Book 2: (back cover)

It is going to take more than disaster recovery skills for Lorna to survive what shook loose on Ohlone Island after this latest earthquake!

Nestled in the heart of the San Francisco Bay, Ohlone Island has a little something for everyone: beaches, bakeshops, espionage, tennis courts, fraud, book clubs, murder…

Lorna stood frozen in frustration in the newly sloping kitchen. How could she have slept through a 4.7 earthquake? Instead of standing there like a melting popsicle, Lorna drags her best friend, Annie, to join the island’s Disaster Relief Club, where Lorna promptly falls on top of a dead body. That doesn’t worry Annie, “Lorna’s like a yo-yo, she gets to the end of her rope and pops back up.” But when the dead body disappears and Lorna is arrested for assault, possibly framing Lorna for murder, Annie realizes someone in the club has a lot more at stake than just preparing for an emergency.

The second book of the O Line Mystery series, The Disaster Relief Club reveals the hidden agendas and escalating tensions in the island’s public and private sectors.

Book 1:

For our fellow O Line riders, the series will be an expanded version of The O Line Mysteries podcast, taking us back to the beginning when Lorna and Sally first moved to Ohlone Island and the series of unfortunate events that led to meeting the mysterious Michael and the converging circumstances that led to murder.

For the new audience, the series introduces the suspenseful mysteries in the classical cozy style surrounding an island in the San Francisco Bay. Complete with local West Coast characters and red-herrings the series progresses from the cozy to the espionage thriller. Shocking revelations, the death of a lead character, a cross continental quest, and a tangled government operation all await our O Line riders.

The first book in the series, Saint Charles Place, introduces our series characters, the island setting, and the converging plot lines that lead to murder.

The re-release of Lorn’a satirical self-help book:

Both of these will go on sale after April 20, 2012.

During a recent conversation I heard my friend describing The O Line to a new acquaintance thusly: “It’s like Tales of the City and Scooby Doo but with an undercurrent of North by Northwest - ya’ know, ordinary man in extra ordinary circumstances.” I blinked, thought for a beat, and nodded. Who am I to correct what someone else takes away from a book? I took the statement in the way it was intended, a compliment.
