After writing feature articles in magazines, newspapers, and online magazines for over fifteen years, J.Q. Rose entered the world of fiction. Her published mysteries are Deadly Undertaking and Dangerous Sanctuary. The mysteries are published by BWL Publishing. With her book for middle-grade girls, Girls Succeed! Stories Behind the Careers of Successful Women, J.Q. returned to her non-fiction writing roots interviewing real people. Blogging, photography, Pegs and Jokers board games, and travel are the things that keep her out of trouble. She and her husband, Gardener Ted, spend winters in Florida and summers up north camping and hunting toads, frogs, and salamanders with her four grandsons and granddaughter.

Still, finding an extra body on the floor of the garage between the hearse and the flower car shocked her.

But will the real killer return for her, her dad, her brother? Her mother’s secrets, a killer, a handsome policeman, and a shadow man muddle up her intention to have a simple life. Welcome home, Lauren!
