Rain City Comedy of Manners Series
by
Annie Pearson
When bad things happen to quirky people under grey skies…
The Grrrl of Limberlost
A murder in a Seattle coffee house. A murder on a decaying boat dock on Puget Sound. Samsara Byron, the security expert, insists this has nothing to do with her. She’s heroically fending off an attack on the world’s cyber infrastructure—if she could only get a cell signal.
Nine Volt Heart
He said, “I love you.” She said, “You don’t even know the real me.” He said, “Great title for a song. Key of G? Can we try close harmony?” Jason, the singer-songwriter, and Susi, a music teacher, meet by accident in Seattle. Secrets, songs, and stalkers quickly entwine their lives in unpredictable ways.
