keep out

 

Redevelopment is moving forward in Cedar Grove. Construction is everywhere and conflicting opinions of the future of the city begin to clash. And Kaitlyn is right in the middle of it.

Settle in for a new PG-rated amateur sleuth mystery adventure with Kaitlyn, her sexy cop boyfriend Sam, and of course Wally the cat.

What if Stephanie Plum joined the cast of “Parks and Recreation”?

Fans of Lucky O’Toole and Fortune Redding will love Kaitlyn Willis, dedicated community servant and budding amateur sleuth who takes on the “Pacific Northwest” in this funny, friendly, PG-rated amateur sleuth mystery.

 

Meet the Author

Hello! I’m Leslie. I’m a writer and reader, a teacher and a lifelong learning student. I love anything related to words, books, movies, and writing. I believe in authors and helping would be authors get started.

When not writing mystery and romance novels, I can be found volunteering for writer events, leading Write Night, a weekly facilitated writing critique group, teaching beginning writing in adult ed, correcting others’ grammar, talking about writing, thinking about writing, and once in a while, sleeping!

Mostly, I believe in connections. In people meeting people. We can all help each other and make each other better. Good connections are win/win relationships. We help each other and we’re in it together.

Keep on reading!

Leslie
