Gold Glen

Kathryn Carlyle is bored. The newly-minted journalism graduate hired as an intern for the major daily in Gold Glen, Colorado, high in the Colorado Rockies, finds herself frustrated by the menial editing work to which she has been assigned, when what she longs to do is some hard-hitting reporting. Anxious to make a splash, Kathryn submits a story about what she assumes is a run-of-the-mill -robbery. The robbery and its perpetrator are anything but ordinary, however, as the citizenry learns over a series of robberies that stymie the police. What started out as Kathryn’s rebellion against her assigned boredom propels her to a position of prominence as the principal reporter of what comes to be in the eyes of the populous a cause célèbre. In the course of her reporting on the robberies and the mysterious bandit, strange and what many believe other-worldly events occur, all seemingly tied if not caused by the thief and his escapades. Through it all Kathryn learns what the practice of working on a daily is all about as well as the true nature of the community of Gold Glen and the dirty little secrets behind the facade of evangelical purity the city’s prominent citizens put forth, secrets they struggle to keep hidden from Kathryn’s prying eyes and those of her press brethren as well as their fellow citizens and the world.
