Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Adventures:       suspense and romance in the Southwest

new romantic suspense novels and other news from Kris Bock

My latest book, What We Found, is a mystery with strong romantic elements. Click on the cover for a synopsis and excerpt.

Falcon after a hunt
I've been hard at work on my next novel, working title What We Found. It involves murder, romance... and falconry! I've had the wonderful opportunity to go out with a falconer on hunts and to visit his "mews" (where he keeps the birds). I even got to see an hour-old Harris hawk and a five-hour-old falcon chick. Just one more series of adventures in the writing life!
