The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson

Paperback, 308 pages

Published May 7th 2019 by Sourcebooks Landmark

The librarian and her mule spotted it at the same time. The

creature's ears shot up,and it came to a stop so sudden its front

hooves skidded out,the pannier slipping off,spilling out the

librarian's books. An eddy of dirt and debris lifted,stinging the

woman's eyes. The mule struggled to look upward,backward,

anywhere other than at the thing in front of it.

The book woman couldn't keep her eyes off the spectacle as

she shortened the reins and clamped her legs against the mule's

sides. Again,she prodded her mount. Baring tall,sassing teeth,

the beast lifted it's muzzle into the balsam-sweetened air,the

quavering brays blistering the sleepy mountain.
