From The Wild Rose Press – TV journalist Vicky Robeson is RV camping with Pete Harris, her enticing new love interest. He’s talking commitment, but she’s not ready to open up her heart. Or her history. Then her phone pings with a news alert. A girl’s been kidnapped in the same tiny town where Vicky’s life changed forever.

A Bit About Me

My name is Maria Lynn Barrs, writing as ML Barrs. Writing mysteries is a natural culmination of my life experiences.

Like my protagonist, Vicky, I started as a TV reporter, then ran television newsrooms in markets large and small. TV news is adrenaline-fueled, constantly changing, charged with conflict and emotion. I led teams covering everything from the September 11th attacks and devastating storms like Katrina, to major elections and sports championships. Our focus was always on how people were affected. The hardest stories for me were those that involved harm to children.
