James R Callan's new Magnolia Bluff book, When a Sure Thing Fails, is available NOW!

Award-winning author James R Callan has a new book out, his second set in the world of Magnolia Bluff, a small town nestled in the Texas Hill Country. When a Sure Thing Fails is the twenty-ninth installment in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series and it's a winner! 

Eula Moore thought she was helping a man who'd had too much to drink find safe passage back to where he was staying. Instead, she finds herself waking up in the backseat of a car, tied up and she's not quite sure why. So begins a story filled with suspense, some humor, and plenty of bad guys.

After a successful career in mathematics and computer science, James turned to his first love--writing.  He has written several novels in his favorite genre, mystery/suspense, including the Sweet Adelines Mystery series, the Crystal Moore Suspense stories, and the popular Father Frank Mystery series. He's also the author of four non-fiction books. Solid storytelling combined with characters you want to spend time with has kept his readers coming back for more year after year.

In addition to his writing, Callan also speaks at writing
conferences and teaches writing workshops in Texas, Mexico, and online via Zoom. He and his wife split their time between homes in northeast Texas and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Here is the blurb for the book:

Seventy-eight-year-old Eula Moore is kidnapped on the first day of her vacation in the Texas Hill Country town of Magnolia Bluff. Knocked out by ether, she is transported to a cabin deep in the forest.

Eula is determined to escape, yet realizes she is miles from any town. But escape she does, and when she reports the kidnapping to the police, the detective notes she was not hurt, she did escape, and no ransom was paid. He says, "No harm; no foul."

Incensed by this, Eula decides to find the kidnappers and see justice prevail. She has only the first names of the kidnappers and doesn't know where she was imprisoned. With the aid of her granddaughter, Crystal, they track down the kidnappers. 

But things are not as simple as the kidnapping. Now, Eula and Crystal may have to deal with Four Fingers, a vicious, dangerous man, wanted for multiple murders and other crimes. 

Eula has no choice. She can easily walk away and leave all this behind. But can strong-willed Eula, even at age seventy-eight, leave things unresolved?
