About the author
Elise M. Stone
30 books60 followersElise M. Stone was born and raised in New York, went to college in Michigan, lived in the Boston area for eight years, and most recently moved to sunny Tucson, Arizona, where she doesn't have to shovel snow. Her first degree was in psychology, her second in computers. She's worked as a pizza maker, library clerk, waitress, social worker, programmer, and data jockey.
Retired now, she spends her days doing her two favorite things: writing and reading. Agatha and Spenser, her two cats, keep her company while watching birds and lizards outside her office window. Like the sleuth in her African Violet Club mysteries, she also raises African violets, although not with as much success as Lilliana, who has been known to win the occasional prize ribbon.
She’s fond of reading mysteries, having, like most women her age, been raised on a steady diet of Nancy Drew and later discovering Miss Marple and Sherlock Holmes. She thinks Agatha Raisin is a hoot. Although she will read the occasional private detective novel or thriller, she prefers the gentler kinds of stories. Real life is thrilling enough on most days.
She also likes a bit of romance with her mysteries. And mystery with her romance. With a fondness for cowboys and westerns, Arizona is the perfect place for her to live.

Long-term romance
Love the setting for this story with the touch of history, small town struggles. Are some people just not meant to be townies.
