"Time and Chance: An Iowa Murder
Mystery"
SOLD OUT
(1998 - $10.95 plus $2 P&H)
Did the divorced husband of the bed and
breakfast owner do it? Does the very shady past of Pastor Paula provide a clue? Is the
financial developer of the new riverboat casino involved? And of major importance, which
author killed which character?
The owner of the Three Sisters Bed & Breakfast, Charlie Andropolous, appears to be
the heroine, but one can only imagine how she and the myriad of characters evolve through
the consecutive writings of 17 authors. With so many creative writers, dramatic and
hilarious twists and turns abound as the murder mystery progresses towards its most
unusual conclusion. |

Ride Across Iowa, which follows different routes each July
from the Missouri River to the Mississippi. It should be noted the event has always been a treasured, non-violent, fun-loving Iowa family event.
This is a work of fiction and does not
reflect the history or social climate of the ride.
