A Joan Freed Life-Changing Mystery/Adventure

Book 9 – The Vintage Trailer
**A cozy, character-driven story with heart, humor, and hidden danger lurking just around the bend.**

Joan Freed never asked for excitement. She asked to help her friend renovate a vintage trailer and maybe drink coffee while doing it. Reasonable goals. Achievable goals. Until they weren’t.

Bad weather, constant interruptions, and the general unpredictability of life keep pushing the work back.

A client rescue. A kidnapping. A lost letter with the power to change everything.

The Story Behind the Story of The Vintage Trailer
I’ve owned, lived in, done swap meet business out of, and revamped probably a dozen ‘mature’ RVs. And besides the “What was I thinking?” question that runs through my head almost daily, I’m curious about each one’s history. Who bought it new? Where has it been? Was it a home? Whose personalities do these walls hold? What treasure will I find?
One such trailer became Jenny’s (Joan’s sidekick) trailer. It had only one major surprise… the bed was being held up by a stack of lumber in the center. But when Joan and Jenny tear into it, it’s a whole nother batch of surprises.
Another of the ‘mature’ RV’s that did time with me when I bailed a friend out of a jam became the safe haven and new life for big, beautiful Madeline. She, as with another of my friends, was escaping from an extreme narcissist’s reach.
My characters have to be memorable. Their situations have to be in the realm of ‘it could happen’, and maybe it really did.
I have to be passionate about fixing what they’re going through. I’m thinking that this series is how I work my challenges out and keep going. What do you think? And what’s next on my agenda?
