Living
in Lake County- A New Author
Odie Pahl
Set back by the cruel exploits of her abusive husband and
haunted by an evil presence she can’t quite grasp, Police Chief Josie Oliver
finds herself drawn into the cross hairs of a vicious serial killer. Fighting
for her marriage, faith, and fate, Chief Josie is confronted by an Adversary
that only God can conquer—if she decides to let Him in. (excerpt Alabaster Vases)
Dr. Catherine Finger is well-known in Lake County as
an educator, administrator, board member, and Lake County’s Superintendent of
the Year. She has lead Grayslake High School District 127 for the last nine
years (she’s in her tenth year) making her one of the longest tenured
administrators in the county. Now, she adds one more hat to her collection,
novelist. Her blog states:
“Like her heroine, Police Chief Jo Oliver, Dr. Catherine Finger is
committed to protect and serve, but instead of handcuffs and handguns, she uses
her wit and wisdom as a high school superintendent and a community volunteer in
Grayslake, Illinois. When she’s not working or writing she can be found
enjoying God’s presence and the people of New Hope Church in Round Lake,
Illinois. She is passionate about sharing God’s truth through her fiction. Alabaster Vases is her debut novel and the first in the
Murder with a Message series.”

Being a writer myself, I know what a big undertaking writing can be for a
busy person with many responsibilities. I work on my future projects every
minute I can get away from my day-to-day schedule. However, I also understand
the great joy to follow your passion in a very tangible way to publication. On
January 1, 2015, Finger will celebrate her debut story with a book launch at
Dalton’s Cakes, 970 Harris Road, from 1-4pm in Grayslake. Munching on tasty
treats, while mingling in a literary atmosphere, is not a bad way to welcome 2015.
The book release introduces the first of a series of mysteries from Finger
through Deep River Books. Blending a faith-based message, yet having real-life
events sprinkled with mystery and intrigue has to be fun to write. I read the
excerpt from her website and very quickly I wanted to read more. The book
unfolds in this locality, so Lake County residents will recognize the area.
Originally, from Wisconsin, Catherine Finger, draws from her experiences, while
letting her imagination weave some interesting scenarios in a world of murder
and mayhem. The spiritual message is incorporated not to preach, but to
enlighten and to help the heroine and possibly the reader find answers.
If you can’t make the New Year’s Day release event, Alabaster Vases is
available on Amazon.com as a pre-order for only $13.17. This time of year,
Amazon has some great discounts and fast shipping. Who knows it may be shipped
from the new facility in Kenosha. Have you seen that building on 94? It’s huge!
What a nice boon to the Wisconsin-Illinois workforce. Happy Reading!
