When asked why she chose to set a story at the Space Needle, the author said, "When my husband and I traveled around the United States for three years doing research, photography and writing, our visit to Seattle was one of my fondest memories.  The Space Needle was so remarkable to me; it was so much fun, and the views so fantastic.  I felt like I was in a James Bond movie, and just knew this locale and history would make an intriguing mystery for kids!"

The Mystery at the Space Needle is available for pre-order today at http://www.gallopade.com and will officially hit bookshelves in April of 2016.
