In a previous incarnation, I was
a bartender, truckdriver, chili-picker, bookkeeper. Later,
I graduated to teaching, science writing and medical writing. In a fit of
insanity, I took up fiction writing and, after a century or so, found an
agent and publisher. I'm still writing. Today, it's a thriller or mystery
full of suspense, sometimes westerns, sometimes historical, but often with a bit of romance.\ |
Eye of the Mountain God
set for release
April 2010 by St Martins is my
fourth book.
An explosive combination...
A woman who finds five emerald arrow heads wrapped in her morning newspaper An autistic little girl who knows things she cannot know A man who relishes the events of nine-eleven and idolizes Che Guevera
Megan Montoya has come to New Mexico with her deaf young daughter to begin a career in photography. One morning she opens her newspaper and five jagged stones clatter to the floor. A jeweler identifies them as emeralds, an archeologist believes they may be the legendary emerald arrowheads used by the Pima Indians four centuries ago to lure away the Spaniards. Soon Megan finds herself embroiled in a separatist plot and struggling to save her child. Eye of the Mountain God, is Penny Rudolph’s fourth mystery/thriller. The action comes at you fast, with a cast of maverick characters including an eccentric octogenarian artist with a shocking past; and two extraordinary Hispanic women, one a sometime psychic who is funny, foul-mouthed, and angry with God, the other a stunning and charismatic hair stylist, speaker, and feminist.
