunate to join a Bridge Club made up of other young wives and mothers that survived over half a century experiencing life and bonding together to create the inspiration for this entirely fictional yet historical novel. After retiring from a twenty-five-year career in commercial real estate, Fran Ruh turned to writing and published The Schepp Family Chronicles, a highly researched history of pioneer life in Kansas. She and her husband, Ron, and their fluffy dog, Misty, live in the Midwest. They enjoy spending time at their original family home, a cattle ranch on Deep Creek in the rugged Flint Hills of Kansas. In It's About Time Fran continues her theme of transition and redemption found in her other novels. Fran can be reached directly at riskeverything2248@gmail.com.
