      Thanks, Pam. A constant theme in all the Letty mysteries is the Borderlands. In this third one, Daemon Waters, I address the issue of veterans returning from war and their functional and dysfunctional ways of coping with the trauma.

    Thank you so much, Judy, for hosting me. My private investigator, Letty Valdez, is an Iraq War veteran. She served as a medic. My book is dedicated to military veterans. “May they come home safe and sound in mind and body.”
