EDITORIAL REVIEW
For me to stay up turning pages is rare. This story moves and keeps moving. It got under my skin. There is an attention to small things, an attention to details that takes you right into the scene as if you’re there, yet the story never drags, or at least it didn’t for me, despite only having one dog instead of lots like the author’s other series. And what a dog! This boy is a good, smart dog, smarter than his person. I really was hooked all the way through. Highly recommend. —Larry Hubbard, beta reader

NOVELS IN THE WORKS

 

Coercive Power, Book 2 of The King & Midnight K-9 MysteriesCoercive Power, Book 2 of The King & Midnight K-9 Mysteries

The book is about halfway done. What’s it about? Mike is fighting off the military’s attempt to press gang him back into service while Mogollon County land owners are besieged by what seems to be destructive behavior by rowdy teens. The hidden truth is much more insidious, though.

Critical Traces, Book 10 of The Jessica Anderson K-9 Mysteries

Critical Traces: A Jessica Anderson K-9 Mystery (The Jessica Anderson K-9 Mysteries Book 10)

eBook: FREE on Kindle Unlimited, $3.99 to buy, Print $13.99 (14pt type for easy reading)

A land use war puts Jessie, her dogs, and the entire SAR group in the middle of mayhem and murder.

An injured horseback rider, then two missing ATVers, a gunshot through the engine of one of the machines–thus begins a strange series of wildland trail incidents, all of them on the county’s public lands. When a calamity in a public park brings death and injury due to sabotage of a viewing platform, Sheriff Landon Reid shuts down all public lands. And the incidents stop …only to start again when the trails are reopened for public enjoyment and recreation.

Hikers are hurt, mountain bikers are shot, users of off-road vehicles are found injured or dead, ATVers crushed under their machines when trails are purposely changed to lead to danger, and the sheriff’s office knows they’ve now got a land use war going on, one that puts Jessie, her dogs, and the entire Search and Rescue group in the middle of mayhem and murder.

The story of a woman and her beloved SAR dogs who push their every limit to save the guilty and the innocent.

Clean, safe reading
No sex, gore, or profanity.

(And–spoiler alert–yes, dear reader, no dog dies in this book, either. 🙂 )

NO AI content, guaranteed (and no ghost writers)–never. All original D. L. Keur.

EDITORIAL REVIEW

I was asked to read this prior to its publication. I was hesitant. Then, learning what the story was about in a candid talk with D. L. Keur, the author, I went ahead. I’m a horsewoman and dog owner. I’ve lived here in Virginia my whole life, ridden horseback with my father, mother, grandfather, and with my kids. And then, mostly because of a few selfish people, I found myself banned from using trails that, for generations horsemen, including my grandfather and my father, have maintained and used. I am so heartened that somebody–this author–is bringing this to the attention of everyone she can, because our efforts to stop and reverse these decisions banning horseback riders and even dogs have fallen on deaf ears. Thank you, Ms. Keur, for writing this book. …Oh, and, hold onto your socks when you read this book, because it’s incredible. —Sam (Samantha) Miller, horsewoman, wife, proud mother, dog lover, and reader

Word and Autocorrect, Grrr!

Posted on by D. L. Keur

Want a real misery?  Word autocorrect.  No, Word, you do NOT know better than me.  Honest.  Stop changing CNA to CAN and all the rest of the stuff you know nothing at all about.  No, no, no.

More and more I’m finding MS Word thinks it knows best, when it does not.  And turning it off doesn’t seem to make it stop!!!!!  Grrrr.
