Inspirations, thoughts by Minnesota author and flight attendant
I’ve just finished writing two new books, which is my explanation for not writing any recent blogs. I will not be immediately publishing them on Amazon, Smashwords, or Barnes and Noble, as I’m sending queries to agents first.
The first book is in the Lucy Ruediger Series, which you can find on my website, https://www.egnerink.com/lucy-ruediger-mystery-series/ It’s entitled “Outrageous Claims.” Police Detective Ruediger learns of a sudden wave of middle-management and mid-level executives losing their jobs. When it’s learned that an instigator is behind the dismissals, drastic means are taken to hush up the story. Drastic means? Are we talking murder? Oh, and money, lots of money.
My next is the second book in the Corky Allen newspaper reporter series. If you read “Scotoma,” https://www.amazon.com/Scotoma-Susan-Egner-ebook/dp/B00AF002YY/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=Susan+Egner&qid=1592508743&sr=8-12 you already know that Allen is always hot-on-the-trail to right wrongs when covering a news story. In this story, entitled “North Star Tribe,” she stumbles upon the disappearance of a child in Superior National Forest while covering another assignment, a story about the photography team called North Star Tribe. Ancient legends from Minnesota’s indigenous people come to life in the fears of the residents of Two Harbors, Minnesota–myths that involve Big Foot, the Witch of November, and the blood-thirsty Wendigo. And did I mention death masks and burial mounds?
I hope you’ll keep a lookout for these two books and also read my newest book published in February. “Capitol Gold,” is my latest book in the Souls on Board series. I hope you’ll take a look, as well as watch for the two others. And, as always, I’m grateful for your reviews.
Casey Click meets award-winning actress, Kathryn Swift, on a flight and is offered a television documentary based on the life of a very senior flight attendant. At the same time, homemaker Bertie, accepts a position as campaign manager, in a fight against corruption. The two paths collide in Oregon’s Cascade Mountains when a corrupt Senator tries to outsmart the brilliance of Casey and her three, sleuthing friends.
I explained the meaning of Kintsugi in my last post. As you can tell by my cover art, it may apply to the government. No spoiler alert, but gold can go two ways. Gold can represent the highest standards of performance; a golden standard, OR, Gold can represent Greed with a capital G.
Please cast your vote for your favorite book cover and, if you wish, give your thoughts on the two choices. All votes and comments should be posted in the comment section on my blog at egnerink.com. Deadline to vote is Friday, January 21st.
