The Mad Folk of Falconer: Harley Firebird, #4
()
About this ebook
Everyone in Falconer is going crazy.
Harley von Canmore is a firebird, and Police Chief of the tiny town of Falconer, in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Harley's town is nearly all Old Race people, which creates challenges she never faced as a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer.
It is Imbolc—St. Brigid's Day—and a peculiar madness seems to be infecting everyone in Harley's town. She figures it might be because they're starving in a way only the Old Ones could suffer. When the madness strikes the town's shot-gun wielding mayor, who is purely human, Harley must figure out the root of the problem before the whole town tears itself apart…
The Mad Folk of Falconer is part of the Harley Firebird urban fantasy series of novelettes, which is set in the same world as Taylen Carver's Magorian & Jones series.

Praise for Taylen Carver's urban fantasy:
Plenty of exciting twists and turns.
Feel the tingling of danger, the aha's of escaping death, and the excitement of magic
I loved this and will continue on with the series.
A very satisfying first book for a new series
blends the paranormal and the thriller/suspense you expect in a who done it crime story
Love the heroine
The story is filled with many interesting characters, and I'm sure throughout the series we will learn more about them and their new Sheriff and I can't wait to read all about them.
The author packs this short story with plenty of action and suspense.
Do yourself a big favor and be sure to read the entire series.

THE STORY SO FAR…
Harley von Canmore is a firebird, one of the rarest of the Old Races. The Old Races are former humans who survived the Tutu virus, only to metamorphose into other creatures. Goblyns, who are called orcs in North America, are the most common. There are also hobgoblins, dwarves, fae, angels, dryads, dragons, salamanders, sirens, avancs and water leapers, each aligned with one of the elements; Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
The town of Falconer, in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, had a population of one thousand people. Without exception, all contracted the Tutu virus. Now the residents are becoming Old Ones, without official status in Canada and scrambling to survive. The town’s mayor, Akicita Frazier, hires Harley to police the town.
Harley was a decorated Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer before her change. She resents the loss of that career and is in denial about her new life as a firebird. She also serves two masters; the law, which she has sworn to uphold, and Campbell von Havre, a dragon elemental to whom firebirds are subject. Her cop instincts tell her Campbell is not the simple businessman he appears to be, but he does seem to put the good of Falconer first.
Campbell seems taken with Harley on a personal level, but Harley knows their disparate ethics will clash sooner or later. In the meantime, she must maintain the law, while learning to use her new skills to do it, even though the work challenges all her beliefs and ethics.
Now read on…
THE MAD FOLK OF FALCONER
A water leaper was sitting on the doorstep of the Lord of the Rinse laundromat, eating a steaming bowl of noodles and vegetables, when Harley walked to work that morning. The leapers’ wings were tucked in behind her, sitting neatly in the corner of the deep doorway. Her legs stretched out, her ragged mukluks, patched and darned, pushed up
