"With The Rise of the Red Queen, Bourne Morris is poised to become the queen of academic mysteries and suspense." - Gigi Pandian, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mysteries "Red Solaris is intelligent, tough, and vulnerable, a tricky combination to pull off, yet Bourne Morris does so beautifully and has given us a lead character we care deeply about. The Rise of the Red Queen, second in the series, grabs you by the throat and the heart on page one and never lets go." - Annette Dashofy, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Zoe Chambers Mysteries "Intriguing characters, a complex, inventive plot with nail-biting suspense-I finished it at two in the morning!" - Jeanne M. Dams, Author of the Dorothy Martin Mysteries "Morris has written another delicious pleasure, providing intrigue, plenty of campus drama, and strong female characters. Academic in-fighting, Red's ambition to become the new Dean, and her detective love interest keep the pages turning." - Karen Penner-Johnson, Emerita Professor, Kansas State University "Journalism dean, Meredith "Red" Solaris is pulled into another mystery when a student goes missing from campus...With Red's job on the line, she's finding it hard to put all her energies into the search. But somehow, she will have to find the strength, because time is running out for the missing young woman. This series gets better with each book. Red is a multi-dimensional, believable heroine." - Books for Avid Readers "The story involved me quickly, the suspense mounting so high that when my e-reader battery ran low, the warning buzzer made me jump. Morris has created a complete mystery with suspense and emotions burning like a Nevada sunset." - Mark Bacon, Author of Death in Nostalgia City A beautiful student is missing. Did she leave on impulse, or was it something more sinister? When the young woman's grandfather pleads for help, journalism dean Meredith "Red" Solaris agrees to help search for the student, but doesn't know she may have to risk everything to find her. Worse yet, without solid evidence, Red and Detective Joe Morgan have little basis for investigation. Murky university politics-and Red's own struggle to keep her job-thwart efforts to find a girl held captive by a man willing to steal what he cannot win.

Author Bio: Bourne Morris began writing at Bennington College where she studied under the late poet laureate, Howard Nemerov. After college, she worked at McCall's Magazine and then went to Ogilvy & Mather, New York during the "Mad Men" era. David Ogilvy and his colleagues treated her wonderfully, promoted her several times and then sent her west to become head of their agency in Los Angeles. She had a splendid run in advertising. In 1983, she joined the University of Nevada Reno as a full professor in Journalism where she taught until 2009. She learned about campus politics when she served as chair of the faculty senate. She retired to write mysteries in 2009 after an equally wonderful teaching career.
