Looking For Char? Here's a link.

One problem with publishing so many other articles is that it has pushed Char, my entry in the First Chapters-Crime contest, off of my front page, making it harder to find.  Here is a link to it.  Just click and you'll be there.

So what is Char about?  Here's the blurb:

I love mixing elements from different subgenres, and Char reflects that. Char is for the most part a police procedural set in modern-day Wisconsin. There is one major element in Char that you won't find in most police procedurals though: Char herself.

One Fourth of July evening near a small town in near-future Wisconsin, Char of the Real People walks out of a mud hole that she didn't walk into, wearing a deerskin skirt and carrying a crude wooden spear. She has a larger than life-sized wolf-head tattoo on her chest. She is bleeding from a spear wound in her leg. She finds herself in what to her is a strange and empty forest. She is apparently being chased by mysterious and powerful enemies. Is she dreaming? She hopes so, and that's the only explanation she can think of, but if this is a dream it seems frighteningly solid.

Two worlds are about to collide and a murder is about to happen. Will Char be a victim? A scapegoat? The murderess? A key witness to the murder? How will a very smart, very experienced sheriff sort out this mystery?
