Alaska Transit continues the adventures of Anchorage Detective Sasha Kulaeva as she attempts to stem the flow of Afghani heroin into Alaska. Her work began in the first book in the series, Traffic North, which took Sasha to Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands, and then to Vladivostok, on the Pacific Ocean. In Alaska Transit, Sasha must return to Russia, to Chelyabinsk this time, near the Russian border with Kazakhstan. From there, she follows the drug dealers onto the TransSiberian Railroad, back to Vladivostok. It's a rough go.

Autorenporträt
My life has been peppered with amazing events and blasted by traumatic ones. I've been a teacher, a farmer, a fisherman, a writer/editor, a nurse's assistant, and a B and B owner. I've sold women's shoes and men's wallets. I've hawked newspapers in traffic, soda-jerked malts, and when I was thirteen, I had my first forty-hour/week job - boxing cough syrup on an assembly line for a buck an hour, while the Mexican women down the line made twenty cents less than I. The beginnings of political consciousness.I've lived as both a communist and a capitalist. I've hitchhiked across Europe several times, been a paratrooper, raced sled dogs on the frozen tundra, and won a prestigious national prize. I've written and produced award winning video documentaries for Public Television. I have not run for public office - my unelectability the main problem. I have two MAs: one in Russian Literature and one in Special Education/Gifted and Talented. It's that second one that took me to bush Alaska and to a life of intense romance and insane adventure. I married there and my wife and I raised our daughter and son in that boreal backwater. We now live in Anchorage, where I split my time between gardening, writing, and teaching Tai Chi. I've written two crime thrillers: Traffic North: Crime on the Alaska - Russia Border, and Alaska Transit. Both books feature an intrepid but flawed Anchorage policewoman dealing with murder, mayhem, and the Mafia. I've also published a collection of short stories: Nothing Sacred showcases eighteen of my partly serious, mostly absurdly humorous stories.
