Siren Song

For elementary schoolteacher Penny Pound, fitting in has always been a struggle. She's extremely creative, a little outside the box, and not nearly as curriculum-conscious as her boss would appreciate.

What Penny does have, however, is her pastime as an organist in her Episcopal church. There, she finds solace in the magnificent hymns, escaping from the heartbreaks of everyday life and a home left empty by the absence of her teenage son.

But this story doesn't start with the joyful melodies of church music. Instead, it begins with the unmistakable call of an emergency siren-as tragedy strikes the home of one of Penny's students, and an innocent life is lost in a fiery blaze.

It is this siren song that sets in motion a life-changing series of events, as suspicions are exposed and accusations begin to fly about the origins of the deadly inferno. But during this time of great suffering, can the efforts of everyday heroes work to bring peace to a devastated family and their shaken community?

Combining elements of humor, tragedy, romance, and spirituality, the debut novel "Siren Song" introduces protagonist Penny Pound, who navigates her way through the captivating mysteries that lie within her small town.
