RUNNING ON EMPTY by Karin Fitz Sanford

-

Welcome to my stop on Partners in Crime Tours for Running on Empty: A Wine Country Cold Case. I'm thrilled to be starting off the tour for this ex-FBI agent main character and I have a special guest post from the author as well.



About the Book:

This the second book in the series.
An ex-FBI agent. A murder. And a Ponzi scheme that rocks the wine country.
Anne McCormack, a former FBI agent-turned-estate liquidator, must find out who murdered a beautiful socialite and dumped her body on a remote wine country road 16 years earlier. Could that killing be connected to a current-day Ponzi scheme that has bilked Santa Rosa residents? McCormack thinks so and sets out to solve the case—but she'll have to keep her wits about her if she plans on outracing thieves and solving the murder without become a victim herself, for dark forces are working against her and she’s running out of people to trust.

More from Karin

My first Wine Country Cold Case book (THE LAST THING CLAIRE WANTED) had my young and intrepid ex-FBI heroine, Anne McCormack, starting up a new estate liquidation business, working with a troubled family, hiring on as a temp cop, and solving a decades-old murder. This time around, in RUNNING ON EMPTY, I wanted to throw Anne into a risky situation that tests her mettle. So although she once again finds herself in the middle of family drama and an unsolved murder, things turn darker as she struggles with her own questionable judgment—as well as a new, highly questionable romantic interest. She even gets a car chase. The fun of writing Anne’s continuing saga is in revisiting characters, while giving Anne new people to bounce off of—can Renee be trusted?—and new ethical dilemmas.

Hope you enjoy this latest outing. I’d love to hear what you think of Anne’s new beau—is he a keeper or not? Cheers, Karin

About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure.

When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle.
