Book Cover & Preview Text
Excerpt from Wild Swans of Innisfree The residents of Cranshaw had obviously become aware that a chase was in progress, for some of them laughed and clapped their hands, some screamed, and some hooted as Ox-Eye clamped the sombrero on his head and shouted “Olé” and Pia Jo guided the Jeep through the Fair. But the chase did not abate, and soon a tempestuous wind dislodged a dancing, hot-purple balloon in the shape and size of a man from its moorings and attached it to the Caddy’s antenna, where it whipped and gyrated in eccentric synch with Cranshaw’s rock ‘n’ roll band.

About the Book
Pia Jo Borg, a part-time theatre instructor, is trying to solve a jewel heist in a bid to win a $10,000 reward.
Maxima Roshnikov, a famous diva and the rightful owner of a lavish emerald and diamond necklace, had the heirloom stolen right from her neck during a gala celebrating her twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. She considers the necklace a symbol of her husband’s love, and she desperately wants it back.
But there are so many suspects! The guest list to the party included an odd cast of characters: the Andersons live in a shabby home amid mansions, and they might want to move up; the Alligrettis seem to be rich, but maybe their wealth is just a sham; and the Constantas are elderly Gypsies who perhaps shouldn’t have been at the party at all. And the list goes on and on.
Pia’s mission to solve the case brings her down unexpected paths and eventually leads her right into the middle of a murder investigation. Finding the thief means finding a killer in the Wild Swans of Innisfree.
