Speaking in Tungs: Volume 1 - Tapa blanda

2018 Florida Authors and Publishers Association (FAPA) President’s Awards in Humor and Chick Lit! In this entertaining first novel set in rural Pennsylvania, a young woman from San Francisco searches for her birthparents while beginning her first job as a home-health speech pathologist. She soon learns how hard one job can be as she navigates the backwoods of Tungston, ("Tungs") trying to comply with the needs of her quirky patients, all the while being stalked by a violent fugitive, and finding herself unexpectedly falling for the charms of a small-town, including one hot fireman. Through no fault of her own, she exposes a criminal who has been safely hidden in the thick forest, and now as he tries to stop her from exposing him, her patients' lives, as well as her own are in jeopardy.

Raised in Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania, Karla Jay has worked as a speech pathologist since 1982. When she is not working or at her home in Utah gardening or writing, she is traveling, seeing as many countries as possible—in particular, those with good coffee, ancient history, and great beaches. SPEAKING IN TUNGS is her first novel.
