Crossing my fingers for my historical mystery, BLACK SHEEP. Several readers said their favorite character was the 10-year-old girl who helps with the case because she's a Julie Barnes wannabe. #Modsquad #pitchwars

In 1972, new evidence reopens the case of a man who disappeared with $5000 of Ellen’s family’s money—and someone doesn’t want Ellen involved. A maybe murder, a budding interracial romance, and a spirited 10-year-old co-detective = BLACK SHEEP. #PitMad #A #M #IRMC #ND #amquerying
