Praise for The Chameleon Chronicles: "A delightful and atmospheric adventure set on picturesque Orcas Island, full of boats and romance and theatre people and drinking chocolate and a vulnerable but determined heroine you instantly root for. The rain-lashed small-town setting is so real I want to step right into it." --Tina Connolly, Nebula-nominated author of "If the strange, haunting setting of Orcas Island doesn't drag you under, the introduction to a main character as relatable and smart as she is strange will surely keep you turning pages to find out what will be revealed on the next pages. Orcas Intrigue is a unique, fast-paced, eerie mystery set at what feels like the edge of the world...and it will keep you on the edge of your seat." -- bestselling author Lyla Payne is one of those rare cozy mysteries where the landscape-beautiful and compelling-is as much a character as any of the interesting people that inhabit it. Laura Gayle presents Cam as a sympathetic heroine with a real and unusual problem. While reading I needed to know how she was going to learn to deal with that problem so she could get on with her life.
