Sensing Secrets

BOOK 2 OF THE TRILOGY Sometimes the journey of life takes a few strange turns. Meg Jennings used to be a reporter, but now she's a fugitive hiding out at a lakefront rental in the small town of Alpine Grove, waiting for the heat to die down. Meg shares the house with Riley O'Shea, who may or may not be her stepbrother, and his dog, Zelda. When Meg is zapped by a woman with a stun gun and thrown into a van, everything changes. Although getting to Alpine Grove was complicated, getting out might be worse. Faced with difficult choices, Meg and Riley end up on a journey to find a mysterious retreat located somewhere in the Northwest. The trip takes them from tiny hamlets to big cities where they encounter everything from digestively challenged buzzards to tone-deaf musicians dressed like Klingons having a fashion disaster. Note: Sensing Secrets is a full-length novel (300 pages/80,000 words) that is Book #2 of Jennings & O'Shea series. The correct reading order is: 1. Sensing Trouble 2. Sensing Secrets 3. Sensing Truth

FAQ About the Jennings & O'Shea Series:
 
It's a trilogy
Sensing Secrets is the second book of a trilogy. Although it is a complete story, not every thread is tied up into a neat little bow. The correct reading order is:1. Sensing Trouble2. Sensing Secrets3. Sensing Truth 
Riley and Meg are the central characters
Unlike my Alpine Grove series, the Jennings and O'Shea series focuses on Meg and Riley who continue as the main characters throughout the trilogy. The books are written from Meg's point of view and if you read extremely closely you may notice some Alpine Grove characters have walk on roles.
 
Why 1997?
The Jennings and O'Shea books spin off from the Alpine Grove series, around Book 10 (Daydream Retriever) which means they begin in 1997. Changes in technology and regulations during that time period are central to the events of the series.
