The newest books in the Josephine Stuart Mystery Series

Dear friends, I'm so so late doing this (my mind is in quarantine

and my mental clock has stalled). Enough with the excuses

--here is my newest book, "Dead On A Rifle" published in 2019.

Most of it takes place in Aptos California--all parts of Aptos--

even some places nobody knows about but me.

Hope you enjoy the ride!

My next Josephine Stuart mystery, Lost & Bound, is coming out

sometime this month. I can't wait to see what the cover will look like.

Author Big Jim Williams' New Book

If you like westerns--or even if you don't, Jim will have you
feeling the dust in your mouth and excitement on every page.

If you don't live in Aromas, California, you might not know about the Aromas Bridge that has recently been dressed up with 75 colorful fish--all swimming toward town. Each fish is 42 inches long and painted by a volunteer using five vibrant colors of acrylic mural paint. Our volunteer painters were all ages, 10 to 80 years old, with or without painting experience. They carefully designed their fish, and the results are magnificent. Three generations in my family had a good time painting fish. I watched a senior couple paint one fish with their granddaughter.

Now that our river is clean and the steelhead are back--75 colorful fish have joined the fun. This is the ninth mural to be organized and donated by the Aromas Hills Artisans.
