What do you like best about writing?
When it is going well, writing permits travel through time and space into worlds full of events, landscapes, and characters of my own creation. It is an out-of-body experience.
Jane Bock
What do you like best about writing?
I like how it can take over so I don’t know when time passes. I am by nature a clock-watcher, but that disappears when writing is going well.

Coronado’s Trail
An Arizona Borderlands Mystery
by Carl and Jane Bock
$3.99 ebook, $14.95 paperback

In 1540, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado led an expeditionary force from Mexico into what is now the American Southwest. His journey provides the backdrop for this contemporary mystery novel. Deputy Sheriff Calvin Creede mostly works alone in one corner of Arizona’s smallest county. His job has been a simple one until the day a flash flood exposes the rusted remains of an old pickup. A body in the truck turns out to be the long-lost son of a prominent ranching family, and forensic evidence shows it was murder. Resolution of the case sheds fictional yet plausible light on a southwestern mystery that has been around for nearly five centuries.
