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.

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

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Mysteries are mental mazes, and this one had me going …and going. First, I couldn’t see the connection …and, even when the characters made the connection for me, it took till the end for me to slap my forehead and groan. Well done, D. L. Keur. And, as usual, the book tears at your heart and makes you laugh, too. And then, of course, there’s the consequences to BOTH my dog’s and my diet. The food!! Beware the food scenes! —L. L. Alexander, freelance editor

I am so glad that somebody believes in good and, no matter what, kept going to find the missing. I was so afraid, but, when the end came, the rewards were worth the nail-biting tension. A really good read! —Joanne Robinson, mystery lover

I think what I like best about this author’s work is that the handling is consistently real. I went back and read the first four that I had not read before being asked to beta read number 5, Dead Falls, and reading that in beta, before editing, I was hooked. So when number six came my way, I jumped in. This author knows her world, her characters, and the life and story situations are so real it makes one wonder if this isn’t actually non-fiction dressed as fiction. I really feel like, were I to travel to Idaho and chase them down, they’d be there real-time. Troubled Pursuit is an excellent book and a great continuation of a great series. —Mark Peterson, crime and mystery reader

Gravy Days in the Country

Posted on by D. L. Keur

September and October are my favorite months. Yes, there’s November looming with its scramble to batten down the hatches, but September and October are those months where summer work is mostly done, and I can sit down and simply enjoy Earth.  Sure, there’s a bit of cleanup and tidying yet to do, but, all in all, it’s time to wallow in the relative quiet of kids gone back to school, tourists gone home — a time to embrace the Gravy Days, as my mother used to call them.

Our October this year didn’t start in gravy. There was a cold foreboding to the weather that promised a very cold, hard winter.  Everybody felt it.  Then, midway through, things changed.  And we got, not Indian Summer, but Gravy Days, all the same. Last fall clean-ups in pleasant progress and, yes, finally, the roofing crew, promised in Spring, here two days before the rains come.

My biggest project prior to November is … raking the drive and the pathways in preparation for snow removal this winter, manual clean-up necessary to get the bits of branches and fallen leaves cleared so they don’t get sucked into the snow blower with our inevitable wet snow and bind up the big machine, which, if and when that happens, makes me turn the air, not just blue, but purple with my cussing.

The Roofing Job, Done Late (Very), But Done

Hand-Raking the Drive

Halfway done (the rest, already completed, is behind me)
Three-quarters done
Done!

Site Updates and Upgrades in Progress

Posted on by D. L. Keur

Yeah. I know. It’s about time, huh! So, I’m working on EJRuek.com and CountryJames.com, then it will be DLKeur.com right after. Then, I’ll see about revitalizing Aeros’ site. Meanwhile, I did release another E. J. Ruek book. I just never got around to posting it up here on this, my main website. It’s titled Slightly Disturbing Stories and those folks who’ve read it seem to really, really like it.
