Beth Armstrong, a Denver biomedical scientist, wrestles with the impossible choice of saving her sabotaged, groundbreaking cure for multiple sclerosis or honoring an obligation to care for her cantankerous old aunt. Playing nursemaid ranks just a notch above catching the plague on Beth’s scale, yet her ex-flapper aunt would prefer catching anything deadly to losing her independence under the hands of her obsessive-compulsive niece. While a murderous culprit runs loose in the science institute, Beth finds her whole life out of balance. Unpredictable nefarious activities at the institute—which is rife with suspects—cause Beth to wonder if she can trust anyone, while at home her chain-smoking aunt entertains Beth’s neglected husband with nightly cocktails and raucous stories from the Roaring Twenties. The Flapper, the Scientist, and the Saboteur, 2016 New Mexico-Arizona award winning book, is a mystery intertwined with a generational battle-of-wills story between a dedicated professional intent on fighting chaos and restoring order, and a free-spirited aunt who insists her niece listen to her heart and learn to live in the moment.

Charlene Bell Dietz searches for adventures everywhere. After a near-death scuba diving experience forced her to switch to snorkeling, she continued to spend countless hours on the surface of oceans examining sea life in places as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Belize, Honduras, and in the Galapagos. Some of her land adventures include journeying up the Amazon River, hiking through jungles and mountains, hunting for and excavating New Mexico dinosaurs, wilderness camping, and birding in Arizona. After retiring she helped build her home on the edge of a forest in New Mexico where she's able to learn about wildlife from personal observations. Her guilty pleasures include Opera, jazz and classical music, painting, sculpting, drawing, and letting the muses whisper to her about writing. She attended the University of Wyoming and received her postgraduate degree from the University of New Mexico.
