Where's Joe - Kindle edition by Martin, Marie F.. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
In the aftermath of World War II, mothers suffered from the loss of their sons the best way they could. Some tried to ease their grief by holding their daughters on a leash so tight it became unbearable. Twenty-three-year-old Reba Bicknell has been smothered to the point of rebellion. She accepts a daring ride behind a stranger on a powerful motorcycle which leaves her with a driving need to find him again and ride facing the wind. The search leads her to a slummy tavern where a motorcycle gang cuts loose and hangs free. While watching to see if Joe arrives to join a group of bikers, Reba witnesses the kidnapping of a young girl and reports the crime. Unaware, Reba is about to become the number one suspect and the target of the real killer, a woman with a burning vendetta who rides with the biker gang.
This story was one of my first. I couldn't find an agent for it so I put it on a back shelf and wrote my other five books. Needing a new project, I pulled it free from its hiding place and read the story. It told me I should do a rewrite. The characters took over and the tale grew and grew, finding a life of its own. Hope my readers will enjoy it.

In May of 1935, Blinny Platt's homestead shack burns to the ground forever leaving her family asunder, scattering them like the embers flew on the Montana wind. She was only eight-years-old, sent away and in charge of her little sister. She could handle that because Platts take care of Platts.
However, it is the hidden secrets of her parents smoldering beneath the charred remains that haunts Blinny until 1982. She once again leaves the home place to build a house for herself. As the foundation is poured and the walls go up, each of the hurtful memories are uncovered. Finally the mystery, left in the ashes of the burned home, is revealed.

Arianne Hollis sells her Aupscale city home to pay her late husband’s gambling debts. To save expenses, she moves to the mountains of northern Montana. She feels confident about the move, after all, it is 1988. She is certainly capable of living on her own. The remote cabin nestled in an alpine meadow will bring her quiet solace. The first day in her new place, she hears the retort of rifle fire echoing through the forest. A feud reminiscent of the olden days in West Virginia breaks out, and she is slowly drawn into the fray between shy mountain people and outsiders. Will Arianne overcome the influence or become as vengeful as the large rural clan? |

But then they all hire the same maid who uncovers long-hidden criminal secrets kept by each woman. Oh, the horror of it.

I thought it was time to update a photo of me. The one at the top of this page is at least 15 years ago done by a photographer. This one is a snapshot by my granddaughter after a basketball game my second grade great-grandson played in. So much fun to go watch the little athletes.
