NEW RELEASE, May 1, 2011: Menopause Murders: Hurdles Wings ePress

Book Three in the Menopause Murders series

Society matron and "queen" of The Women on Fire Ada Javitt puts her current romance on hold when disaster strikes. She and her menopausal friends must tackle the mystery--a murdered trainer, a crippled horse and an injured girl--coming close to disaster themselves when their detecting takes them to a haunted house on the Devon coast of England, where not all the ghosts are Casper-friendly. And the horse-whisperer just may be the killer they seek.

Alone, in danger, Ada wonders if she'll ever return to Devlin's arms. And whether the Women on Fire will win, place or show on their wild rides across the moors.

Worse, will she herself have to confront the terrible evil she fears with only a gang of young toughs beside her?
