FINDER is basically a humorous mystery but it does have a little romance thrown in the mix. I thought of my friend, Chris Keys when I got this good review because Chris keep telling everyone, that persistence is the most important trait of a writer. And he’s right because….I wrote FINDER over 10 years ago. I took it to critique groups, and changed it. I showed it to friends – and changed it again. Yes, I tried to sell it but…it was no go, so I put it under the bed and went on to my next masterpiece.
But,you know what? I always loved that book! No matter how many times I read and re-read it, parts of FINDER made me laugh. So, I took it out again and wrote the book I wanted to write. I didn’t ask for opinions, I didn’t waffle, I wrote my book I sold it! Here’s a little blurb to pique your curiosity
FINDER Blurb
All her life, Carol Reston has wanted to be a published author. She’s looking for a dynamite idea for a novel that will sell when her husband, David suggests she look into a series of women missing from their small town of Oakdale, a suburb of San Diego. Carol decides to investigate the disappearances and write a fictionalize account. David takes their overweight dog, Chauncy for a walk but soon blasts through the front door telling Carol he found a dead body. Her response? Cool, that might just work. But David’s not kidding.
Carol is both horrified and fascinated by the thought of a dead body, and as a lover of mysteries, she’s thrilled to be so close to the police action. Whose body is it, and more importantly, what did she die from? The police aren’t talking. Carol sets out to follow clues determined to track down the women. She becomes so involved with her search she doesn’t realize her husband is acting strangely until it’s almost too late. Could David be having an affair? What about her best friend, Elizabeth? Carol hasn’t seen her friend in a long time and fears the dead body might be hers.
With the help of her thrice-divorced, martini-drinking, Jaguar-driving, world-traveling Aunt Sissy Montgomery, Carol locates all the women and discovers the identity and cause of death of the body in the hills. In the end, Carol has a book contract, Chauncy has a new playmate, David has his dream job and Sissy has found a new calling. She’s a Finder.
