Meet Detective Donna Summer Wyznecki of Las Vegas, Nevada. Yes, she's named after the disco queen. Her dad named all six Wyznecki kids after disco royalty. Dad loves disco.

Donna's love life is a Dumpster fire, and when her best friend gets engaged, the flames grow higher. Donna stands five-foot-nothing and sports a 97-pound frame. She has a metabolism issue and must eat like two teenage boys just to maintain that weight. Don't hate her too much! She has to track down the psychotic culprit behind a terrifying explosion. A bomber who calls himself The Messenger is causing chaos and panic, something a tourist town cannot tolerate. Donna chases down clues (and carb-laden snacks) aided by the squad she calls her Disco Divas: a part-time psychic, a Shirley Temple lookalike, and her seven-foot-tall partner.

Can Donna stop The Messenger, or will he succeed in destroying all she holds dear-the casinos, the Elvis impersonators, the buffets . . . and the people, she cares about the people too. Well, some people . . .

At First I Was Afraid is the first in a new series featuring Detective Donna and the Disco Divas. Go on now, go! Walk out that door-and buy a copy of At First I Was Afraid today to find out if Donna is petrified or if she will survive!
