Synopsis

Right before the Christmas holidays, Detective Maggie Doyle and her prosecutor husband, Ian, put away a major drug kingpin in a Manhattan court room. When the kingpin vows revenge while behind bars—and he has the connections outside to stalk and kill Maggie and Ian—their annual Christmas get away to a rustic Vermont cabin isn’t the peaceful one they’d hoped it would be. Maggie relives the takedown that involved Allia, her canine, and Brian, her rookie partner, who was shot during the melee. While Brian is recovering, Maggie deals with the guilt that she failed to protect him. But when Maggie and Ian’s Manhattan friends arrive as their holiday guests, Maggie tries to forget that chaotic day. However, the kingpin’s threat continues to echo in her head. Now she has four people, including herself, to protect. While surrounded by Ian, Allia, and her friends, Maggie manages to get back into the holiday spirit… that is until while walking Allia outside, just before a snowstorm, Maggie falls into a snowy trap. Injured, Maggie looks up from a hole she’d fallen into, only to see the drug kingpin’s henchmen staring down at her. They got her! Knowing, Ian, and her guests are in danger, her only hope is that Allia could run back to the cabin and summon for help before it’s too late.

Canine Heroes

Canines provide multiple important, and brave roles. Some are service animals for disabled people, adults and children, guiding and taking care of them. Some provide comfort to the sick, visiting hospitals and nursing homes. And some like Allia, in Snowfall, serve in police capacity as canine "officers". They are police and military partners, risking their lives as well. In Snowfall, I purposely gave my canine character a point of view to bring to attention what bravery and loyalty canines of every breed and size exhibit. I salute everyone of you! Woof!

Book Excerpt

Snowfall

HER FIRST INSTINCT was to ravage those assholes into tiny pieces. But Allia recognized they had guns, and with her injured hind leg, she was outmatched. Instead, she crawled behind a tree and hoped her bloody trail wouldn’t lead them to finish her off.

No way. She had to get help for Maggie.

Allia waited behind the thick tree.

She listened for the men and heard their footsteps trudge farther away. Then none. They were gone. She had to hurry to save Maggie.

Allia hobbled in the snow.

Why did she go so far? She’d dragged her partner into trouble.

Allia trotted with a limp, but then pushed herself into a three legged gallop.

And then the cabin was in her sight.

Keep going. Maggie needs you.
