Dead Run

Cold Case Psychic #35

by Pandora Pine

When Ronan, Jude, and Fitzgibbon agree to participate in the Salem Witches Dead Run for charity, each brag about how they’ll run circles around the others to win the race, but with the detectives sprinting past forty, they’ll be lucky to cross the finish line in one piece. Throw in glitter color bombs, aching muscles, and a booger-eating six year old bent on revenge, what could possibly go wrong?

Caught up in preparations for the run, buying witches costumes and making colored powder to throw at the runners, Everly and Wonder Wolf talk Aurora into joining in the fun with the promise of a new bike.

With new two-wheelers hanging in the balance and the finish line in sight, who will win? The kids? The detectives? Or will everyone learn the most important lesson of all; there’s a champion in each and every one of us.

About the author

Sick of the slogging rat-race of her 9-5 job, Pandora Pine put pen to paper (literally!) to make her ambition of becoming a romance novelist a reality. She cut her teeth in the dog-eat-dog world of fanfiction, still dreaming of the day when she would be a published author. She lives in Massachusetts with her blabbermouth muse who’ s a fan of middle of the night plot twists.

In her spare time, Pandora fancies herself an amateur nature photographer. She enjoys mucking around in swamps, hiking through the woods and crawling around on her hands and knees in her backyard seeking out the perfect shot. Pandora is a fan of roadside seafood shacks and always thinks Mexican food is a good idea at the time.

Some of Pandora’s favorite things are chocolate, writing longhand with purple pens and handsome men falling in love with each other.

Don't miss Pandora’s seductive new novel coming soon to an e-reader near you.

Ronan, Fitz and Jude take part with their kids in a mile run to raise finds for the kids class of 2037(!).
Lots of color and glitter with even Aurora taking part and getting colorful.

I love reading about the kids and love how they help each other and look after each other. Kenny P is the bully we all had to deal with in school and I loved how they helped him when he tripped and skinned his knee and then ran with the others to the finish line together. It will be interesting to see what happens if Fitz and Jace adopt another child and how Aurora will react. Still want to read about their dogs.

Fun and Colourful

A fun short story full of colour and glitter and the kids showing the adults how it should be done. I like how Pandora writes short stories with a moral in the tale.

Brilliant

Aww Dead Run is such a sweet story, in fact I'm feeling a tad emotional right now. Yes, it's a short story but it's also utterly brilliant.

At this point in time, these three families might as well move to FL since the other MA friends are completely ignored for the most part anymore.
