My Second Wind: A novel of murder, mystery & love. Set on the campus of Texas Tech University.

Nobody moves to Lubbock on purpose. Except Maggie Grant. Widowed after a 30-year traditional marriage in Dallas, Maggie moves to West Texas for a new job as director of communications and marketing at her beloved alma mater, Texas Tech University. Her life becomes one adventure, one crisis after another as she faces an unscrupulous boss who appears to be deliberately sabotaging her work. Mix in suspicious and deadly fires at the university, murder and mystery that she alone can solve—can her friendships and faith sustain her through heartache, grief, deception and danger? Nationwide audiences will get a close-up and in-depth view of today’s West Texas that will forever erase any preconceived prejudices of a barren beige land and populace. Texas Tech University and Lubbock come alive in the depictions of time-honored traditions—Red Raider football, Saddle Tramps, Carol of Lights, Fourth on Broadway, eclectic student haunts and surrounding cotton fields. A fun romantic murder mystery that keeps you laughing, crying and guessing.
