An angry mother, two missing persons, and it’s personal. Jessie and her dogs are on a cold trail. It’s coming Christmas in the Bitterroots when cross country skiers turn up lost, and Jessie and her dogs are on a cold trail as acts of vengeance begin to mar the peace. Kidnapping, arson, and attempted murder pit Jessie Anderson and Sheriff Landon Reid against the elements and unknown assailants, the dogs their allies and support in fending off the acrimony of revenge. The story of a woman and her beloved search and rescue dogs who, working together, save lives. AUTHOR’S NOTE TO HER READERS: You’ve asked repeatedly, and I’ve listened. So, here, in this tale of Christmas, I share with you some of the secrets held so close by both families, the Andersons and the Reids. Not all things do I share, but things that I would normally have, over the course of the series, just dropped in passing, things I might have only alluded to, I have, for you, exposed — a bit of the backgrounds of the what and why both Jessie and Landon have their scars …along with their aspirations, determination, and strength.

About the Author: D. L. Keur – Publishing since the last couple of decades of the 20th Century, and self-publishing since 2013, Dawn has chosen to independently publish, enjoying the freedom and the control it gives her over her work. As an independent author, she writes all kinds of books — novels and short stories, but some non-fiction, too. Usually, she writes her fiction under several of her numerous pen names, like E. J. Ruek, C. J. “Country” James, plus her “space fiction” under the name, Aeros. With the release of The Jessica Anderson K-9 Mysteries, she’s decided to write as herself, mostly because many of the dogs included in these crime and search-and-rescue dog novels have been personal to her life. Says Dawn: “As an author who delights in writing stories that I myself would want to read, this is the first novel and series of novels that I’ve written under my real name. For decades, I’ve cloaked my identity under pen names, even once deciding to self-publish instead of continuing the traditional publishing route. Convinced to by another author who has become a close friend and writing confidante, I decided to unveil my identity and allow readers to connect me with some of my fiction work.
