The 20th Owen McKenna is in the pipeline and due out August 1st! Yay! Who woulda thought when the first book, Tahoe Deathfall, came out 21 years ago, that I'd make it to #20. Was it dumb luck? Or dogged persistence? No. It was you readers supporting and cheering me on for two decades. Thank you so much!
In Tahoe Moon, Detective Owen McKenna finds a lost girl, 8-year-old Camille Dexter. She's waiting at a hotel near Northstar Resort for her grandfather, Grandpa Charlie, to come and pick her up. McKenna tries to talk to her but finds out she's deaf. McKenna and his friend Sergeant Santiago learn that her grandfather has died, crushed by a tree that he apparently felled as a job earning money as a tree cutter.
As McKenna pursues figuring out what to do with Camille, he runs into the meanest, sickest bad guy he's ever met, a man who may be a hired killer.
The action in Tahoe Moon is as intense as Camille Dexter is sweet. I think readers will grow to care very much about her life, her hopes, and her dreams. Deaf from birth, she's never heard spoken language. But she's learned to talk very well. She's a brilliant kid and is also learning Spanish and French in American Sign Language. Having lost her only family, her heartbreaking dilemma is countered by her determination and grit.
I will be doing a bunch of events at book stores and libraries. And it will also be available on Kindle. Here is the Kindle Pre-order page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09V33F6KF/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p2_i7
