Stone Panthers

by Hannah Major

Chase Newton, a private investigator living in the Bend Oregon area, stumbles across an old mystery that began over fifty years ago. While still maintaining his job at a local detective agency, Chase struggles with puzzling mysteries and dangerous foes. Along with his new friends, they unravel the mystery and intrigue surrounding the old mansion next door to Chase's home, and its former owner. The further they get into the old mystery, the more dangerous it becomes. Before long, Chase finds himself working against the clock to solve the case. Things get worse when his friends don't wholly trust him, and his job at the agency is put in jeopardy. He must solve the case of the stone panthers before time runs out.

About the author

I have been drawing and writing ever since I can remember. My pictures were fill with towering mountains capped with snow, fruit trees with giant fruit, and fields full of unusually large flowers. Now, my fruit and flowers have shrunk to their normal size, and my mountains are no longer triangles topped with white. Through years of art lessons and practice, I have greatly expanded as an artist, trying things I never thought I would. For example, I always thought I hated painting, but once I tried it, it became one of my favorite art mediums. Through my art and writing I try to portray the beauty and vastness of creation, and show just how unexplored our world still is!
I have written numerous stories, none of which are really worth reading. I have many other stories that I started, but never finished, due to over-planning. Now, I just write, and make it up as I go along. No plan, no outline. It seems to work just fine for me.

I thought the story rightly started off slow as the main theme and characters were developed. The pace was soon picked up as the plot unfolded. I think the author wrote a thoroughly clean and enjoyable story that ought to be read by everyone.
