ABOUT RAINED OUT AND OTHER TEXAS HOLIDAY DISASTERS: When a raging storm floods Central Texas, Attorney JD Thompson and his partners must run a disaster shelter for the town of Beauchamp. The flood waters creep closer to the house, the food supply dwindles, and power and internet fail while people and their pets grow clamorous.
However, JD’s real problem is a lost child who doesn't belong to anyone in the shelter. Can JD protect the boy and find his family, or will the storm claim one more life in a long list of tragedies?
Book 4 in the Black Orchid Enterprises Mystery Series contains three holiday novelettes in the Black Orchids universe with series favorites such as JD’s ABBA tribute band, pets, wildlife, a drag queen security force, and fierce elderly reformers battling to save their corner of the world.

With the recent horror of Texas floods, Rained Out and Other Texas Holiday Disasters offers a timely look at how people cope or don’t cope during a weather catastrophe.
