“I should have punched her in the face.”
With these words, Hazel’s back. Having survived a stint as a werewolf’s accomplice on a mission of vengeance and redemption, Amiskwaciy’s notoriously unknown detective and self-professed asshole Hazel LeSage returns.
The aftermath of violence has left Hazel with questions, wounds and unexpected friends including Shanaya Bhattacharya, a most unusual lawyer whose thirst for wrongs to right leads her and Hazel into the claws of a conspiracy.
Hazel and Shanaya set out to find Hazel's ex-husband and renegotiate the terms of their divorce, in which Hazel unjustly lost her land. They stumble into a deadly conspiracy entangling the rural lands surrounding their home city of Amiskwaciy. Taking it on will force Hazel to come to terms with her past; surviving will mean accepting some most unexpected allies.
Meanwhile in Amiskwaciy, Hazel's nephew Devin, shaken to the core by the violent death of his childhood friend, has gone to ground in an unlikely lair. To emerge whole, he must get to grips with the primal wildness of his soul and begin to become a man of worth on his own terms.
Welcome back to Amiskwaciy, where the mythic has its feet up on your coffee table, and what you see might not be all you get.

Patsy Keane survived her childhood, and some days that's all that matters. As the child of an alcoholic mother, Patsy is not prone to nostalgia. She lives in a world of her own creation, where Beverly Keane's maternal shortcomings are just a bad memory. It would be a perfect world if Patsy wasn't eternally haunted by the memory of what really happened on the day her sister Kathleen went missing–and by the foolish lie she told that day. She's lived with it for forty-two years.
Since that terrible time, Patsy has distanced herself from everyone and everything in her past. She is now a well-respected teacher in Calgary, the proud owner of a vintage home, and the occasional companion of a lovely man who seems content to keep their relationship casual. It's a stable life–until a mysterious woman shows up at her door claiming to be Nora Stone, a childhood friend of Kathleen's. Nora further claims to have information about Kathleen's fate, facts she acquired in a manner that defies belief. As Patsy tries to figure out whether Nora is real, real but crazy, or something even more sinister, the rest of her carefully compartmentalized life begins to come apart, one well built piece at a time.
Before turning her pen to fiction, Sandra Kelly had a long and distinguished career as a writer of non-fiction, primarily for newspapers and magazines. As the senior writer on staff at Mount Royal College (now Mount Royal University) for ten years, she wrote everything from feature articles for the in-house publications to video scripts, speeches and fund-raising campaign literature. Concurrently she taught an acclaimed course called Writing for Publication, in the college's Professional Writing Program, and a variety of continuing education courses for fledgling writers. In the early 2000s, she wrote two romantic comedies for Harlequin before deciding that romance fiction wasn't going to be her specialty. Echo Lane is Sandra’s first literary novel, and her first novel for Stonehouse Publishing. Sandra says she “lives to write” but manages to squeeze in a little biking, hiking and kayaking with her husband, Bob, in beautiful Invermere, British Columbia.
