SILVERTON MYSTERIES features fun, fictional tales from the life of Pastor Alan Johnson and his wife Traci. Expecting to live a "normal life" in the small, quite town of Silverton, Oregon, they are little prepared for the unexpected, unbelievable, and sometimes unwanted events that ensue. LA PEREGRINA is a famous pearl once worn by Elizabeth Taylor which is found by Alan in his yard. The challenge of returning the wandering pearl to its rightful owner becomes humorously complicated. NOT IN SILVERTON is an old-fashioned murder mystery. Alan shares a clue with the police which helps them find and arrest a suspect. But is there enough evidence to convict in court?INVASIVE SPECIES Traci plants foreign seeds for house plants, never suspecting the danger lurking in this invasive species. The author dabbles in poetry, SILLY, SERIOUS, and SERMONIC.
