It was a one-night stand five years ago.
As much as I hated myself for thinking about Emelia, I couldn’t help it.
But she left town and life went on.
I married someone else and started living.
I thought we were both happy. I was wrong.
My ex-wife walked out on me and our son, not wanting domestic anything.
So I did the only thing I could.
I started over.
A single dad with my focus on my boy and my job teaching kiddos.
Until Emelia came back to town and got a job teaching at my school.
Then everything changed.
All those memories came rushing back in.
What we were supposed to be if that one night had turned into more.
Beautiful. Clever. Funny. With a body made for loving and a heart of gold.
I didn’t know what had been missing from my life until I kissed her again.
Her.
But she has a secret from our night together that threatens to change everything.
Seems I don’t have just one son.
I have two.

Karen Adams’ dream became possible the day the RCMP finally included women in what was then, an unashamed boy’s club.

“Fast-paced and action-packed...The charm here lies in Munger's writing, which is silky-smooth and packs a wallop.” I Love a Mystery
“She is smart, tough, and tenacious... a wonderfully entertaining read.”—Publisher’s Weekly
Casey Jones cannot be beat for rowdy, action-packed adventures with humor, romance, and hard-boiled mayhem aplenty. She’s hot, she’s hilarious, and she’s so headstrong her quasi-boss Bobby D. can only shake his massive head and do as the lady says.
The hot and hilarious parts go hand-in-hand as the plus-size detective fantasizes her way through a small army of possible inamoratos, now and then anointing one or another, although always off the page and always accompanied by a wisecrack or three.

BAD TO THE BONE, Vol. 4

BETTER OFF DEAD, Vol. 5
Along with their significant others and the gardener, Casey and her oversize partner, Bobby, move in with a rape victim who’s receiving threatening phone calls. The victim knows exactly who attacked her, was tried for it, got away with it and who, she’s sure, is still getting away with it.
BAD MOON ON THE RISE, Vol. 6

Warshawski, Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan, Marcia Muller’s Sharon McCone, and Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum, as well as their tough and witty male antecedents.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, the most riveting and unforgettable story of kids confronting evil since It—publishing just as the second part of It, the movie, lands in theaters.
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis’s parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents—telekinesis and telepathy—who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated to Back Half, “like the roach motel,” Kalisha says. “You check in, but you don’t check out.”
In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Mrs. Sigsby, and her staff are ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you don’t, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute.
As psychically terrifying as Firestarter, and with the spectacular kid power of It, The Institute is Stephen King’s gut-wrenchingly dramatic story of good vs. evil in a world where the good guys don’t always win.
