Cold Scent, Book 8 of the Jessica Anderson k-9 Mysteries

RELEASED: Dec 20, 2023

COLD SCENT on Amazon

An angry mother, two missing persons, and it’s personal. Jessie and her dogs are on a cold trail.

It’s coming Christmas in the Bitterroots when cross country skiers turn up lost, and Jessie and her dogs are on a cold trail as acts of vengeance begin to mar the peace. Kidnapping, arson, and attempted murder pit Jessie Anderson and Sheriff Landon Reid against the elements and unknown assailants, the dogs their allies and support in fending off the acrimony of revenge.

The story of a woman and her beloved search and rescue dogs who, working together, save lives.

AUTHOR’S NOTE TO HER READERS: You’ve asked repeatedly, and I’ve listened. So, here, in this tale of Christmas, I share with you some of the secrets held so close by both families, the Andersons and the Reids. Not all things do I share, but things that I would normally have, over the course of the series, just dropped in passing, things I might have only alluded to, I have, for you, exposed—a bit of the backgrounds of the what and why both Jessie and Landon have their scars …along with their aspirations, determination, and strength.

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

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

Game Trail, Book 7 of the Jessica Anderson k-9 Mysteries

RELEASED: Nov 5, 2023

GAME TRAIL on Amazon

Jessie’s dogs are hot on track when unknown assailants hit the Bitterroot.

Three shots, two hunters near death from blunt force trauma delivered by an unknown attacker …or two …or more.  Somebody is hunting hunters …with high-powered, customized paintball rifles.  An anti-hunting campaign?  That’s what it seems.  And the assailants carry real guns, too.

When two Search and Rescue personnel out endurance training are also hit, that makes it personal for Jessie.  Yet another attack leaves multiple victims critically injured, and one dead—same MO.  Now it’s murder.

Conspiracy, murder, and mayhem pit Jessie and her dogs, along with Sheriff Landon Reid and his deputies against attackers playing a dangerous endgame.

The story of a woman and her beloved dogs determined to save lives, no matter the odds.

JA 6, Troubled Pursuit, is done. Heading soon to editors.

Jessica Anderson Book 6 cover. Just an update to say that, yes, Troubled Pursuit, Book 6 of the Jessica Anderson K-9 mystery series, is done. I’m doing an audio (outloud) reading of it right now, then it will be on to editors. It’s still on pre-order at Amazon, but I’m hoping it’s out by mid-July for you. And, in other news, JA 7 is already started.

Troubled Pursuit-I’m Having an Awesome Time Writing It For You.

Jessica Anderson Book 6 cover. The book has been full of surprises for me as an author. The police procedural part got written straight through …except for the very tense ending which I tend to avoid doing until there’s no other choice …because it takes me hours to recover from the stress. (Authors, at least this author, live the scenes as they write them, so your body’s adrenaline rush gets to you.)

The book is already on pre-order and it says it has a release date of mid-August. I’m planning on a much sooner release, but we’ll see, won’t we?

Meanwhile, it’s been a real kick experiencing the ongoing SAR and HRD ops that Jessie and her wonder mutts execute, sometimes with the whole team involved. And Landon? People keep throwing wrenches into his attempt to keep an ordered life, especially his new house guest, Dr. Sol Preston!

This update happened because I just finished another scene that thrilled me!

Okay. Back to your regular activities, now, as I get back to writing. 🙂

For Those Wondering …Yes, More Books are Coming

For those of you wondering, yes, there are many more books coming in the Jessica Anderson K-9 Mystery series. I’m in the middle of book 6, right now, but also working with another author on a different series …that also includes a dog–a bull mastiff (wonderful dogs, those, by the way). I know that everybody wants more. And there are more. Jessie’s story is ongoing …as Search and Rescue is ongoing and Jessie and her dogs are skilled and dedicated to seeking out the missing! Hugs, Dawn, the author.
