The compiling and publishing of this book on history (and may I say also the romance) of Vernon Parish, was occasioned by the celebration in April 1971 of the 100th Anniversary of the establishment of this parish.Plans were made in late 1970 to print a Historical Edition of The Leesville Leader of which the undersigned is publisher. When I began digging for historical material, I found a wealth of it in old newspaper files and in the records of many history-minded citizens of the parish.I made a decision to prepare the stories and pictures for the newspaper in a style and manner that would permit me also to use it for this book. Herein you will find perhaps the best, though certainly not all, the history I printed in the special edition of The Leesville Leader. I felt that this collection of Vernon Parish history was of such importance that it should be made into a bound book and not left to the impermanence of our newspaper files.

In the small town of Tall Pine, Minnesota, at the Cup O’Delight Cafe, the townsfolk gather for what they call the Tall Pine Polka, an event in which heavenly coffee, good food, and that feeling of being alive among friends inspires both body and soul to dance. There’s the cafe owner, the robust and beautiful Lee O’Leary, who escaped to the northwoods from an abusive husband; Miss Penk and Frau Katt, the town’s only lesbian couple (“Well, we’re za only ones who admit it.”); Pete, proprietor of the Shoe Shack, who spends nights crafting beautiful shoes to present to Lee, along with his declarations of love; Mary, whose bad poetry can clear out the cafe in seconds flat; and, most important of all, Lee’s best friend, Fenny Ness, a smart and sassy twenty-two-year-old going on eighty. When Hollywood rolls into Tall Pine to shoot a movie, and a handsome musician known as Big Bill appears on the scene, Lee and Fenny find their friendship put to the test, as events push their hearts in unexplored directions—where endings can turn into new beginnings. . . .

Fast-paced and filled with pulse-pounding, heart-wrenching suspense, the final instalment of the beloved Knox and Sheppard Mysteries brings the journey of P.I. Madigan Knox and Detective Grace Sheppard to a dramatic and emotional conclusion. Two sisters with a troubled past. A murderer with a kill list. How long until he gets to them? Grace was seven years old when her sister told her she saw a dead body in their childhood foster home. Between that and the drug trafficking her foster father was eventually arrested for, it’s no surprise that Grace wound up a detective. But Grace’s world is turned upside down when she discovers her current homicide investigation is connected to similar murders in the neighbouring city of Amherst. Is she chasing a serial killer? Going back to the city where she began her career is complicated to say the least—her old colleagues seem hellbent on jamming her up. Grace’s sister Madigan isn’t a detective in the official sense, but that doesn’t stop her from answering a call for help from John Talbot, another child who spent time in the same foster home. John believes someone is after him…and it might be related to a crime their foster father committed—one that was never pinned on him. It’s not the first time John has dragged Madigan into a dangerous situation, but her loyalty knows no bounds. And after a shocking discovery, the sisters shift their goal to staying alive. It seems that anyone with a connection to their past is in danger. Someone is tying up loose ends…and fast. In this race against time, it will take more than the bonds they’ve forged to survive.
