I'm delighted to be presenting a new YA series this month...the Linda Tassel Mysteries. Linda is a daughter of the Eastern Cherokee nation in Georgia. In Death at Little Mound she is discovering about the ancient people of her homeland through her work on an archeology dig. Into her life comes Tad Gist, a recent transplant from Buffalo New York. Just in time to help her solve a murder.
my first Nancy Drew mystery...The Secret in the Old Clock!
I enjoyed writing about Linda from Tad's point of view. I set the stories in the 1990s, when my children were teens. What fun to revisit that time of their lives. When I was a teen, I loved reading Nancy Drew mysteries, but was frustrated that Nancy stayed a perpetual sixteen through all her adventures. I plan to follow Linda and Tad through their teen age years and deepening romance.
I hope you or a young reader you know will join them!
Just finished reading and I enjoyed this new adventure

ReplyDeleteThank you, Vijaya. YA lit has special challenges and responsibilities, doesn't it? I love this dynamic time of life and the kids that are in it!
DeleteI love that the characters in the series will grow up with your readers. Wonderful! I wish I still had teenagers.
