Synopsis

When Skyler Moore decides to spend the summer at her seaside cottage in Wabanaki, Maine, with her best friend—celebrity chef Brenda Braxton—they have no idea that murder will be on the menu. But women are turning up dead in the once sleepy village where nothing ever happens. With the residents up in arms and the rinky-dink police force overwhelmed, Skyler and her friends feel compelled to lend a hand to save the town they love so much.

The backdrop is classic New England Americana: lobster rolls, the whole town out for the Fourth of July, and summer evenings cooled by the ocean breeze.

Fiercely independent, insatiably curious, and always up for an adventure, public relations hotshot Skyler Moore is a hero for our time. She's decidedly not a sleuth by trade, but mayhem often comes knocking as she and her friends visit the small towns and big cities of America.

This mile-a-minute adventure will keep you turning the pages to see what comes next for her and her Down East 'friends.'

The New Mexico Scoundrel [2]

Christmas Can Be Deadly! When public relations hotshot Skyler Moore agrees to spend the holidays in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with her best friend—celebrity chef Brenda Braxton—it’s not all eggnog, candy canes, and Peace on Earth.

Because wherever Skyler goes, mayhem tends to follow. A world-renowned opera singer is being stalked and it’s up to Skyler and her friends to make sure the diva will live long enough to grace the world’s stages once again.

The snowy, high-desert locale is the perfect backdrop for this mile-a-minute adventure, with a few scoundrels on the prowl. Old and new friends alike take in Santa Fe’s unique arty charm, enjoy more than a few five-star meals, and dodge several bullets. There’s a bomb, a kidnapping gone wrong, and a few strangers in the woods, too, making this Christmas frightful.

Witty banter, lifelong friendships, new love interests, and a charred Christmas tree round out “The New Mexico Scoundrel.” Fresh on the heels of Skyler’s first adventure, “The Maine Nemesis,” this is Book 2 in the Skyler Moore Thriller series, with a third, “The Nevada Saboteur,” due in Fall 2019, and more in 2020.

About the Author

R. Scott Wallis is endlessly inspired by his surroundings and adventures. And he thrives on new chapters and creating unique projects to keep himself out of trouble.

Scott started his working life as an advance person and assistant to a sitting United States Vice President. Later, he served as the creative director for a leading Washington think tank. That led to working directly for one of the richest men on Earth, conceiving and executing exclusive events for his billionaire friends.

Tired of working for the man, Scott became a top-rated pop-culture podcaster and celebrity interviewer, while also dabbling in both the worlds of clothing manufacturing (creating his own baby clothes brand that was sold in over 300 stores nationwide) and retail sales, with his own well-received men's clothing store.

Always willing to lend a hand or donate what he can, he's an enthusiastic philanthropist, championing causes such as childhood bullying, animal adoption, and feeding the less fortunate.

A wide-eyed world traveler, Scott has been to four continents, mostly by sea. While he loves exploring Europe and the Caribbean islands, it's the vast United States that he likes best. He's been to Alaska four times, Hawaii twice, and can't wait to explore the eight states he hasn't been to yet.

Technically a Connecticut Yankee, Scott grew up in historic Williamsburg, Virginia, and lived for 25 years in the Washington, D.C. area, before recently discovering that the American West is where he is most at home. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
