Bearing Crosses is out!
Penny Gardin Lewis is pleased to announce the publication of her first novel, Bearing Crosses.
Retired, middle-aged twins, Penny and Pam drive across the South to photograph roadside crosses. The project is for their Mom who plans to use the photos to design her own memorial before she passes on to those Heavenly gates. But this well-meaning adventure is side-railed when a call from Mom has the girls take a detour to Athens, Tennessee to investigate a murder. It seems that black sheep cousin Jacey has got herself arrested for chopping off the head of her husband, Junebug. His poor head is found in a salad bowl that the girls suspect Jacey stole at the family reunion. Pam’s more daring personality, her special “intuitive” gifts and the possibility that she is a murderer herself play havoc with Penny’s more cautious reluctance and dry wit as they try to help Jacey’s quirky attorney and a handsome police detective discover the truth.
Bearing Crosses is available now at local bookstores in Carrollton, Georgia, and at Amazon.com in paperback, Kindle and other e-book versions.
Microwave is Dead, the sequel to Bearing Crosses, will be published soon.
Middle-age, menopausal twins, Penny and Pam get swept up in a mystery in small town Carrollton, Georgia. Their adventure is triggered by the death of Penny’s beloved microwave and Pam’s extraordinary intuitions. This time, they are joined by their ogre of a brother, Brett, Penny’s husband Dan, and various friends as they search along the flooding waters of the Little Tallapoosa River for a missing little girl, believed to have drowned. Meanwhile, an evil murdering pedophile has been released from prison. He commits horrific crimes on a stormy path that brings him on a collision path with the other characters.
