Get Notified when the PREORDER of County Legends becomes available!

Legends is a crime fiction novel with a sprinkle of suspense and thrill, infused with classic Italian-American, Jersey bred attitude and a strong Family influence.

It started as an arson investigation, and simultaneously became a murder.

Coco Barone, a small-town girl raised in a rural dairy farming county outside of NYC, has decided years after running away, its time for her return. A single mother now with toddler in tow, much anxiety surrounds the contemplation of moving back to the hometown and life she'd fought so hard to forget. Falsely believing she will have to adjust to life's slower pace up the country, she finds herself in a new career alongside her cousin at the family law firm, rejoining forces with her childhood best friend as well. Calm and peaceful tranquility was far from reality.

While settling this new foundation of her life, in a place she thought she'd long left behind - she rediscovers the definition of family. Can they solve the mystery of a family business arson, and at the same time, work to heal broken bonds developed over the past decade?
