Current Words Project:

Rainbow Horses

is the first title in a series of mysteries featuring

a woman sheriff 

working in an Idaho county (larger than the state of Massachusetts) described as "the American Serengeti."

She thinks of herself as a "peacemaker"

trying to hold together a place that includes:

 old-time ranchers, 

birders who arrive twice a year from all over the world

 and fly-in billionaires buying up the land and water.

Of course, murder happens.
