Lynda L. Lock

Death in the Vineyard Mysteries; love, lust, and loot in the affluent Okanagan wine region Isla Mujeres Mysteries; sun, sand, and tequila with a twist of murder and a dash of revenge. The quirky cast of characters, plus Sparky the multi-breed rescue pooch, scramble to solve the mysteries and catch the bad guys. Sparky is an island beach-mutt who invited himself into our lives in 2013. He walked into our house one evening at dinner time, and never left. He has curly terrier fur covering pink and black polka-dotted skin and long silky Spaniel ears. His front paws are larger than his back ones and his sense of smell is extraordinary. Our family includes Boo a self-adopted stray cat, Geek the kitchen gecko, a lounge of lizards, and a herd of hermit crabs in the back yard. I have a very diverse, some might say eccentric, work history that frequently sneaks into the backstory of my main characters. I have been a bank clerk, antique store owner, ambulance attendant, volunteer firefighter, supervisor of a cutting-edge transit control center, partner in a Canadian micro-brewery, partner in an awarding winning bed and breakfast, and a hotel manager. Come join the adventure, cheers Lynda and Sparky
