Triangle Reads: What local book clubs are up to
The Raleigh News & Observer had a short article about the Round Dozen Book Club in Wake County. The Round Dozen Book Club was founded in 1936. In the article they mention that my first book, Hiding Gladys is currently in their rotation of books. It’s a real pleasure to have one of my books being read by such a great book club!

Trusting Viktor Summary:
Betting her life savings on a risky offshore natural gas enterprise, brilliant geologist Cleo Cooper has high hopes for a big payday. But a violent attack onboard the drillship darkens Cleo’s optimism.
Days later, a man washes up on the coast near the drill site, but is it the man who assaulted Cleo? When Viktor, a promising young Russian geologist is hired as the dead man’s replacement, Cleo isn’t sure if he’s friend or foe. The truth seems to be lurking beneath the surface, and as she gets closer to it, Cleo begins to wonder if she’s standing between a murderer and a treasure worth killing for.

Praise for Hiding Gladys
Don’t miss, Cleo Cooper, the sexy, funny, no-nonsense geologist and mother of two adults, who is balancing job and lovers, a rattlesnake and a deerhound named Tulip, not to mention a surprisingly-placed corpse, in this fast-paced, captivating debut novel, Hiding Gladys, by soon-to-be star, Lee Mims.
Susan Dunlap
author of No Footprints
Hiding Gladys is fast-paced, lively and hard to put down, with Cleo Cooper a smart, fearless heroine. Lee Mims brings this intrepid geologist’s world to life as we watch Cleo chase her high-stakes mining dreams through the North Carolina backwoods, Smith & Wesson by her side.
