Blue Creek Novels

Three Complete Books

 

NEWS

Bonne Femme is being edited for e-publication.

Soon it will be removed from this site and replaced by another novel, the fifth in the series. 


 

Bonne Femme

          The first of the Richard Carter/Blue Creek novels.  It takes place in Breton County, Michigan and on the island of Bonne Femme, but leads Richard to Glenville, West Virginia and Cassville, Missouri (near Blue Creek in the Ozarks where the rest of the stories are set.)  All the stories are novels of obsession albeit of different sorts.  This novel is "twofer" in that sense.

This novel is being edited for publication.

 

Canaan Camp


        This is the third of the stories and the first set in and around Blue Creek.  (Unfortunately the second novel, Cold Tears cannot be posted because of contractual obligations.)  The Carters (Richard and Jill) have moved to Hawthorn County where he works as a "road deputy" while she teaches at the local community college.  The villain in this story is of course obsessed, and Richard is obsessed with finding him.

 

Secret Song

         This is the fourth of the stories.  This is the first of the stories posted on this site that is mystery as well as suspense.  It begins with the wrapping up of a very old case.  This is story of obsession, misplaced trust, and a small act of kindness turning into a dangerous and unconscious entanglement. 

   

What's In The Works

          In the near future I plan to begin offering the Blue Creek Novels in an e-reader format.  When that happens I plan to convert this site to a supplement to the novels, providing a list and descriptions of places and characters in the series.  There are currently ten novels with another in the process of being written.  Be assured that I do not intend to eliminate the free novels entirely.  Although the current novels will be removed, this site will contain the full text of additional titles as they are edited.  I also intend to provide brief descriptions of each novel (without giving away the plot or otherwise spoiling the reading experience.)

          As always, advice and comment is welcomed and appreciated.
