Yesterday's regret-today's deadly fix. Impulsive acts in the past return to haunt, ending in the death of a photo-journalist near the cozy mountain town of Boone, NC.

Jemma Chase, CSI wannabe, follows clues, even though her interference may cost her lover his job.

About this title

From the Author:

I love to hear from readers!  Here are some frequently asked questions and answers.How did your Appalachian Mystery Series come about?  Appalachian Adventures started with romance, then turned to murder. The original concept was 4 books, 4 male cousins, 4 seasons and 4 different sports.  I had to get the romance out of my system.  "Appalachian Paradise" is romance and backpacking. "Emeralds in the Snow" is romance, downhill skiing and a cold case mystery. "Murder at Blue Falls," my third novel (3rd male cousin, 3rd season and 3rd sport - horseback riding) changed everything. My publisher, Ingalls Publishing Group, fell in love with the two main characters and the following books are based on the fictional Blue Falls Guest Ranch in the real Triplett Valley outside the real cozy mountain town of Boone, NC.
How did you get started writing? One year I asked a woman who worked in the office if she had anything for me to read on my vacation to a dude ranch.  She gave me a Kay Hooper contemporary romance.  That year, I read 400 romances.  Then I decided that I could write one.  I joined RWA and attended meetings and the national conference.  They do an excellent job of training in the craft of writing.

What makes this novel different from others in your genre?
One unique aspect of my novels is that some of the minor characters are real people.  I have permission to use their names and photographs.  Yes, there are pictures in the novels.  Also, many of the settings are real such as the waterfall and cave in Triplett Valley which exist where I live.
