For Those Going to Order - Wait till this week.

Thank you to everyone who has bought a book so far! The first small run of books that were printed is pretty much sold out. The publisher has made a couple minor tweaks on the cover (for the better), added another great blurb review from former WSU offensive lineman Rob Rainville (thanks, Rob!), and added a few missing words that were "missing" for some reason. If you are planning on ordering soon, another, larger run of books (with the above tweaks) will be available this coming week. For those asking, the book will be available on Amazon.com & Barnes & Noble.com sometime in November. Also, a big thanks goes out to Josh Johnson (not our J.J.) and the Liberty Lake Splash for the nice article. Lastly, thank you to Cherie Holm (GMS Librarian) and our great P.T.A. for allowing me to sell my book at the Scholastic Book Fair this week. It was a huge success! Thanks again. JF

Murder at Foxbluff Lake: A Coug Hawkins Mystery is now available early through the publisher's website http://www.graydogpress.com/ This is a safe/secure site that I have used several times. This is a little over a week earlier than first anticipated. The book will be available in various local bookstores in the coming week(s). Check my blog out for upcoming appearances/signings; the first of which will be Friday, October 22 at the Hastings on 29th on Spokane's South Hill between 3-7pm. Come on out - I would love to see you!
* P.S. - I would like to thank Russ Davis & everyone at Gray Dog Press for making this happen. A huge thanks also goes out to Bud Nameck, Rob Ellsworth, Paul Menke, and Derek Deis for showing an interest in Coug Hawkins (and writing great blurbs!). Also, I want to thank all of you who sported a "Who Is Coug Hawkins" bumper sticker the past few months. If you don't mind, please keep em' up on your rigs!

Briet Synopsis of Murder at Foxbluff Lake: A Coug Hawkins Mystery


The residents of the tiny town of Foxbluff Lake live a quiet existence. For 15 year old Coug Hawkins, the son of a former football legend at Washington State University, summer has just started. He is looking forward to another summer of fishing excursions and camping trips with his two closest friends. Little does he know that the shocking discovery of a disfigured body found in the lake; coupled with the mysterious dissappearance of a local bartender, will put a halt to any summer adventures they have already planned.
Just over the border, the people responsible for the grisly murder and the dissappearance are planning their next move. A multi-million dollar enterprise is all the motivation the men need to keep not only their business a secret, but their brutal acts, as well.
Coug Hawkins and his friends get in their way.
