In Old Acquaintances Rissa is confronted with an unknown enemy that turns her life into a living nightmare. She tries to convince herself that everything happening around her is just coincidence, but she can’t fool herself for long. When horrible things keep happening, she turns to her best friend Matt for help. But who can she turn to when he suddenly jumps to the top of the suspect list? With only a few leads to go on and nowhere to turn, Rissa wants to use herself for bait but the police want to put her in protective custody. While they are butting heads, things are heating up as the body count rises and the suspect list dwindles. Detective Stone is put on the case. He is a well-respected detective that lives up to his name, but will he be able to figure it out before the killer decides it’s time to end the game and destroy Rissa for good? Who will be left standing when the smoke clears? The twists and turns in Old Acquaintances keep Detective Stone and Rissa guessing from start to finish.

Ronda Gaynor is the author of the children’s book, Debbie the Duck. Ronda loves
children and feels reading is absolutely necessary for their development. As a
child and teenager, she was an avid reader. It was common to see her reading as
she was walking to and from school. Reading during class (biology and math) was
a common complaint of some of her teachers. Her mother felt she ruined her eyes
reading with a flashlight under her bed covers at night. She lived in many
places after the age of ten Ohio, Georgia, Washington D.C., New Hampshire,
Nebraska, and several towns in Texas, Big Spring, El Paso, Grand Prairie and
Laredo. But always returned to her hometown of Sperry, Oklahoma and continues to
dwell in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. Businesses her family engaged in were
farming, running a dairy, raising and breeding Appaloosa horses, raising pigs,
rabbits, chickens, cattle, building and racing dune buggies and operating a
custom butcher shop. Ronda began her own business career at the famous Mayo
Hotel in Tulsa. Accounting is her favorite and current occupation but she has
also worked in photography, aluminum products such as building screens,
installing storm windows and doors and she worked as a plumber and has her
mechanical and plumbing journeyman licenses. In her younger years, Ronda
enjoyed scuba diving, water skiing, snow skiing, horseback riding, fishing,
hiking, and camping. She continues to enjoy traveling having been in most of
the U. S. States, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Germany, France, Amsterdam and Italy.
Two years after her mom’s
tragic death, Rissa is finally ready to get on with her life. But someone
else has different plans for her…
First time author Ursula Gorman’s passion for reading led her to start writing down story ideas that she thought would make a great book. This habit led her to write her first novel, Old Acquaintances. Mystery, suspense and intrigue have always been her book
style of choice and so it was only natural she follow the same path in her writing. She credits the Lord for allowing her to pursue her dreams of
writing and for her supportive family. Ursula lives with her husband and two children in the Missouri Ozarks.
