Judgment Fire, Coming Soon

The latest in the Deputy Tempe Crabtree series, Judgment Fire, is planned to debut in August. Besides investigating the murder of a battered wife, she'll be calling back memories of her painful high school years.

Tempe's book is called Judgement Fire and the Rocky Bluff one is Smell of Death. As far as trips, our next one is to Mayhem in the Midlands in Omaha.
