HARD EVIDENCE (2007)
Available early December, 2007.
Come out, come out--wherever you are....
Someone is lurking in the woods behind the isolated lodge and cabins Janna McAllister has been fixing up. Who is he? And what could he want with a single mother who hasn't set foot in the Wyoming Rockies for years?
She's suddenly thankful for her unexpected lodgers, deputy sheriff Michael Robertson and his troubled young son. The strong, silent type, Michael makes her feel safe--especially when human remains are found on her property. But it's a cold case, until she discovers evidence that brings the killer out of hiding--a killer who now wants to see her dead.
And suddenly, it's no longer safe to trust anyone she knows.

Back in 1995, Roxanne's first manuscript won the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart in Long Contemporary, and in 1998 her second was a Golden Heart finalist. More recently, A Man She Can Trust (a February, 2006 release) won RT Bookclub Magazine's award for Best Superromance of 2006. Roxanne was nominated for RT's Career Achievement Award in 2005.
She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, International Thriller Writers, RWA, Author's Guild, Novelists Inc., the Faith, Hope and Love chapter of RWA, RWA's Mystery & Suspense Chapter, Christian Writer's Group International, and the Heart of Iowa Fiction Authors.
Roxanne lives in the country with her husband. All three children are now in college and working, so things at home have suddenly become much too quiet! Out on their acreage, they have three horses, two border collie mixes, an abundance of barn cats who much prefer cat food to mice, and a giant goldfish who summers in the horse tank and winters in the guest room.
The Rustands firmly believe in spaying/neutering all of their animals. But as in the old hobo days,there must be a secret feline code scratched on the barn door--"Stay here--good eats!" -- because feline newcomers are forever joining the barn cat population. If they stay for good, they get fixed, too...but apparently *that* message hasn't been shared!!
Roxanne has a Master's Degree in nutrition, is a registered dietitian, and works part-time at a residential psychiatric facility.
If you visit her website (www.roxannerustand.com) you can sign up for a FREE NEWSLETTER! It will be sent just a few times per year, with fun recipes, information on contest prizes and winners, and news about any upcoming book releases!
Also, please stop by the "Craftie Ladies of Suspense" blog, if you have an extra minute--where you'll find many authors of inspirational suspense. It's a fun place to check out!
