The Underground Authors are a collection of writers from the United States and Canada who banded together to support each other in the publishing process. Just for kicks we decided to do a group project and write a book of short stories.
We liked it so much, we thought, let’s do that again! We are publishing a book each month. Check back often for the newest release!
This time we decided to each write a mystery about Magnolia Bluff—a small town in the hill country of central Texas where people are dying at an alarming rate. We call our project
The Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles.
Madison Jackson is shot on her wedding day. Bleeding out as she fades into unconsciousness, she wonders what will happen to her child if she dies.
Texas law enforcement officer, Madison Jackson awakes to discover her infant kidnapped from her crib.
Was it revenge for someone Madison had arrested or something far more
sinister?
Madison’s estranged husband is incarcerated in Supermax. As the second
in command of a deadly Mexican cartel, did he issue the order to abduct
their daughter?

Justice - Amazon #1 Best-Selling Book!!
Bloody pants on a tree. A young girl’s mutilated body on the ground. This was the sight that greeted Officer Madison Jackson of the Texas State Department of Parks and Wildlife in Magnolia Bluff while on patrol just outside the town.
The autopsy results revealed that the girl had been raped before being brutally murdered. Further investigations identify the girl as a victim of human trafficking by the Jalisco cartel. This was so frustrating to Madison, especially because her department had busted a human trafficking operation earlier on in the year. Were they fighting a losing battle?
Determined to bring the young girl’s assailants to justice and stop the evil business, Madison finds herself treading a dangerous path that leads her into the heart of the Mexican cartels; human trafficking hub. What will happen to Madison?
