    About this ebook

    Opening an abandoned ice chest on a lonely Nevada highway might be her worst decision yet.

    According to her former boyfriend in Salt Lake City, Laurie Bevin isn't good at anything. With her meager possessions and newly minted degree in American History, she puts her pride in the trunk of her aging Celica and heads home. Not eager to admit failure to her successful LA parents, she takes the back roads through Nevada. Her curiosity leads to a carjacking … and possibly worse.

    Forest ranger Jeff Dawson is dedicated to the only thing in his life for the past eight years—his job. The isolated stretches of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest suit him just fine. Except today there's a killer loose in the region he guards. No matter what, he plans to set things to right.

    Faced with a madman who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, Laurie needs to call on all her inner resources if help doesn't get to her in time. Will Jeff be able to outsmart the killer, or will he become a victim, too?

    Chasing the Tumbleweed is a very short suspense story with an undercurrent of romance. If you like Western suspense with a woman in danger who must help save herself, you'll enjoy this book.

    Buy Chasing the Tumbleweed and get swept up in a mid-day snack of suspense.
