Violet Temple Pulls the Oh Crap Strap
Book 1 of the Alaska Menopausal Mystery Series
In this laugh-out-loud mystery mixing the manosphere, menopause, the lost work of a 1950s romance novelist, and some of the wildest waters in Alaska, a loner learns she can’t save her business without the help of a found family of misfits.
Marie Ryan McMillan writes stories about aging, reinvention and the pull of wild places on Tlingit Aani. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her kayaking, hiking, reading or hosting great conversations on her podcast.
