Three Marys
A Wild Horses Mystery
A serial killer is loose in gold country.
Crime reporter Eleanor Wooley is covering the annual Mother's Day Rodeo when wildfire breaks out and a dead woman is pulled from the Little Bear River. The rural Gold Strike community turns inward. Eleanor, her instincts heightened, worries that this year's Rodeo Queen may be the next victim. During a high-Sierra excursion to Me-Wuk sacred grounds, in a last-chance effort to save the free-flowing Bear River from being dammed, wildfire breaks out, again, stoking fears of another murder.
Eleanor is spurred to action, assisted by her former foe, Anishinaabe wilderness guide Leonard Parker. In the aftermath of crises and chaos, a wild stallion Eleanor and rancher Easton Jode rescued from slaughter restores joy to their lives after living under the shadow of death.
Peopled with a cast of earthy, soulful characters, Three Marys ventures into parts of Western culture as remote to the modern world as a rutted country road.

Eleven Stolen Horses
A Wild Horses Mystery
Eleanor Wooley is determined to start her life over in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
But when her new best friend suddenly disappears, Eleanor abandons her job as a crime reporter for The Gold Strike Tribune and sets off in desperate pursuit.
Spurred by gut instinct, Eleanor soon leaves California and scours Northeastern Nevada during one of the hottest, driest summers on record. Obscure signs appear—an intruder’s dire warning, a casino’s mysterious graffiti, a random sighting of a killer on the run.
In her search to find Rette, Eleanor discovers the dark world of today’s inhumane treatment of wild horses, and when the secrets of her trusted best friend’s past begin to surface, Eleanor finds herself in grave danger. With the backdrop of the American West’s high desert wilderness and its towering, rugged mountains and vast open range, Eleanor is forced to decide if continuing her search for Rette is worth losing her own life.
