New Urban Mystery: Dancing with Trees

with 2 comments

A new Urban Mystery is available! Dancing with Trees is the 5th novella in the Series. The story is set in Fredericton, New Brunswick. An artist, Katie, who is cataloguing interesting trees in the city, happens on a mystery associated with the trees. As she walks the city streets, she encounters a strange dancer who shares a special relationship with each tree.

Fredericton, known as the City of Stately Elms, has long been celebrated for its old trees and urban forest. The story was a natural for me – during my career as an environmental botanist, I often worked with trees, including those in the city.

The Urban Mysteries are short, at only about 20,000 words, and each one is a quick, easy read. So far, there are five novellas in the Series:

  • Office Green: set in Halifax, NS
  • City Grotesque: set in Saint John, NB
  • Roundabout: set in Fredericton, NB
  • Hollow Hotel: set in Saint John, NB
  • Dancing with Trees: set in Fredericton, NB

All my best!
