All the Bad Stuff Comes in Threes: A Pat Garrett, Leigh McCracken Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780944851272)

Karen Weinant Gallob is an anthropologist who taught for several years at Metropolitan State College, Denver, and at the University of Colorado. She is interested in the relationships among language, culture, and human perceptions of reality. In addition to her Ph.D. thesis, A Study of Humor in Mauritius (complete with jokes), she has also published articles and reviews in her field, newspaper articles, and poetry. She wrote the "Carpe Diem in the Crawford Outback" series for the North Fork Merchant Herald from 2001 until 2005. Although they are their own accomplishments, she is most boastful of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Karen lives on the family ranch south of Crawford, Colorado, where nary a summer day goes by that she doesn't hear her husband, Dave, say, "This place could really grow some hay if we only had a little more irrigatin' water."
