Priscilla Delgado
resides in Fairbanks, Alaska, as do the entire four generations of her immediate family,
and the Alaskan settings for her novels reflect her nearly forty years as an Alaskan by
choice.
She retired after many years as a public school teacher in Texas,
California, and Puerto Rico, the last ten as an Alaskan bush teacher above The Arctic
Circle. Then later, after eight years preparing soldiers on Ft. Wainwright for required
military tests, she decided to start another career. This time as a novelist. Suspense
novels, long her favorite genre for leisure reading, was the natural choice. To date, she
has four published novels: Leonard, Talking Can be Dangerous, Cold Water, and
Haphazard – all guaranteed to keep the reader awake all night.
Ms. Delgado attended The University of Texas and Texas A&I University
and holds a Master of Science degree in Educational Supervision with a minor in English.
She was an officer in the U.S. Air Force, a master teacher, and is a
great-grandmother and an avid traveler. She has traveled in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Canada,
China, and Egypt, as well as extensively in Alaska and in what is known by Alaskans as the
lower forty-eight. |

 LEONARD
Rose Lynn Kelly, young widow of Stryker Brigade Sergeant Bill
Kelly, has a priceless heirloom violin that the unscrupulous Leonard is determined to
have. From her home in Fairbanks to a remote cabin near the Arctic Circle, Leonard becomes
increasingly desperate, as well as ruthless, when each of his devised plans to take the
violin is thwarted. By the time Rose fully realizes that her nagging mistrust of
Leonard is valid, she has a knife at her throat.

 TALKING CAN BE DANGEROUS
Laura usually took the elevator, but
today the touch of fall in the air and the exhilaration of having received an unexpected
promotion at work, had left her full of energy. She was nearly up to the third floor when
the door of the stairwell burst open and a bloody, very dead body came hurtling down to
land in a heap at her feet. In the split second it took to look up and see him standing
there, gun in hand, their eyes met – she knew that Marcus Styver had recognized her.
When later she found her little talking
bird dead in his cage with his beck pointing to the news article about the murder, she
recalled Styver having remarked of the little parakeet that "talking can be
dangerous." Terrified, she quickly made arrangements to be included on the tour to
Egypt that had been planned by her friend Janice, only to find that distance did not
equate to safety.
Will the handsome Mahmoudel Sayed be
able to rescue the young women in time, or is he perhaps their elusive stalker just biding
his time to eliminate the one eye witness to a brutal murder?

Cold Water
He slammed against the
side of her pickup time and again. She was going over. She saw a flash of swirling water
below. She screamed as she crashed through the inadequate railing and bounced down the
mountainside plunging into the frigid Nenana River.
Her submerged, battered pickup,
empty and with both doors open, was spotted by a passing motorist. As hours turned into
days and no trace was found of her body, Rose Lynn Kelly, young, attractive widow of
Stryker Brigade Sgt. Bill Kelly, was mourned as dead by friends and family in Fairbanks.
But did actually a more sinister
fate await her as a prisoner at the hands of her attacker, the unscrupulous Luther
Demetri?

 HAPHAZARD
Two years after
purposefully ditching his little Cessna in the Pacific Ocean and falsely claiming his
drowning, the would-be-actor, Wendell (Dell) Wellbourne and his wife, Julia, now living
incognito as rustic Alaskan bush dwellers, have decided that it has become safe enough to
start cashing their insurance payments.
Unbeknownst to Julia, Dell has
also been involved in a "candy meth" drug deal with its headquarters in a remote
area of the Alaskan Interior where the missing and presumed dead wife of retired UAF
Professor Coleman is being held hostage.
When Hazard O' Reilly and
Associates, who are investigating the suspected insurance fraud, are getting too close for
comfort, Dell, who hasn't hesitated to kill previously when threatened, now plans their
demise.

 A Dark
Summer Solstice
A terrorist's black
van scattered screaming, midnight sun celebrants as it came careening through the crowds,
hurling bodies, blood and severed limbs through the air. Rose Lynn's scream was cut
shot as the van bore down on her and her children while she watched them riding the gentle
little ponies.
Three days later, at the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital
ICU, Rose Lynn awoke from the coma and looked up into her husband's bloodshot eyes.
"Sundown, where are our children? Where are Angel and little Sunny?"
