About the Book

   Six years was a long time to be something you weren’t. For Shawna Kane, it was a double deception. A feat like that would make anyone want to quit. But quitting would also reveal what she was trying to hide. Luckily when she needed a break, she had a cousin willing to play her. Her male counterpart, anyway.

   A visit from Jeremiah stirred up old memories of when she was Buddie Fox. Hidden in a dark corner of the attic in her ranch house, was a wooden crate. Contained inside, were the six years of her life that she had almost forgotten about. The crate now sitting in the parlor, its top pried off, Shawna began to relive those years.

   From swindling bankers to crooked lawmen, there wasn’t much the Fox Hole Gang didn’t know about. Their boss, who rarely left Washington, kept them well informed. He never questioned what he didn’t want to know and that was just fine with the gang. That gave Buddie the chance to be Shawna when she had to be as they did their boss’ bidding.

   Sometimes she worked alone to keep the secrets the gang held. Very few people knew her secrets and she wanted to keep it that way. But when the gang was blamed for crimes committed by another, she risked her identity to set the records straight.


About the Author

   This author has always enjoyed writing short stories. But creating the Buddie Fox series has made it difficult to incorporate them into the story line. The use of flashbacks made it possible to write a book of short stories. Instead of making each one a story unto itself, the author brought the characters back to the present time in between to give the book a better flow.

   Not wanting to write a prequel was what influenced the use of flashbacks. The author used the first book, The Men of Buddie Fox, as the basis of which stories to tell. Though most of the stories mention something from the first book, there are a couple that give a sneak peek into future books.

   While this is the fourth book in the series, it was written out of sequence. The author realized a large gap in the time frame of the original four books. She decided that there was a lot of potential for additional books. Her biggest challenge was not giving away anything from the original, still unfinished, final book.
