In 1943, Lane Mercer and Emmie Tesco had nothing in common. Well, nothing stronger than a town neither of them chose and careers they couldn’t advertise as agents within the Office of Strategic Services. During the days of Longview, Texas’s Friendly Trek Homecoming Parade, Lane was gearing up for the grand opening of a bookshop that also disguised an espionage safe house, and Emmie was chasing a criminal with evil intent through the US Army’s new medical facility, Harmon General Hospital, treating diseased and amputated soldiers. Emmie ropes Lane into international threats at Harmon General, making it increasingly hard for the two spies to navigate the Junior Service League, church life, or anything else that might be considered normal for a town sizzling with oil boom wealth. A friend from Lane’s past arrives and pushes against the fiction she’s created to distance her spy history from the wedding bells ringing her future. Emmie flirts with the idea of finding a life outside of the OSS but justifies the danger as a way to make amends for those she’s betrayed. Connecting the two women, to their surprise, is a rogue agent who targets them for crimes he believes they created. For better, or worse, they have to put aside their differences to share responsibility for stopping “The Grasshopper” before he blows apart the Big Inch Pipeline project and

PRAISE FOR HARMON GENERAL:
"The war that changed the world brought the world to East Texas through Harmon General, a significant US Army hospital that treated thousands of wounded soldiers in Longview. In Harmon General, we meet again Lane Mercer, a World War II heroine, and we enjoy again how the drama of her secret service to the nation and her complicated personal relationships pull us into the vast impact of the world war." -- Dale Lunsford, Ph.D., President, LeTourneau University
“Harmon General is a brilliant story for historical fiction readers! Set in World War II, the female spies, Army hospital setting, and drama amongst the Longview townsfolk kept me riveted and engaged until the very end.”
- Jody T. Morse

TWO SIGNED COPIES OF HARMON GENERAL
JUNE 22-JULY 1, 2018 (U.S. Only)
As their kiss turned heated, the phone rang. She was close enough to the desk to pick up the receiver and leave it off the hook for the next hour or so, but those three short rings followed by a pause and three more short rings followed by a pause, could only mean that Theo was calling. She couldn’t ignore the OSS if she wanted to keep the shop open. Pitiful cash reports and a renovation that had exceeded budget were reason enough to accept the government’s interference.
Stepping away from Zeke’s embrace, Lane breathed in a fortifying gasp of air. She held a finger up and said, “Just one quick second. I have to get this call.”
“Are you kidding? Let it ring.”
“I can’t.” She reached for the phone, knowing Theo would wait through four cycles. He’d programmed the operator to keep for the pattern, anticipating that Lane might be in a sales situation. “Between the Lines bookshop, on Fredonia in Longview.”
“I’m looking for a copy of Mrs. Washington’s cookbook. Do you carry it?”
She squeezed her eyes shut so she couldn’t see the disbelief on Zeke’s face. “Yes, I have one copy of Mrs. Washington’s cookbook.”
The operator paused. “Please hold.”
A perilously long fifteen seconds endured.
“Lane?” The Bostonian accent was clipped like he was calling from a public location.
She watched Zeke swig the last of his beer, toss the bottle into the trash, and march into the storefront. The clatter of a box as it toppled to the floor followed. She was sure he’d find something else to kick before her conversation ended. Squeezing her eyes shut, she fought through the conflicting feelings that battered her brain.
Reality reminded her she owed a debt to Theo that was bigger than any joy Zeke promised.
Defeated, she turned her back, tucking the phone close to her chin, and answered Theo. “You have the worst timing.”
