NEW!! Cabin Creek #12: Alone in the Dark, Dark Woods

Hello friends! 

I'm happy to announce a new Cabin Creek Mystery for readers aged 7 to 10. It's illustrated by my son, Cody Rutty, who now lives in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, with his wife and kitty. We're grateful for the technology that lets us collaborate from different coffee shops; mine near a snowy mountain, his with palm trees and village roosters.

The story: 

It's summer in the mountain town of Cabin Creek with a new adventure for brothers Jeff and David and their cousin Claire. They've started a project to help their community: the Cabin Creek Pup Express. Their caravan of bikes and wagons picks up lonely dogs who need a walk or playtime by the lake. Along the way, the Pup Express follows a strange creature they see in the woods. 

 
When the animal appears to be injured they investigate what it is and from where it came. Their search takes them along a dangerous river through the dark woods, to a surprise discovery ... then to another surprise discovery!
