Hi! I'm Jo Hiestand. I write two mystery series that take place in mid-England -- the McLaren Mysteries, and the Peak District Mysteries. I also write the Cookies & Kilts Mysteries that take place in mid-Missouri.
I hope you'll see what my website pages offer, and return often for updates on new releases. Thanks for stopping by!
Books are available for purchase through major online merchants.
Prefer buying your books at a brick-and-mortar shop? You can purchase books in the Cookies & Kilts Mystery series at Main Street Books--307 S. Main Street, St. Charles, Missouri 63301--in person or online.
Storms is the second prequel novella linked to the McLaren Mystery series. Unlike The Swim, Storms focuses on Melanie Travers, the woman who owns the bed-and-breakfast establishment where she met McLaren (in the McLaren mystery novel ARRESTED FLIGHT). And, while that is an interesting story, there is so much more to their relationship and to the years prior to her meeting him.
Melanie has been through a lot: combating school bullies and a bad home environment in her youth, then—as a wife--withstanding an abusive husband and village gossip. She's fought through every storm, and now that she's emerged triumphant, she knows the fight was worth it, no matter the pain.
