SPOTLIGHT: CAUSE FOR ELIMINATION by Marla A. White Plus Giveaway!

About The Book

Publication Date: October 10, 2022

Reclaiming her life after a devastating riding accident, equestrian Emily Conners’ world shatters again when she discovers her friend and boss laying in a stall with a smashed skull. Now jobless and with a handsome cop underfoot investigating the case, she’s torn between wanting the killer found and keeping her own secrets safe.

Detective Justin Butler always gets his killer, but this victim has a stampede of enemies and few leads to go on. Stonewalled by the tight-knit equestrian world, he looks to Emily for help, but she’s strangely reluctant. Is she hiding something, or is she afraid of their growing attraction?

As the search for the murderer heats up, their hearts become entangled and their lives at risk, forcing Emily and Justin to work together to find the killer before they strike again.

  1. Thank you for hosting, Dayna, nice to meet a fellow reader and gardener! I look forward to chatting with you all throughout the day. In the excerpt, Emily comments on the recent rain, something that rarely happens in LA but when it does can wreak havoc. The last time it happened, my street flooded out up to mid-tires of my car! Would you rather enjoy a book inside on a rainy day, or outside on a sunny beach?

    • You are most welcome, and I always love meeting fellow readers and gardeners! Our harvest season is nearly finished, but we had a banner year!

      Oh, flooding isn’t good! Living in a high desert community (Salt Lake City), we rarely have that problem. Drought is our issue. We pray (literally) for rain and heavy snowpacks to get us through the summers.

      I love reading on a rainy/snowy day with a cup of hot cocoa, snuggled under a cozy blanket. When I’m by the beach, I usually just soak up the sun and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean.

      • Upside of LA, gardening is nearly year round.

        Oh we’re in a drought. It hasn’t rained in months so when it does it takes about 2 inches of rain and 20 minutes for the storm drains to clog and the tiniest dip in the road becomes a lake. Used to be no problem when I had my CRV but my much shorter Fit bravely slogged through LOL.

        Since we don’t have many days cold enough to snuggle, I’ll have to take the beach but you have a point, the sound of the ocean ususally puts me to sleep!

        • Very true! The upside of seasonal gardening is you get a break! LOL!

          Our cucumbers are about finished. We still get a few here or there, but not the 12-15 every few days we were getting in the summer. The tomatoes and peppers are still delivering, but probably not for much longer. Most everything else has been harvested. My flowers are still blooming, however, so I love that!

          What I love about our community garden is the drip irrigation. That is really the best way to water a garden!

          We have some areas that regularly flood whenever we get a heavy rain, too. But they happen so infrequently that it’s usually not an issue. I have a CRV and don’t think I could ever return to a lower-profile vehicle.

          I have a Hometics machine that I turn on at night to block out other sounds, which is turned to the sounds of the ocean. I love it!
