Join novelist and former UCSC lecturer Robin Somers as she shares Eleven Stolen Horses, A Wild Horses mystery. Eleven Stolen Horses and Somers' other titles will be available for purchase and signing.

Eleanor Wooley is determined to start her life over in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. But when her new best friend suddenly disappears, Eleanor abandons her job as a crime reporter for The Gold Strike Tribune and sets off in desperate pursuit.

Spurred by gut instinct, Eleanor soon leaves California and scours Northeastern Nevada during one of the hottest, driest summers on record. Obscure signs appear—an intruder’s dire warning, a casino’s mysterious graffiti, a random sighting of a killer on the run.

In her search to find Rette, Eleanor discovers the dark world of today’s inhumane treatment of wild horses, and when the secrets of her trusted best friend’s past begin to surface, Eleanor finds herself in grave danger. With the backdrop of the American West’s high desert wilderness and its towering, rugged mountains and vast open range, Eleanor is forced to decide if continuing her search for Rette is worth losing her own life.

Eleven Stolen Horses was inspired by the time Robin spent living in the rural Sierra Nevada foothill town of Sonora, California, where she kept her horse, worked as a crime reporter for the local newspaper, and served as an editor for the United States Forest Service.

Author Vinnie Hansen and Kirkus Reviews call this a “great mystery.” Reviewer Mac Daly shares, “With colorful and complex characters, vivid scenery, and just the right amount of
romance, Eleven Stolen Horses was captivating throughout.”

Eleven Stolen Horses and Somers’ other titles will be available for purchase and signing.
