“Maddie, promise you’ll come by and meet Sebastian before Daddy hires a hit man? You’ll change your mind about him, trust me.” Francie gathered up her things and gave Maddie a hug before she sailed off down the sidewalk, high heels tapping out a staccato rhythm, men doing a triple take as she passed.
Watson whined and gave a huge sigh and then farted so long and loud the friendly couple at the next table turned and gave Maddie the fish-eye.
She pointed at the dog. “Soy. It always does that to him.” She could hear them laughing as she and Watson slunk across the street and up the stairs to the office.
She’d no sooner transferred calls back to the office phone when it rang.
“Hey, boss,” Hannah said. “Just wanted you to know that I’m on my way, be there in ten minutes.”
Maddie was flipping through the file on Fisher. There it was, R. Chubbik, the owner of the red Thunderbird. She scribbled the address on the back of her hand.
“Good, I’m just on my way out, so I won’t lock the door.” In a flash of brilliant desperation, she’d figured out the first step in getting rid of Francie’s felon.

And, the third book in the RUNNING WILD series,
Bobby Hutchinson was born in a small town in interior British Columbia in 1940. Her father was an underground coal miner, her mother a housewife, and both were storytellers. Learning to read was the most significant event in her early life.
She married young and had three sons. Her middle son was deaf, and he taught her patience. She divorced and worked at various odd jobs, directing traffic around construction sites, day caring challenged children, selling fabric by the pound at a remnant store.
She mortgaged her house and bought the store, took her sewing machine to work, and began to sew a dress a day. The dresses sold. The fabric didn’t, so she hired four seamstresses and turned the store into a handmade clothing boutique.
After twelve successful years, she sold the business and decided to run a marathon. Training was a huge bore, so she made up a story as she ran, about Pheiddipedes, the first marathoner. She copied it down and sent it to the Chatelaine short story contest, won first prize,
finished the Vancouver marathon, and became a writer. It was a hell of a lot easier than running.
She married again and divorced again, writing all the while, mostly romances,
(which she obviously needs to learn a lot about,) and now has more than fifty-five published books.
She decided she needed something to do in the morning in her spare time, so she opened her first B&B, Blue Collar, in Vancouver, B.C. After five successful years, she moved home to the small coal
-mining town of Sparwood, where she now operates the reincarnated version of the Blue Collar.
She's currently working on three or four or eight more books. She has six enchanting grandchildren. She lives alone, apart from guests
and two rabbits, meditates, bikes, walks, reads incessantly, and writes compulsively.
She likes a quote by Dolly Parton: “Decide who you are, and then do it on purpose.”
