I’m so excited! The next book in the Harmony Duprie Mysteries is almost here! The release date is May 15th, although it might show up sooner on some platforms. While you’re waiting, here’s the books description:
A firebug is stalking Oak Grove and internet researcher Harmony Duprie is on the case. It starts as a simple data analysis project for Police Chief Sorenson, but things get personal when the house she renovated is targeted.
The arsonist is in it for the glory, posting videos of his exploits on social media. So, Harmony calls for backup from her favorite computer hackers, Eli, Lando, and Scotty. Complications arise when Fiesker, a fire investigator with a chip on his shoulder, is brought in to unmask the culprit and put an end to the fires. Then there’s the mysterious emails being sent to the town’s firefighters. And who is leaving a trail of Celtic brooches behind?
Harmony finally gets a break when Jake, her ex, stumbles across information that might lead to the guilty party.
Can Eli, Lando and Scotty help Harmony track down the pyromaniac before someone gets hurt? Or, worse yet, killed?

And a bonus! Just for those of you who follow this blog, here’s a quick snippet from the book, with Harmony in her usual form:
Like a wayward teenager, my anxiety levels rose every time Chief Sorenson showed up, even if I hadn’t done anything wrong. It was no different when he strode into the library Monday morning even though he was on my turf. Since I was busy helping Mrs. McCartney track down information on problem pregnancies in goats, I nodded his direction and inclined my head towards the office. I didn’t want to make him hang around the front desk while he waited.
Besides, a few of the patrons would be unhappy if he spotted them. I saw Harry, one of Oak Grove’s small homeless population, duck behind the magazine racks in the reading room.
Once Mrs. McCartney was all set up with a search page, I returned to my office. The Chief had helped himself to a cup of coffee from the pot I kept on my credenza and was staring out the window that overlooked the alley. Not much happened out there most days except for a stray cat or two nosing around the dumpsters.
While this book holds no car chases, Harmony does battle some unusual opponents. But this is a spoiler-free zone, so you’ll have to come back for the buy links later!
