HOMICIDE HIDEAWAY
Shandra Higheagle Mystery
BY PATY JAGER

Finding a body on your honeymoon isn’t something most newlyweds encounter, but for the sleuthing duo of Shandra Higheagle and Detective Ryan Greer, it doesn’t seem out of place. They are whisked by plane to a remote hunting lodge owned and ran by one of Shandra’s distant relatives.  They picked this place to keep Ryan from being called to work as a detective for the Weippe County Sheriff’s department.

The best part about writing this book was showing how well Shandra will adapt to being a policeman’s wife, and to introduce a character who will have his own series set in the area where Shandra and Ryan are honeymooning.

With each book I write in the Shandra Higheagle series, I try to show character growth in both Shandra and Ryan and sometimes even the secondary characters. I believe it is the changing lives and growth of the character as well as the mysteries that keeps the readers coming back for more.

I hope that growth will be seen in the main character in the new Gabriel Hawke series as well. He will have interested in two women, but the one he feels is out of his league is the one he is the most attracted to. Hopefully, his relationships with the two women will keep readers buying the books as well as the mysteries and the setting.

I’ve had a few readers ask if this is the last Shandra book. It may be book 12, but I still have ideas for more books. In fact, while on a weekend get-away with my hubby a couple weeks ago, I came up with the premise for the next Shandra book. Everywhere I go I see dead bodies or ways to kill someone, which is kind of scary! LOL But I can see something and think,  “A body could…. And Shandra could…” and my imagination starts spinning the ideas and premise for a book. I will keep writing as long as I can see murder and a way to link Shandra and Ryan to it.

EASY OVEN OMELET

NOTE FROM PATY: A quick and easy recipe I like to make for breakfast when I have company.

Easy Oven Omelet.
¼ cup butter
1 ½ dozen eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 cup milk
2 tsps salt
¼ cup chopped green onion
1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage or cubed ham
1 1/4 cup cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 325°F. In oven, melt butter in baking dish, 13x9x2 inches. Tilt dish to coat the bottom with butter. In large mixing bowl, beat eggs, sour cream, milk, and salt until well blended. Stir in onion, 1 cup of cheese, and either sausage or ham. Pour into dish. Sprinkle the ¼ cup cheese on top. Bake until eggs are set but still moist, about 35 minutes. 12 servings

Sometimes I’ll mix it up and pour it in the pan the night before. Then refrigerate overnight. If you do this, either let warm up to room temperature before cooking or cook and extra ten minutes.
