It’s been a pleasure collaborating with eight other Second Wind Publishing authors to create the mystery novel Rubicon Ranch: Riley’s Story. Many readers have been patient, reading chapter by chapter as they are released online. Now I’m thrilled to announce that Rubicon Ranch: Riley’s Story is now available for all markets.
Kudos to Second Wind Publishing for presenting another publication opportunity for Lazarus Barnhill, Eric Beetner, Nichole R Bennett, Pat Bertram, JJ Dare, Christine Husom, JB Kohl, Nancy A Niles and myself.
The Trade Paperback print version is now available from Second Wind Publishing and Amazon. E-book versions are available for the Kindle and on Smashwords.
Some of the authors of Rubicon Ranch: Riley’s Story had such a great time working on this collaboration that we’ve started Rubicon Ranch: Necropieces, book two of the ongoing saga. Once again, this novel will unfold online chapter by chapter at the Second Wind Publishing blog. Can’t wait to see what kind of mischief I can create for my character, retired Lieutenant Colonel Eloy Templeton Franklin, this time around.
Deborah J Ledford’s latest suspense novel SNARE, The Hillerman Sky Award Finalist, is book two of her Deputy Hawk/Inola Walela thriller series. STACCATO, book one of the serial, is also available. Both novels are published by Second Wind Publishing. To find out more about Deborah, receive a Free Download of the first chapters of her novels, and to read a few previously published short stories, she invites you to visit her website.



























I’m looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds! I’m glad we haven’t seen the last of Eloy. He’s a great character with depths and facets that haven’t yet been explored. Our characters live only one house apart — we should get them together sometime during this book and see what happens.
Yeah, me too, Pat. Hoping to link my Eloy and your Melanie this time around.
