My New Short Story is Available!

Posted on June 28, 2021 by Debbie

I’m really pleased to announce that WDM Publishing has released my second Supernatural Yellowstone tale!

THE CAT LADY OF YELLOWSTONE
by Debbie Mumford
Audience: Apocalyptic Fantasy | General Audience | Short Story

Grace’s family has lived and worked in what is now Yellowstone National Park since before recorded history. When men of European descent first arrived in the region, Grace’s people simply melted into the forest, maintaining their culture and keeping their supernatural secrets to themselves. Even now, generations later, their abilities remain unknown except to those who belong to the land. The women of Grace’s lineage form life-long psychic bonds with animals, like Grace’s bond-mate, Faith, a female cougar. But the physical world of modern humans still impinges on Grace’s people, hidden though they may be in the wilds of Yellowstone. When the apocalypse comes, will Grace and Faith be able to withstand its terrors?

Detective Gus Collier and his partner Jack Barnes solve crimes in Portland, Oregon, but that’s just the surface of Gus’s responsibilities. He’s also the seventh child of a seventh child, giving him paranormal abilities and a second partner, Sarah Allen … who just happens to be a ghost. A ritual murder during the ancient feast of Lammas, or First Fruits, will require all of Gus’s talents (mundane and paranormal) and both of his partners (living and dead!) to solve. Will Gus and Ghost find the answer in time to prevent a city-wide disaster?
