ABOUT THE BOOK

Millie's Life Lesson #1 -  If life gives you lemons set out to save a town and get the badge and gun you've always wanted.

The small quaint lake front City of Safe Haven Harbor is not prospering in spite of its natural advantages as a tourist destination.  People and businesses should be knocking down the doors to develop in Safe Haven but they aren’t.   The City can’t afford to pay its bills and is laying off staff.  The residents are at a loss as to why their community is languishing and cash poor while other communities close by are booming. 

People are finally ready for change and the newly elected reform council has hired a young man named Mitch O’Keefe to unravel the City’s finances.  Mitch is thrown together with Millie Boyd through some very odd circumstances.  Millie is facing her own set of challenges and is initially a reluctant partner to the attractive Mitch as they work to solve the question of why the City has no money.   In doing so they set the stage fro Millie to discover her talent for unraveling mysteries.  Millie is nominated for election as city marshal not realizing there are dangerous forces at work.  She suspects there is more to the City's problem than a shortage of cash and to uncover the mystery she needs to be city marshal.

Millie experiences a series of adventures through which she blunders, struggles, and perseveres.  Will her dogged determination and natural talent results in her uncovering of the sinister activities behind the initial mystery?

I found this book to be truly enchanting. It is a rare blend of mystery, romance and humor-which is rare in books these days.It is well-written, with strong character development and good chemistry between the players.When I finished it, I was eager to find the next book in the series.I haven't enjoyed a book this much in years.

Having retired from public serviced I find the story line of the “Millie Series” to be entertaining and quiet well written. I have known and dealt with some of the “personalities” in the book. I had a hard time putting the book down once I picked it up. Kudos to the author, he brought the characters to life.
