Dana Mentink - Confessions of a
California Christian Fiction Writer
I live in a strange state. Our famous
Golden Gate Bridge is actually orange,
we wear flip flops year 'round and our
cows are reputed to be the happiest in
the nation. A wee bit strange? You bet,
but it's the perfect home for a
semi-desperate mother of two who
writes romantic suspense books and
relishes life in the Golden State when
she's sane enough to pay attention! So
kick off your flip flops and stay a spell!  
Thanks for coming by!  Dana

Stranger Than Fiction
This just in...for those of
you who enjoyed my cozy
mystery series set in the
fictional seaside town of
Finny, California, I've just
received word that they will
all be released in ebook
format. Will keep you
posted!
After his brother is convicted of murder,
Shane Mason will do anything to clear his
name. But when his investigations lead him
to enter South Dakota's Desert Quest
extreme race, Shane is floored by the
surprise waiting for him. Kelly Cloudman—
the woman he can't let himself love—is the
race's medic…and the killer's next target. A
painful memory from his past divided Shane
from Kelly, but he's not going to let her out of
his sight again. Even if it means revealing his
secrets, Shane won't stop until he's found the
truth—and kept the murderer from striking
again.
The last book in the 'Badlands'
series is available now on
Amazon, in kindle and print format.
