AWARDS
Paty Jager, Double Duplicity: A Shandra Higheagle Mystery is a finalist in the RONE award in the mystery category. On the eve of the biggest art event at Huckleberry Mountain Resort, potter Shandra Higheagle finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. She’s ruled out as a suspect, but now it’s up to her to prove the friend she witnessed fleeing the scene was just as innocent. With help from her recently deceased Nez Perce grandmother, Shandra becomes more confused than ever but just as determined to discover the truth. 
 
Nancy Bo Flood, Soldier Sister, Fly Home received a starred review in Publisher's Weekly. The book is a celebration of life and family, of riding horses pell-mell, and sharing secrets with a sister who is about to be deployed.  This story speaks of the beauty of the desert, the remote canyons of Navajo Country, a land of shifting sands and spirits, where dreams and reality can become one. Soldier Sister tells of the courage needed to tame a temperamental horse or to search for one's cultural identity.
