I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
It was a crisp autumn day in Redwood City, as mourners gathered for the outdoor funeral service of beloved local businessman, Henry Pritchett. Among the crowd sat Walter Jenkins, a retired police detective known for his keen observational skills and penchant for solving mysteries. Flanked by his closest friends, Maggie and Tom, Walter watched solemnly as the minister delivered the eulogy.
As the minister's voice resonated in the crisp autumn air, a sudden gust of wind swept through the crowd, rustling the colorful leaves that blanketed the ground, along with the dead redwood needles that often accompanied them. Walter adjusted his fedora and leaned in to whisper to Maggie and Tom, "Something doesn't sit right with me about this whole affair. Henry was no ordinary businessman, and I can't shake the feeling that there's more to his passing than meets the eye."
Maggie shot him a concerned glance while Tom furrowed his brow, "You think foul play was involved, Walt?"
Walter nodded thoughtfully, his mind already beginning to churn with possibilities. "I can't say for certain just yet, but I intend to find out. Let's pay our respects for now and then do a little digging of our own once the service is over."
Suddenly, a gunshot pierced the air, shattering the somber atmosphere.
