Father/Daughter Relationships

Now that Mother's Day is over, it's time to think about your Dads.  I wrote this book after I inherited some Nancy Drew books and reread them as an adult. I was really touched by the close relationship between our favorite teenage sleuth and her Dad; a relationship made even stronger by the death of Nancy's mother.  So I created my own teenage sleuth, Nancy Keene, and wrote this PG-Rated humorous story about her relationship with her Dad, who has been worrying about her ever since started dating and talking about moving away to college.  He doesn't want to let her go and she worries about what he'll be like when she's gone.  How will he handle letting her go?  Find out as Nancy, her father, and boyfriend take a trip on Route 66, visiting several of its landmarks along the way, in search of a missing will.  Not only is “The Buried Treasure on Route 66” a tip of the hat to the Nancy Drew books, it’s also a romance novel about both young love and rekindled old love.

In Search of Lake Wobegon

My husband and I went on a pilgrimage to "Lake Wobegon" and visited many of the real places that inspired Garrison Keillor's make-believe town.  We even got a chance to meet him when he was coming out of a bookstore.  Here's a book, with pictures, of our experience.  It is told from the point of view of our teenage sleuth Nancy Keene.  A bachelor farmer goes missing and Nancy and her Dad are hot on the trail.
