Murder of the Month combines one struggling independent bookstore, two mysterious deaths, a book club of amateur sleuths, and a one-eyed dog named Wendell. Stirred into a lethal mix, they prove to bookstore employee Jane Serrano that working in a bookstore can be murder. Take one struggling bookstore, two mysterious deaths, a book club filled with amateur sleuths, and what do you get? Murder of the Month. Working in a bookstore can be murder! The High Desert country east of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon is my home. The stark volcanic landscape--adorned by sagebrush, juniper, and wide-open spaces--calls to me like no other location. It's not an accident that all my novels have Oregon settings. My mysteries are loosely based on years of experience working at an independent bookstore in Bend. I drew inspiration for a romance novel after living in Fossil. The idea for a juvenile novel came during a beach walk on the Oregon coast. I used to teach English, but now I prefer writing my own stories. I live in idyllic Bend, Oregon. Used Book in Good Condition
