What is your latest release and what genre is it? Descent is a mystery and popular in the women’s sleuth category.
Quick description: When Kalin Thompson is promoted to Director of Security at Stone Mountain Resort, she soon becomes entangled in the high-profile murder investigation of an up-and-coming Olympic-caliber skier. There are more suspects with motives than there are gates on the super-G course, and danger mounts with every turn.
Kalin’s boss orders her to investigate. Her boyfriend wants her to stay safe and let the cops do their job. Torn between loyalty to friends and professional duty, Kalin must look within her isolated community to unearth the killer’s identity.

What are you working on now?
Avalache, the third in the Stone Mountain Mystery series is just about ready to submit to Imajin Books, and then I’ll cross my fingers that they like it. I’ve the opportunity to meet with an avalanche forecaster and rescuer this week to review some key scenes and make sure I have the details right before I’m ready to send this one off. After that, I’m 20,000 words into the fourth in the series and need to keep writing. Look the Other Way is a standalone murder mystery that takes place in the Bahamas and needs a little fine-tuning before submitting anywhere.
Kristina’s reading recommendation:
Judy Penz Sheluk is the author of Hanged Man’s Noose published by Barking Rain Press, July 2015. It’s an amateur sleuth with an edge.
Thank you for hosting me. It’s an honour to be here.
