Of course the Maine woods is good at hiding murderers ......In "Deadly Turn," Patton and her wayward dog Pock are hired by a research firm to collect dead birds and bats at wind power generation sites. When a turbine explodes, she stumbles over the body part of an unknown man whose death implicates both her and her dog.Under a brutal fall heat wave and the unblinking scrutiny of the game warden who is another mystery in her life, she's drawn into a battle with wind power developers and environmental activists.Adopted by a teenage trapper who moves into her cabin as he illegally raises an eagle to hunt over the dangerous wind site, Patton is, once again, offered only outlaw solutions to fight for a disappearing world while she tries to clear her name. Winner: Mystery Writers of America McCloy Award. National finalist: Women's Fiction Writers Association "Rising Star" contest. "Deadly Turn gives the forest a voice. I haven't read a book from cover to cover in years, but this novel delivered two days of nonstop suspense. Powerful human relationships intermingle with accurate descriptions of forests, ponds, rivers and streams; birds and the people who care about them become symbols of strength and resilience. From the opening sentence to the last, despite crimes perpetrated against it, Neily captures Maine's Northern Forest with fierce love and inspired storytelling." - Michael J. Good, Down East Nature Tours, Bar Harbor, Maine"I loved everything about this novel as it weaves a murder mystery around a destructive wind project in one of Maine's most beautiful places. Sandy's characters are very real, and she includes lots of great stories about birds, wildlife, and life in rural Maine. I guarantee, once you start reading, you won't be able to stop." - George Smith, conservation/environmental advocate

A story of girlhood friendships, Why Don't We Just...? is a look backward to a decade that began over sixty years ago. Janet Ruth and I were born towards the end of World War II. We tip-toed through the Korean War, came of age during the Eisenhower years, participated in the beginnings of school integration, sowed seeds of a lifetime friendship through girlhood antics, and were both married with a child by the end of that decade. In those ten years, as unmarried women, we missed Title IX, birth control pills, the Sexual-Revolution, the Civil Rights movement, the Women's Movement, legalized abortion, and drugs, (well, we did try diet pills). We adopted our parent's generation faster than what was to follow us. With no organized girls' sports and a lot of energy, ideas and freedom to wander, Janet Ruth and I, along with other friends, got busy creating the adventures and misadventures of these stories. We were privileged not so much with the wealth of means, but with the wealth of belonging, and built a lifetime of memories together. As Janet Ruth once wrote me, "We were our childhoods. I cannot remember mine without recalling yours."
