Color Me Red

The blurb from the back page - Anger and Politics strike the small town of Meadow Creek, Montana with a vengeance, giving rise to a communal battle. Sluggish economics, demanding school systems and the population changing from rural to wealthy urban create problems in Meadow Creek. Color Mr Red makes a statement about good teachers, rural America and the preservation of a unique way of life. This book is dedicated to good teachers. There are many in our society, but little attention is paid to them in the modern world. The story takes place in 1990 and is part adventure, part mystery and part a look at modern small town life. Readers across the country have written or called me asking if I was writing about their town, so there has been a universal appeal to this story.
