Meet Nan Sampson, the witty author of “Restless Natives.”

The first thing that will strike you about Nan Sampson is her wit. She can serve it up dry or juicy at any given moment in any conversation.

She has a creative vitality that is infectious. Story ideas come to her at a blurring pace. The real trick is sitting her down to work on just one at a time.

When Nan proposed her Ellie Gooden series, we fell in love with the idea of a Wiccan marketing exec turned small-town cafe owner…and crime fighter. Nan really takes cozy mystery writing to a new level that is modern and hip.

We are proud to introduce “Restless Natives”

and its heroine Ellie Gooden to the world. The first of hopefully a long and exciting series, “Restless Natives” is the ultimate summer beach read–a fast-paced, clever mystery with enough bite to keep you turning those pages. If this first book soon has you begging for more, we are pleased to announce that its sequel won’t be too far away. And, if you wonder what other radically different adventures are up Nan’s sleeve…

Ellie Gooden is the heroine of a fun new cozy mystery series by our first author Nan Sampson.

Wait. We haven’t even introduced you to Nan, yet!

Without any further ado–the very first author published by the Last Chance Press, and hopefully a frequent blog contributor–Nan Sampson.

Take it away, Nan!
