This small town of Lost Gorge hides plenty of secrets, including what happened to a missing mountain biker. This is one secret someone is willing to kill to protect. Twenty-year-old Keenley Davis was supposed to be home by dinner, but darkness descends with no sign of her. Maybe her bike broke down; maybe she fell and got injured.

When it becomes painfully apparent she didn’t go missing on her own, suspicions abound in the small town. Her parents know their daughter and her survival skills. If there was a way for her to get home on her own, she would. The sheriff knows the town and its many secrets. Plenty of folks in this remote region have pasts to hide. Keen knows whoever attacked her and left her for dead in the wilderness won’t let her come out alive. Who will find her first? A new and updated edition of Fall Hunter: A Lost Gorge Mystery

Snow Stalker

2018

Mina Park, a river guide/ski instructor/part-time deputy/whatever-pays-the-bills-this-month, stumbles upon the remains of a human body in the snow at the local ski resort. Something had ripped it into pieces, leaving behind only one track, a bare footprint. A footprint twice the size of a normal man’s. Before the authorities can label the death an animal attack or murder, a bunch of Bigfoot crazies descend on the town in hopes of finally spotting the elusive beast. One man in particular, Ryan Lehman, has experienced something like this before and was branded a fanatic and a liar for claiming Bigfoot committed the crime. He’s been chasing the myth and personal vindication ever since. Mina doesn’t believe in myths, but she does believe in murder. And when there’s another death, much closer to home, Mina and Ryan must team up despite their differences, to face down the beast—or the beast in the man—before someone else dies.
