About the Book

When Valerie agreed to donate a few weekends to help her bookseller friend sort and catalog a private library, someone from her childhood reentered her life again.

A wounded but recovering soldier, formerly stationed in Iraq, had inherited the house containing the library.

Valerie’s weekends away from her book keeping business were usually spent on archaeological digs or surveys with a local university professor and his students.

The intertwining of these two groups and the sugar plantations and bayous where they all meet, cause drama, terror and a final conclusion to a mysterious disappearance.

About the Author

I write because it is fun to create characters and to invent situations that use some of my interests in the arts, archaeology and the places I have traveled. My past career was as a graphic artist and that enables me to have more fun in creating the cover art and photographs for my book. My husband and I are now retired and are living in the Southern California desert's Coachella Valley.
