About this series
In Burr Meadow School District 1926, a school board election is approaching. No one pays much attention to it until an injured student becomes a campaign focal point. Everyone agrees that it shouldn't take an ambulance thirty minutes to get to the school but how to ease the traffic jams that caused the delay is the question.
Kyle Shannon is on a temp assignment at the district and does her best to relieve the congestion on Black Point Road but tight budgets and dictates from the superintendent hamper her progress. When a district employee is found shot to death near one of the buildings, there doesn't seem to be a motive. It appears to be a random shooting and the Major Crimes Task Force is not called in.
However, following a second attack near the same building, the task force is activated and Kyle finds herself involved in another homicide investigation. The police think drug trafficking is behind it all but Kyle isn't so sure. She suspects something else is going on. Parents want answers and so does she.
With her nerves fraying, Kyle forces herself to focus on finding the person responsible for the violent events. Her single-mindedness leads to a killer but will it cost her more than she is willing to pay?

- Horse Power: A Kyle Shannon Mystery
3
Temp worker Kyle Shannon is plagued by more than the messy office at Bright Hope Equestrian Center. She's about to confiscate a deadbeat owner’s horse, one of Bright Hope’s partners is missing, and Sunny Disposition has suddenly gone berserk. To make matters worse, the two-legged clients are more high-strung than the four-legged ones. As the police investigate the human remains discovered behind the barn, many think the bones belong to a missing farmhand who was dealing drugs. Kyle isn’t convinced although even an arson fire doesn't pull her into the investigation. It takes a paid-up half million dollar life insurance policy and the sad look on a dear friend's face to do that. After she stumbles over a piece of evidence and lands in the hospital, Kyle knows one thing for sure: there’s a murderer out there who isn’t horsing around. Horse Power is a winner...and by much more than a nose. - Nina Kenney, Lake Villa District Library

Linda Mickey
Touring the county morgue, chatting with forensic scientists, and figuring out who killed whom...that's what Linda Mickey likes to do. There is something special about the hours spent at the keyboard crafting a whodunnit: developing characters, understanding the crime and why it was committed,then planting clues and red herrings in the narrative. At the same time, Mickey is fascinated by the business aspects of writing and publishing. As a speaker and workshop facilitator, she is frequently asked as many questions about how to manage a writing business as how to create believable dialogue. In fact, queries about publishing industry-related topics came up so often that she complied what she knew about business and what she had learned about the publishing industry into Dollars and Sense for Writers. Mickey is employed by a small accounting firm. In other words, her life is all about death and taxes.
