Project Scarecrow

Serena is a clever and flippant detective who solves crimes by following her whims. Is she the best choice for the world’s first time travel investigator? Agent Estep doesn’t think so, and he never misses a chance to remind everyone of his objections. Meanwhile, Estep is saddled with “managing” Serena with the help of techie-gypsy eccentric burned agent Beav and a crew of scientists, agents, and military experts.

More about the Serena Wilcox Mysteries:

Serena Wilcox is a quirky former private detective, a happily married wife, and a mother of three. While Serena is far removed from the political scene, President Ann Kinji is drowning in a divided nation riddled with conspiracies, power-hungry government and criminal politicians. President Kinji calls upon government outsider Serena Wilcox. Can Serena save the day with her unlikely crew of vigilantes and burned agents?

The Serena Wilcox Mysteries began with three novellas published from 1998-2000 that developed a cult following (Gene Play, Virtual Memories, Camp Conviction). The Serena stories evolved into a popular series of fast-paced full length thrillers beginning with book one, Angels Mark. The series has a total of 12 books, plus a spin-off series called "10 Chapters".

The Serena Wilcox Mysteries is an unusual series with unconventional themes. Because the books are fast, clean reads, they are a good choice for reading while traveling, sharing with YA readers, or nominating for a book club selection.

The next two books in the series after Project Scarecrow (book 4):

Ruby Red (book 5): To investigate the men of the future, Serena must journey into the past. The government entities of the future are beyond sinister and they will stop at nothing to gain power over time travel technology. They threaten GSI, Serena herself, and ultimately the future of the entire planet. Why are the men of the future obsessed with the horrors of the past? Can Serena uncover what they are doing before it’s too late?

Future Beyond (book 6): Serena Wilcox investigates corrupt governments of the past, present and future with her heroic crew. Serena is attacked by an evil power that manipulates her memories and uses them against her. The future of the world depends on her ability to see the difference between the truth and deception. Is Serena strong enough to fight against the evil that lurks in the future beyond? And what if the monsters of the future are ourselves?
