Not My Solution

ANOTHER SUSPENSE AND ACTION-PACKED MYSTERY WITH A TOUCH OF ROMANCE FROM T. E. KILLIAN

A woman paralyzed and deafened in Afghanistan teams up with the new lawyer in town to solve a series of crimes.

Not My Solution

Roger McCracken and Nicole Fuller have problems to solve. What solutions can they find?

Roger is a lawyer returning to his home town after living and working in Kansas City. He is trying to start his own practice. He has to find an office, secretary and of course clients!

After being injured in Afghanistan, Nicole became an English teacher. Even though she is severely handicapped, she is a very independent person.

Problems start when Nicole is accused of stealing money from the student council fund. She decides she needs legal advice.

Roger’s brother, Floyd, the sheriff, asks Roger to run for mayor because the only one running does not seem to have an understanding of the town’s needs. However, Roger is hesitant since he is just getting started with his new business. The mayor candidate, Vance Robertson, approaches Roger to convince him – more like a threat – not to run for mayor. Now Roger decides to run for mayor and the problems start.

Nicole and Roger’s problems become entwined and they need to work together. They are shot at, stalked, threatened, kidnapped, accused of sexual assault, and stabbing.

How will they come together to solve all these problems without getting hurt?

Out of My Way

New Release!

The Logan’s Way Detective Series # 1

In this exciting new detective series, I switch gears just a little and go strictly into detective novels.

Don’t worry, these novels, as are all of my novels, are still going to be clean reads with just enough of Christ in them.

Out of My Way

Logan McKenzie is a police detective sergeant who does things his way with his own “rule book.” Logan’s partner retired 6 months ago and he is determined to work alone. He has no use for stuffed-shirts or Feds. He avoids all female cops, if he possibly can, until a certain female DEA agent comes to work with him

Logan is trying to shut down a large drug operation in his hometown of Lakeland, Arizona. He wants to do it all by himself and his way but is forced to accept the help of DEA Special Agent Samantha Farley. Sam has been a federal agent for 20 years and is able to persuade Logan to work with her. Sam not only helps him but she also saves his life … more than once.

Logan begins to grudgingly appreciate Sam and her help. However, a drug lord has put out a contract on Logan. It not only affects him but Sam and Logan’s daughter.

Can Logan and Sam work together (without hurting each other) and shut down the drug operation and keep him alive in the process?

This new series, by the author of The Sycamore PD Series, is loaded with action and suspense.


I think you’ll enjoy this new series, hopefully as much as I’m enjoying writing them. The next novel in this series will have both Logan and Sam in it but this one will be a murder mystery.

Happy Reading!

And may the Lord bless you as you read!
