關於這本電子書
In book 10 (The Unexpected Resolution) Jolie solves a murder, she and Scoobie get married, and they gain a new family member--Scoobie's much-younger half-brother. Book 11 (Underground in Ocean Alley) takes place a few years later, and mystery solving is accompanied by their three-year old twins.
I promised readers they would have the story of the twins' birth -- an anything-but-calm event -- but it didn't seem right to mix it with a murder. So, we have a 33,000 word novella that features laughs and angst with the Ocean Alley crew and more than a
few surprises. A fun read with familiar characters.
關於作者
Elaine L. Orr authors three mystery series and a mix of reflective fiction and nonfiction. The Jolie Gentil cozy mystery series has eleven books, and Behind the Walls was a finalist for the 2014 Chanticleer Mystery and Mayhem Awards. The three-book River's Edge series is set in Iowa, and Demise of a Devious Neighbor was a finalist for the same award in 2017.
The Logland series began with Tip a Hat to Murder in 2016, and features a small Illinois college town. Final Operation is the third book in the series.
She also writes plays and novellas, including the one-act play, Common Ground published in 2015. Her novella, Falling into Place, tells the story of a family managing the results of an Iowa father’s World War II experience with humor and grace. Another novella, Biding Time, was one of five finalists in the National Press Club's first fiction contest, in 1993. She is especially proud of In the Shadow of Light, which features two ten-year old girls in different circumstances, both affected by the U.S. policy of separating parents and children at the U.S.-Mexico border. Gentle fiction about a difficult topic.
Elaine conducts presentations and teaches online classes on book publishing and other writing-related topics. Nonfiction includes Writing When Time is Scarce – and Getting the Work Published. Elaine grew up in Maryland and moved to the Midwest in 1994.
The book contains a poem by Miles D. Orr (1915 - 1994) -- To Our Children in Their Pursuit of Happiness. He wrote largely for enjoyment, and authored a number of poems and stories. One book of poetry and World War II letters is available as A Portrait Through Poetry: Poetry and Letters. https://www.amazon.com/dp/
