The Wind in the Woods "Re-kindled love, a relentless stalker, an overprotected boy--woven into a compelling tale of the Blue Ridge Mountains." Part mystery, part family saga, and part love story, this Romantic Thriller reveals a man's devotion to North Carolina's Green River Valley and the camp he built to share its wonders; his daughter's pledge to hike the Blue Ridge, never suspecting that a serial killer is stalking her; and nine-year-old Alvin Magee's heart-warming discovery of freedom and responsibility in a place apart from his adult world. Charismatic widower, Tiger Morrison, spent a lifetime saving children from nature-deficit disorder, only to find himself in the fight of his life to protect his undisturbed world from the land grab waging in the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains. He's fighting to win Katie Warlick too, but she can't forgive him for not wanting her the way she wanted him twenty years ago.

Do you like stories about women who are their own heroes? Are you looking for action, intrigue, unforgettable characters and enough romance to keep you guessing? Then you've come to the right author. My six novels are Contemporary Suspense/Romances--all wih women as the main character, except The Wind in the Woods. They also have an environment theme interestingly woven into the plots. I hope you enjoy them. |

Karen Godwell isn't as much ashamed of her mountain heritage as of what she had to do to preserve it. She reinvents herself at college and doesn't look back till her clan's historic farm is threatened. The gutsy New York Metropolitan Museum curator returns to the mountains only to come face to face with who she was and what she did. Decendants of the early settlers still have a grip on the farmlands deep in the folds of the southern Blue Ridge Mountains, but the ground is shifting beneath their feet. Cousin Bruce, the town historian, sees life through the family's colorful two-hundred-year past; Tom Gibbons, a local conservationist, keeps one eye on the mountians and the other on Karen; Karen's nine-year-old daughter, Hali, is in the throes of the mission her dying father sent her on; and Karen is hiding the ugly secret that drove her away. As she wrestles her dangerously cunning brother for the farm, Karen straddles the divide between the staunchly independent mountain culture she comes from and the sophisticated world she has become part of. |
Praise for Render Unto the Valley "Render Unto the Valley is a many-stranded tale of three generations of a star-crossed family struggling to mend itself and preserve something of its rightful heritage. In the midst of this tempestuous story stands Travis Whitfield, as stony hearted a bad hat as you are ever likely to meet. But the female forces arrayed against him are formidable. Are they strong enough to prevail? Read and you'll find out. But be warned: It's a breathless ride." --Fred Chappell, North Carolina poet laureate emeritus and author of Ancestors and Others and Look Back All the Green Valley. |
Josua Simcox wrote in the Jan/Feb Issue of WNC “Rose Senehi, author of the widely praised Blue Ridge Series of novels, continues with her winning blend of romantic suspense and passion for environmental conservancy in Render Unto the Valley…her talent for authentic characterizations and high-tension plotting continue to grow.” Rob Neufeld wrote in Asheville CITIZEN-TIMES, January 1, 2012 “Senehi offsets suspense with local preservation and history details, and delivers handsomely. …even late in the novel, there are some intriguing surprises. Ignore the archaic title and glib first paragraph… and enjoy the ride. Midwest Book Review “A small town drama that speaks to the mountain life. Render Unto the Valley is an excellent and much recommended read, not to be overlooked.” Rapid River Arts & Culture Magazine, Review by Patrice Tappe "Using her own unique and descriptive writing style (reminiscent of Dean Koontz), Senehi offers the reader a well-conceived thriller and conveys a sense of breathless danger which escalates throughout...Rose Senehi's book delights with an interesting cast of characters, some quirky, many based on real-life people living in the counties of Western North Carolina."
