Alison, being the ex-cop that she is, is writing about a subject that she knows intimately and it shows in this book and it’s sequel, “Credo’s Legacy”. I find it refreshing that this author, coming from a police background–a very serious and sometimes deadly occupation–has such a keen sense of humor…..it’s definitely an added plus to her story telling.
ABQ BookwormCalling All Reviewers! 
First, a rousing Thank You to those of you who have already read the latest in the Alex Wolfe Mysteries, Credo’s Bones. The five-star reviews that have come in are a very welcome sight. As you know, the best way for a book to get noticed is by YOU letting other readers know how much you enjoyed a particular novel. Would you consider letting other readers know by leaving a review? It only takes a moment and is so very important to me as an author. If you haven’t read Credo’s Bones yet, you can purchase it at Amazon, Or here at iBooks, Barnes and Noble or Kobo. To Detective Alexandra Wolfe, the human bone sticking out of the potty in the Scotty wasn’t any big deal. She needed to check out a very old bone in a very old camper…what could go wrong? She had some digging to do. She could feel it in her bones.
I’d like to introduce you to Nathaniel Gauthier, a young mage who begins life a little awkwardly, but is destined for great things.
Nathaniel Gauthier, a young, scholastic mage, battles a wraith to protect his king.
He loses, and he dies.
One thousand years later, Prince Amelon and his sorceress princess, Laucwen, discover ancient texts on the art of raising the dead. Their kingdom languishes under brutal occupying forces. Their only hope lies in resurrecting the long dead Jancor, the greatest battle mage ever to walk the shores of Merigor.
Laucwen sends the magical call for Jancor and accidentally summons Nathaniel instead.
He studied transformational magic at the collegium and skipped most of the classes on warfare and battle tactics in favor of translating ancient texts.
He lost his one and only magical duel.
Now Amelon believes him to be a powerful battle mage and looks to him to fight the greatest magical battle Merigor has ever faced.
If you love heroes that come in all shapes and sizes, follow along with Nathaniel as he learns that being a hero means so much more than simply being the biggest and baddest Mage of Merigor.

Walking the Moors With Agatha
As I sit out on my deck watching the fog roll over the fields of my farm, I realize what a wonderful opportunity I’ve had to be able to write in such beauty. It seems wherever I am, I’m usually drawn outdoors to a porch or a patio, especially in the spring, summer and fall, when flowers are blooming, the bees are pollinating and the cicada’s are singing their songs. My writing seems to flow easily when I’m outside the confines of four walls.

We had several chicks arrive today. They’re barely three days old and already I can tell the timid from the bold, the strong from the weak and then, there’s this tiny little one that I have tucked up under my shirt because she needs just a little bit more warmth and...

I’ve been practicing a new technique that I learned from my friend, Harvey Stanbrough. If you are a writer, Harvey’s website is full of excellent material he’s written and collected on everything having to do with writing. He’s a great writer himself, but as a...

Writing mysteries comes easily to me since most of my adult life has been spent unraveling true to life mysteries as an officer in a large metropolitan police force. Solving cases is really nothing more than methodical fact-finding and taking the time to follow-up on...
