Description

Snowmageddon. Boston has reached the snowiest winter on record, and Sutton, Massachusetts isn't far behind. Morgan takes an April's Fools opportunity to document winter at its peak with her trusty Holga film camera. Made of plastic, using 120-format large film, a Holga is an exercise in mindfulness. Its plastic lens brings the fjord-like crevasses in the giant snow pile by the post office to life. And then she sees what's inside. Morgan's drawn into yet another mystery, this one set against the backdrop of Purgatory Chasm and Lake Quinsigamond, the Quabbin Reservoir and Ramshorn Pond. Through it all, with the support of her friends and Jason, she seeks a path of truth and peace. All author's proceeds of this series benefit battered women's shelters. Dogwood Dilemmas is the fourth novel in the award-winning Sutton Massachusetts Mystery series. All novels in the Sutton Massachusetts Mystery series are written in a boots-on-the-ground, chapter-a-day format. On April 1st, author Lisa Shea went to the parking lot of the Sutton Post Office, and then that evening she wrote up the actual sights and sounds of that visit. That was Chapter One. The same process held true for each subsequent day and location. By April 30th the book was laid out. Each book captures a moment in time; as a whole the series shows the progression of events, news, and nature in Sutton over the years. Lisa has lived in Sutton for over two decades and strives to craft stories which transport readers to her beautiful town. She offers a glimpse into Sutton's combination of centuries-old history and a modern, sliced-through-by-a-busy-highway existence. Lisa visits the actual locations mentioned in the story, experiences the atmosphere, and then infuses those rich colors, trilling bird-songs, and pungent fragrances into her story in a richly descriptive manner reminiscent of Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Then toss in an ample seasoning of local culinary delights, and this is the world of the Sutton Massachusetts Mystery Series!

Author Biography:

Lisa Shea was born in Maryland during the Vietnam War to a father in the Air Force and a mother who worked as a journalist. She grew up in various towns along the eastern seaboard, raised in an environment where writing and researching the past were as natural as spending weekends tromping through old-growth woods looking for stone wall foundations. Her concept of art focused on cemetery stone rubbings and photos of old homesteads. When Lisa moved to Sutton, Massachusetts in 1995, she finally found her true home. Sutton's rustic charm, dense forests, and bucolic farmland all resonated with her creative spirit. The stories she had been writing since she was young now had a fertile ground in which to flourish. Lisa's first book set in Sutton, Aspen Allegations, was written in November 2012 in a chapter-a-day style. Each day she explored Sutton and its surrounding areas and then wrote those experiences into the chapter. The mystery-romance earned a gold medal from the 2013 IPPY awards. Her second book, Birch Blackguards, was written in the same chapter-a-day style in August 2013. This earned a bronze medal from the 2014 IPPY awards. The third book in the series, Cedar Conundrums, was written starting on May 1, 2014. Book 4, Dogwood Dilemmas, was written during April 2015. All proceeds from the Sutton Mass Mysteries series benefit local battered women's shelters. Lisa Shea has published over 300 works on Amazon.
