Dust, grit, revenge and murder create a classic Western mystery page turner. The parallel tale of a modern day thriller and passionate western historical mystery set in the southwest desert  town of Alpine Texas. Alpine Glow is one of those Western Mysteries that taps into your love of historical fiction and combines it with all of the suspense of a modern day thriller. Beverly Conners, a big time Denver Post journalist, finds herself at a crossroad, personally, professionally, financially and geographically. Newly divorced, unemployed and far from home under the beautiful Texas sky, she has to make some tough choices. Little does Bev know that her decision to work for a small Texas town newspaper will bring her into the most dangerous, fast breaking news story of her life. Or that her interest in the history of her new western home, Alpine Texas, will give her insight and strength to fight off a modern day madman. Nor could she have predicted that her unfortunate introduction to Officer Sam Gant would touch her heart as it had never been touched before. Alpine Glow shines on the border town of Alpine, Texas and follows Bev Conners as she searches for the next best story in Texas' desert southwest. Bev's digging finds the small town's passionate past leading her down a smoke veiled pathway of arson, murder, destiny, betrayal and love. Before she is through, Bev must choose her path, make peace with her own past, catch the perpetrator and have her story...but will she ever get what she truly wants most?
