Once Upon A Mountain

Beschreibung

Reporter Pat Carson flees the embarrassment of a broken engagement to return to the one place she'd vowed never to go, her coal mining home town in West Virginia. While on assignment with the local paper, she encounters a brawny hunk of a man. Ranger Allen Walker has enjoyed a quiet life on the mountain, working to ensure the safety of the land and the people working and living in the area where a gas company is drilling. His serene life is upturned on the arrival of a sassy reporter and the discovery of a hidden grave. The remains of the dead man lead to more questions than answers. Could it be the body of Allen's grandfather who vanished twenty years ago? And could the killer be the one threatening Pat's life, and her future with Allen.

Autor

Perhaps fate intervened when I was eleven- years- old and my first job was delivering newspapers in a West Virginia coal mining community. I was a coal miner's daughter whose parents were from the deep south. It was along that paper route my imagination soared, eyes absorbing seasonal beauty and talking with customers of all skin colors and ages.As a teenager I entered our newspaper contest and wrote a sales narrative on how to acquire new customers. I was a winner and received my first published byline writing about the trip I had won. This was the beginning of a sequence of career opportunities that propelled me into the journalism/media communications field.Being trained by a photographer, it led to a photo-journalist position with the local newspaper, then to news reporter. My eyes saw tragic scenes no human should witness. I know there was a guardian angel near on some dangerous stories. I wrote a weekly column and was promoted to feature editor.In 14 years as a journalist, I was honored by the Alabama Press Association for Best Column, Best Feature; responsible for the newspaper winning Best News Reporting, Best Investigative Reporting and Community Service Award. I spearheaded and co-authored "Legendary Locals of Cullman County" an Arcadia historical publication.Opting for a career change, I worked in radio and TV sales, deejayed a prime- time gospel radio show and then photographed and wrote thirty second TV commercials before retiring to write romance novels. I draw on incidents and circumstances that become an emotional base, and my characters...well they could be reflections of people I have met over the years.
