Why not live dangerously for a change?
She knows she’s smart, but she’s bored. When Sophie meets “Sam,” a pre-Internet police detective who depends on her professional skills at the Dorado Bay Public Library, she decides to retire and go freelance. He’s reluctant to hire her as a consulting researcher until she beats him to the murder scene and knows the victim. They awkwardly proceed to solve the crime with opposing techniques, uncovering a decades-old killing corporation and a religious cult, all in the same dysfunctional family.
SOPHIE REDESIGNED is the first in a series of Sophie and Sam collaborations to solve crimes committed under Sophie’s sharp nose for trouble. Elder issues drive 
the plots while family ties are tested, including Sophie’s relationship with her son Robin, who thinks “active retirement” should not mean sneaking around the country for clues. Then there’s the problem of growing warmth between two senior citizens who are past their romantic prime. Or are they?
SOPHIE REDESIGNED IS available through Amazon (including Kindle), Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores, and from Outskirts Press. PB Retail Price: $14.95. Watch for announcements of discounts for special events. Meanwhile, explore this website and find out what “Moxie Cosmos” says.
KAREN DAHOOD is a septuagenarian whose nonfiction writing career has included all of the arts and humanities and some health care. Elder issues became a special interest as she witnessed older friends and family members struggle to keep their dignity in a culture of ageism and denial.
“Aging is rewarding,” she says, “but too often for the wrong people.”
