Marva Dale is the pen name for author Debra McReynolds.  Retired from the public relations field, Debra now spends her free time indulging in her passion for writing.  "I used to fill my school notebooks with stories," Debra relates, "and then add artwork to go along with them.  My second grade teacher, Mrs. Daley, predicted that I would be a writer one day."
A fan of the mystery genre, she enjoys crafting tales with a twist of suspense, a touch of romance, and a bit of humor. 
Debra and her husband, Dale, make their home in El Paso, Texas, with their dog, cats and rabbits.

In the 22nd Century, Los Angeles Detective Cadye Parrish has been called in to help in the murder case of Gavin McAllister who lived on Terre Celeste, the wealthy second tier, and who worked for the Senesco Institute. Digging deeper, she finds a terrible plot involving an age-inducing drug produced by the institute and the unwitting victims of the conspiracy who all danced at the Midnight Lace Club. During her investigation, she meets Dane Merrick, the public relations man for the foundation. And now as she becomes intimate with Dane, Cadye finds she just might be falling for a mass murderer.


Stratus Fear

Nursing my drink, I sat back and tried to relax.The mauve walls of the Midnight Lace club had started to get on my nerves, the same for the music blasting from all sides and the spot lights doing a flashy swirl around the room as one dancer after another came on stage to do her bit.They all seemed to perform the basic moves, a shimmy and a shake, a pout and a wiggle, and then a sexy walk up and down the elevated runway before mounting a dance disk that hovered overhead.Strobes whirled around the bases of the disks and added to the general light show.I recognized the dancer who had just come on stage as Cherry Jubilee, tall, well-built, and with scads of titian hair.She wore a shiny red outfit and a train of white tulle decorated with cherry polka-dots. The costume barely covered her enormous tits, but that seemed to be the general idea.Tonight I had seen more shapely legs, tight asses and big breasts than I would care to remember.And these girls knew how to strut their stuff.
