About Jayne Barnard

A double Aurora nominee & Debut Dagger finalist, Jayne is best known to Steampunks as the mind behind the World Parasol Dueling Championships, a sport inspired jointly by Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate and the parasol-wielding ferocity of Amelia Peabody, esteemed Egyptologist & crime-solver penned by Elizabeth Peters. 'MADDIE HATTER AND THE GILDED GAUGE' was named ALBERTA BOOK OF THE YEAR in 2018. As J.E. Barnard Jayne writes women's wilderness suspense in THE FALLS MYSTERIES, with WHEN THE FLOOD FALLS bringing home the Canadian Crime Writing Award of Excellence for Best Unpublished in 2016. Jayne divides her time between Alberta and Vancouver Island, and in the absence of a clockwork companion she gives orders to her ginger cat, who ignores them with the majestic indifference of cats everywhere.

When the Flood Falls: The Falls Mysteries Jul 14, 2018

by J.E. Barnard

( 22 )

$6.99

When a phantom stalker targets her friend, Lacey McCrae's crime-busting skills are tested to their limits.

With her career in tatters and her marriage receding in the rear-view mirror, ex-RCMP corporal Lacey McCrae trades her uniform for a tool belt, and the Lower Mainland for the foothills west of Calgary. Amid the oil barons, hockey stars, and other high rollers who inhabit the wilderness playground is her old university roommate, Dee Phillips. Dee's glossy life was shaken by a reckless driver; now she's haunted by a nighttime prowler only she can hear.

As snowmelt swells the icy river, threatening the only bridge back to civilization, Lacey must make the call: assume Dee's in danger and get her out, or decide the prowler is imaginary and stay, cut off from help if the bridge is swept away.
