Guess Who I Am

Hey, you don’t know me—but you do.

I’m Lark O. Jensen. And I’m also Linda O. Johnston

My first book, BEAR WITNESS, an Alaska Untamed mystery, is being published this month by Crooked Lane Books, says Lark.

My 56th and 57th books are being published this month, says Linda.

Yes, Linda is using her very first pseudonym for the new mystery series. BEAR WITNESS is the first story about Stacie Calder, a naturalist who loves to narrate tours about wildlife in Alaska. She brings along her wonderful, protective husky Sasha. And then one day a tourist on their boat who has been giving a lot of people a hard time disappears. Sasha’s wonderful sense of smell finds that person ‘s body on the shoreline the next day in an area their tour boat had gone on the day of the disappearance.

What does Stacie do? To protect her employer and others, including herself, she has to figure out whodunnit.

And there are more murders to come in the future. That’s what I say, and I’m Lark O. Jensen.

But then there is GUARDIAN K-9 ON CALL, the second Shelter of Secrets romantic suspense novel by Linda O. Johnston. It features a very special shelter where animals are saved. But they’re not the only ones. Homeless people are hired to take care of them—or not. Those people are actually under witness protection there.  And those people or their protectors are often open to developing very special relationships. That’s what happens in GUARDIAN K-9 ON CALL. where K-9 cop Maisie Murrran has to solve a brutal murder, and the most likely suspect appears to be a handsome, caring veterinarian, Dr. Kyle Kornel. Maisie has to figure out who really did it, as her relationship with Kyle begins to grow.

Okay, so who am I? Linda or Lark, depending…

And it’s all a lot of suspenseful, and sometimes romantic, fun.

Are you a fan of romantic suspense? One person who comments will win a copy of GUARDIAN K-9 ON CALL.

    I absolutely LOVE Romantic Suspense, it is probably my favorite genre. It gives me the feel good feeling of a romance with the thought-provoking thrill of a suspense so…the best of both worlds!
