Times are tough in the newspaper business these days. In between staff cuts, furloughs and declining advertising dollars, Jubilant Falls Journal-Gazette editor Addison McIntyre hasn't got time to listen when candidate Rick Starrett claims his opponent Virginia Ferguson ran a dirty state senate campaign.

That gets Addison's attention. To further complicate things, Kay Henning, the wife of reporter Marcus Henning, has come...

But what he uncovers could destroy everything he holds dear- his job, his career... and Kay. This is the second in Debra Gaskill's Jubilant...
