It’s the greatest, biggest question, isn’t it? What if? For authors, I would venture to guess most of our work starts with that very question. All four of my books in the Laura Weber Series started that way. What if I was fishing and saw a car on the bottom of the lake? This is exactly what happened to Laura Weber in Secrets on the Bottom. What if she decided to dive the car, just to check it out? When she dove, what if she finds a person behind the wheel of the car? A million things run through her mind as she surges back to the surface of the lake, of course. A horrible accident, she fears. But then, what if later she learns the person in the car was actually handcuffed to the steering wheel?
That “What if?” leads to some secrets a small town may never want uncovered? The simple life Laura was enjoying is quickly turned upside down as she looks for answers, against the better judgement of her elderly best friend and favorite bait shop owner Jed Thomas. He tells her she needs to leave it alone and let the police investigate. But that is not in Laura’s DNA. Jed knows this, and worries for his friend’s safety, but when Laura gets an idea in her head, there is no stopping her.
The Laura Weber series follows Laura through all four seasons, with a new mystery evolving with each installment. All small towns have secrets. Schmitzville is no different.
