Phyllis Carlson hates gizmos, gadgets, and anything techno. She keeps her entire world as uncluttered by technology as possible, not an easy feat in the 2060's. But when someone murders her best friend, Phyllis faces the technology she despises head on in order to bring the murderous fiend to justice. Louisa is a professional writer living in northern California with husband, son, and a slew of critters, both domestic and wild. The family has been off the grid for over twenty years and keeps their carbon footprint small by doing without frig and water heater. Besides writing and caring for critters, both two-legged and four-legged, Louisa is the proud mama of a host of other little beings, namely veggies and flowers, who live in their 8'x16' greenhouse. Springs fills the air with flowers and song while frogs leap merrily underfoot. Life is sweet!
