    Dr. Sophie Armstrong just got her first big win after a year of setbacks. An ecologist at Riverbend’s Indiana Polytechnic, she lands a partnership with Wilderness Watch, a leader in remote surveillance, to commercialize remote wildlife cameras. Everything is on the line—her career, her department’s financial future, and her reputation. This is Sophie’s last chance to prove she isn’t anything like her wildlife-smuggling, law-breaking family members who were very publicly arrested in Riverbend. 
    Special Agent Blake Evans and his K-9 partner, Ranger, are ready to settle down. They’ve spent the past several years investigating arson to prevent wildfires, and life on the road isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When a job offer comes from Riverbend K-9 Academy, Blake jumps at the opportunity to train other agents and finally put down some roots in the small Indiana town. 
    When Sophie finds a gun repair kit as she’s setting cameras in the woods, she doesn’t think much of it…until she gets back to Riverbend and her cameras malfunction. Amidst injuries, fires, and unexplained data deletions, she’s in over her head. As much as she would rather avoid the FBI, she soon realizes that Blake and his playful Labrador retriever are exactly what she needs. With no time to spare, Sophie, Blake, and Ranger must team up to protect the people and wilderness they love. 
    Burying the Evidence is Book 5 in the Riverbend K-9 Series. All books in the Riverbend K-9 Series may be enjoyed as standalone novels or as a series.

Originally he was just one of the characters in Song for a Gypsy but later his story was told in I Am Wolf. I Am Wolf: They call me Wolfboy. Of that very simple reason that I am part-wolf, part-boy. I'm not immortal as many people might think, but I will live longer than most. Thousands of years longer. I am immune to all diseases, I am stronger than most other beings on this planet, and I have lived through many wars and sustained much pain in my life that no human could ever do. I heal easily, but I do get hurt. I have. Up until this day, I've never told anyone how I became who or what I am. This is my story. I Am Wolf is a paranormal thriller with some violence and sexual situations recommended for ages 16 and up. Song for a Gypsy: Sara's life is drastically changed the moment a convoy of horse-drawn caravans enters the quiet Reidenburgerstrasse, where she lives with the people she thinks are her parents. Sara doesn't know that her parents found her in a basket on their doorstep 13 years earlier. Neither does she know that she is a gypsy or that she is going to be the greatest sorceress who has ever lived. Soon, Sara will discover a magical world she never knew existed and go on a journey that she knows will cost her dearly. In Song for a Gypsy, we meet Sami the Wolfboy for the first time.
