I updated my Goodreads author blurb, because the next book in my Mangas County Mysteries series is still on track for late April/early May release. I’m pretty sure the final cover is good to go, but I’ll share only when it’s absolutely for sure!
Lif Strand’s first novel, Evolution Device, is the story of Eddie Edmunds, a rock guitarist who follows the path to fame and fortune typical of 1970s London. Except Eddie’s music is powered by something like magic – a power he both craves and fears.
Strand’s Mangas County Mysteries series features Special Deputy Jessie Torres, whose job focuses on investigating livestock deaths caused by wolves in the remote, rugged high-country of western New Mexico. But Jessie’s heart also calls her to follow the path set by her ancestors – women of strength and skill, and true power.
Lif Strand lives off the grid in a straw bale house way outback in New Mexico. When she’s not writing she hikes, takes a lot of photos, paints and creates fabric art, and cares for her aged Arabian horses.

It’s also a hint – just a hint, no more than that – about the next book.
