ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Wanda Dyson lives with her severely autistic teenager on a busy farm with horses, chickens, dogs, cats, rabbits, and the occasional fox, deer, groundhog, and snake. She could seriously live without the snakes, but that’s life in the country.<\/p>\n

After writing three critically acclaimed suspense novels, she was asked to write the true story of Tina Zahn (Why I Jumped<\/em>), which was featured on Oprah<\/em>. Readers characterize her books as “riviting” and “Packed with twists and turns.”<\/p>\n

Wanda serves on the board of several writers conferences across the country including the Colorado Christian Writers Conference, and the Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference.<\/p>\n

Wanda has finished the second in this series called Shepherd’s Run<\/em>, that will come out in 2010. And she’s hard at work on the third and final installment of the Prodigal Recovery Series – Marti’s story — tentatively called Shepherd’s Quest.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Bounty hunter Nick Shepherd is fearless when it comes to chasing down criminals. It’s his difficult ex-wife, rebellious teenage daughter, and dysfunctional siblings that keep him awake at night. In charge of the family business, the Prodigal Recovery Agency, he thinks of himself as a shepherd of sorts. When his “flock” is out of his control, Nick’s well-ordered universe falls into chaos.<\/p>\n

Prodigal Recovery’s search for Zeena, a prostitute on the run, leads to a faulty arrest, complicating Nick’s business. He is thrown together with Zeena’s twin, the beautiful Annie, and the two find themselves on a desperate search. The stakes significantly increase when Nick’s daughter is kidnapped. Now, to save someone he loves, Nick must risk everything, but will it be enough?<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The first book in Dyson’s new Prodigal Recovery Series, Shepherd’s Fall<\/a> focuses on Nick the oldest Shepherd whose father left him in charge of the family bounty hunter agency. Nick’s life is complicated by a business that needs financial help, a brother who doesn’t meet his expections, a missing sister, tension with his exwife, and a teenage daughter who is acting out. What he doesn’t need is more stress but that is just what he gets (and more) when a man he helped put away is determined to follow through on his threat of revenge.<\/p>\n

Well crafted characters and a plot with enough twists and turns to keep most readers guessing makes Shepherd’s Fall<\/a> a book to keep you turning pages until the very end. One thing for certain, nothing in this narrative is quite what it seems – there are surprises around every corner! Shepherd’s Fall<\/a> is filled with danger and suspense but also holds some serious lessons in relationships. I would recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a good mystery and am looking forward to the next installment myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
