Lottie's Unexpected Literary Adventure

Great things often come in unusual packages

A stormy Atlanta morning at the airport.

Watching delays and cancelations stack up.

The definition of miserable for most travelers.

But Lottie finds the good whenever she looks for it.

Then an odd discovery sets off a citywide adventure.

Will Lottie solve the puzzle before it's too late?

An excerpt from Lottie's Unexpected Literary Adventure:

A Most Unusual Find

Lottie smiled and hummed to herself as she picked up the phone. A quick text message to the  office—who surely knew better than she did how bad the weather was today—and she moved her suitcase so she could prop her feet up and get comfortable.

She knew the lounge membership was so she could settle in and work, like so many people around her were doing right now. But she could hardly create technical documentation for equipment she hadn't even seen yet.

Time for a nice, long read.

She reached under the chair where she'd stashed her pocketbook and bumped a cool, sharp edge instead. Frowning, Lottie leaned over until she could grab the whole thing in her hand.

"Huh," she said under her breath. "Now who on earth left something like this here?"

A book, an honest-to-goodness printed book, unlike the electronic one she'd been planning to dig into. An old one, too, heavy and thick, a hardcover with a black dust jacket.
