CORNERED COYOTE

Coyote Series Book 3

Price: $ 0.99


GET DEAL at Amazon


Maria is tired of running from the law and comes back to the US from France. She murdered her husband, a deranged genius in self-defense and is arrested on arrival. Will she come out unscathed or will this be the biggest mistake of her life? Will she taste freedom or will she remain behind bars forever?

Follow the loveable yet eccentric private investigator, Slade Kelly, (a readers' favorite), as he tries to save Maria from seemingly insurmountable odds.

The story moves at a rapid pace, from the ghettos of Chicago to the beaches of Florida, from the streets of Los Angeles to the lush gardens of New York city. Each twist and turn comes with its own cast of colorful characters, from sleazy men in the mafia to hot, desperate women, who will do anything to make it big, in a world that is always trying to keep them small."

Author Description:
Dianne Harman draws her stories and characters from a diverse business and personal background.

Dianne has traveled extensively throughout the world, most recently dividing her time between Huntington Beach, California and Sacramento, California, where her husband was a Senator. An avid reader, Dianne brings the richness of her life experiences to her novels, Blue Coyote Motel and Tea Party Teddy.

Author Description:
I am married to my husband Todd and we have a wonderful ten year old daughter. I had a full-sized Virginian Opossum as a pet for four years until he passed away. They can be paper-trained. We currently have an albino Dwarf Netherlands Bunny named Snow, a Shih-Tzu named Sugar, and a turtle named Turtle Todd. (Don't ask about the toad we had named Fat Lisa.)

I love reading, hiking, fishing, boating, and watching nature. I use the BIC (butt in chair) method to write two thousand words a day. I love to talk to people who read my books and return all emails personally. My mission is to reach unsaved teens with my young adult novels. I loved reading books with supernatural elements when I was a teen so it's only natural for me to write what I love to read. For my adult readers, The 15th Star and True Treasure are exciting reads along the lines of National Treasure meets the War of 1812.
