Author Anne Da Vigo

Night Flight

It’s 1955 in Denver, Colorado. Hannah Brightman is a lonely 17-year-old high school girl. One frigid winter night while skating at the lake she meets Jack, a 

handsome married man. Flattered by his attention, Hannah begins an affair, but quickly realizes Jack is a violent schemer planning an unthinkable crime. The clock is ticking as she struggles to notify authorities and extricate herself, but Jack lures her into a shadowy vortex of greed and revenge. Can she break away before it’s too late? Night Flight is a novel inspired by a real crime almost forgotten today—one of the most horrendous mass murders of the twentieth century.


Night Flight tells the story of Hannah, a fictional high school girl who has a brief affair with the real-life John Gilbert Graham. He was the culprit who, in 1955, placed a bomb in United Flight 629, the passenger plane that crashed near Longmont, killing all 44 persons aboard. 

"I have a particular interest in the crime, since I grew up in Lakewood and the bomber attended my church. I didn't know him, but as I wrote the book, I found that I had several eerie connections to the surrounding events. With the connection to Longmont, I think Night Flight will be of great interest to readers, especially considering the link to the anniversary of the crime."

"Engrossing, realistic, thought-provoking. Night Flight is a riveting, memorable read." -- Online Book club.

ABOUT


Anne Da Vigo is a mystery writer who spent nearly 20 years as a journalist covering crime and courts for newspapers throughout California. She wrote stories about Mafia retirees in Palm Springs and the windmill 


tax scam in the Coachella Valley, as well as a murder-for-hire in Sacramento in which she nearly went to jail for refusing to reveal her sources.

Her award-winning thriller, Bakersfield Boys Club, was inspired by a series of Central Valley murders that became known as the Lords of Bakersfield cases. Da Vigo covered the trial in the first of the crimes, the stabbing death of a local businessman. A 13-year-old boy prostitute probably attended the all-male party where the murder occurred, but was never called to testify. The youth, along with other vulnerable boys, was used for sex by prominent men in Bakersfield including, she later learned, her boss at the newspaper where she worked. The young victim of sexual abuse was later arrested and convicted for murdering one of his abusers. The cases remained on Da Vigo’s mind for years before she finally sat down at the computer to write her thriller.

She is the author of two other mysteries, Thread of Gold, a three-generational story set in New York state’s Finger Lakes, and her current release, Night Flight, inspired by the bombing of United Flight 629 out of the Denver airport in 1955.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Sometimes my artistic style is a slow rocky road with a few wonderful small delights along the way. Sometimes my art is fast a fabulous creation. Other times my artwork has missed the mark. After giving it a rest, it is recycled as a foundation to build a more contemporary piece from what comes to mind at the time I begin again anew. Weekly, Erna paints in oils or watercolor plein-air at our local open space parks and nearby mountain vistas. Occasionally, Erna teaches art in her studio and at the Louisville Art Association. She shares her artist journey at her Niwot home studio/galllery @ernastudio &

Authors Erika Krouse and

R.L. Maizes

Save Me, Stranger

by Erika Krause

From the coldest town on earth to a sex shop in Bangkok to a haunted bed-and-breakfast in the Rockies, we meet characters at hinge moments. A runaway fights for her future while driving an ice-cream truck in gang territory; a cleaning woman investigates the teenager who died in her stead; a terminal patient in Alaska discovers new life in helping others die. This collection explores the borderlands between humor and hurt, community and self, and hope and despair, redefining what it means to survive.

Scalpel-sharp, unsparingly funny, and achingly wise, Krouse's expansive stories build to unforgettable emotional catharses, as these men and women must decide how far they are willing to go to save one another--and themselves.

A Complete Fiction

by R.L. Maizes

With little evidence, would-be author P.J. Larkin serves a "nibble" on the trendy new social-media app Crave, accusing editor George Dunn of stealing the novel she submitted to him for publication.

The nibble shoots to the top of the site's Popular Menu Items and before you can say "unpaid literary labor," George is embroiled in a scandal, his job and book deal in jeopardy. P.J.'s novel is snapped up amid the publicity, but has she revealed her sister Mia's secrets in the book? Some diners on Crave think so, and now it's P.J.’s turn to feel the public’s scorn.

Told in the humorous vein of Where'd You Go, Bernadette, A Complete Fiction examines the very serious questions of who has a right to tell a story, and has cancel culture gone too far in our social media-drenched world?

Erika Krouse is the author of four books of fiction and nonfiction: Save Me, Stranger; Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation; Contenders; and Come Up and See Me Sometime. Erika’s memoir, Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation, is a New York Times Editors'
