Back Blurb – Some secrets are too dangerous to keep

After losing her husband to a deadly illness, Julia Butler is determined to look after her family, but this is the 1930’s and times are tough for everyone. As the endless string of jobless men trudges past her farm, she does her best to hang on. Then two strangers suddenly appear at her home. They are hiding something that places her family in immediate danger.

Dr. Will Stofford has become disillusioned with women. In an effort to heal his broken heart, he leaves his brothers behind and sets up his medical practice in the Kootenays where no one knows him.

Meeting Julia throws his plans into chaos. Will can’t turn his back on a challenge and he won’t rest until he solves this puzzle and puts things right.

In the 1930’s, can a country doctor and a determined widow save the lives of these abandoned strangers?

This is just the sort of story I enjoy – ordinary people who struggle through the depression and hardships weathering the ups and downs that life throws at them, contending with small town living where everyone knows everybody’s business. A thoroughly enjoyable read.  Amazon reviewer

Moon Shine by Sylvie Grayson

The story takes place in rural Canada during 1930’s. Times are tough especially for a widow living on a farmstead on the outskirts of town with two young children to bring up. This is a well written story, characters have depth, the writing flows and the reader feels as though they know everybody involved. It covers the poverty and hardships families suffer from the depression, social prejudice and illegal activities. 

This is just the sort of story I enjoy – ordinary people who struggle through the depression and hardships weathering the ups and downs that life throws at them, contending with small town living where everyone knows everybody’s business. A thoroughly enjoyable read.  Amazon reviewer

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU

 

Owls left a gift?

We found a gift on our mat on the patio that leads to the door into the house. It looks like an item that has been regurgitated, but once had a tail, hair and a head. A mouse perhaps? There were two gifts actually, the second one smaller and not as recognizable as the first.

We think it might have been an owl, just not sure why he was doing his business on our patio. We have great horned owls around here, with their whoo-whoo-whowho calls, as well as other varieties. These gifts are just new to us.

Yes, I have a picture. No, I’m not going to post it here– too gory to share, I’m afraid. Does anyone have any idea as to what this is or where it might have come from? What else besides an owl would swallow a mouse, partially digest it, then regurgitate it?

Back blub — Be careful who you trust!

Katy Dalton worked hard to save her money. And having her friend Bruno invest it seemed like a safe bet. But her job disappears and she needs her money back, everything Bruno has already loaned to Rome Trucking. When Katy insists he return it, Bruno stops answering his phone and bad things start to happen.

Brett Rome is frustrated. The last thing he wants to do is leave a promising career in hockey to come home and run his ailing father’s trucking company. What he discovers is not the successful business that he remembers, but one that is teetering on the very edge of bankruptcy and a young woman demanding the return of the money she invested.

With the company in chaos, Brett hires her. But danger lurks in the form of Bruno’s dubious associates. What secret are they hiding and why are they willing to kill Katy? Can Brett put this broken picture back together, and is Katy part of the solution or the problem?

A thrilling roller coaster of a story…

What readers say about Suspended Animation

5 Stars- Like watching a movie- Ms. Grayson writes so well that I feel like I am watching everyone as the action takes place! The scenes are detailed and the characters are so descriptive that I almost feel like I know these people and have shared time with them. There is some great action and romance to warm everyone up while enjoying this read on a cold day. I have read several books by Ms. Grayson , from romance and mystery through science fiction in the Khandarken Last War series, and have loved them all. I so look forward to reading her next books as she writes from the wonderful West coast.
