Contemporary Ozark Fiction

Three Complete Suspense Novels

Canaan Camp

      This, the third of the stories is the first set in Blue Creek.  Richard and Jill Carter have moved to Hawthorn County where he works as a "road deputy" while she teaches at the local community college.  For background see the excerpt from Cold Tears, the second novel.  It cannot be posted for contractual reasons.  The villain in this story is a sadistic sociopath hiding from a nationwide manhunt.  Richard is obsessed with finding him despite the fact that no one else thinks he is in the area.

 

Secret Song

 

     This,the fourth of the stories begins with the wrapping up of  a very old case. It is a story of obsession, compassion, and misplaced trust.  A small act of kindness turns into a dangerous and unconscious entanglement.

The Kingsnake

 (Posted February 28, 2012)

      The fifth story, "The Kingsnake" is both a mystery concerned with a different sort of obsession, and a suspense story involving a series of drug related sniper assassinations.  One of them becomes personal to Richard.  The story comes to rip roaring climax on the Ozark Scenic Waterway's Eleven Point River. 

 

   

In The Works

        I plan to offer the Blue Creek Novels in an e-reader format, beginning with the introductory novel, Bonne Femme.  There are currently ten novels with another in the process of being written.  As each is edited and formatted for publication, it will be posted here.  For the forseeable future three free novels will be offered here.  As each is taken down, a new one will take its place.
